Statistics from the Vietnam Maritime and Waterways Administration showed that the number of seagoing vessel calls through Vietnam’s seaport system reached 134,600 last year, up 32% year-on-year, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.
The number of inland waterway vessel calls through seaports and inland ports totalled 733,200. Cargo throughput via seaports rose by 10%, while that through inland waterway ports increased by 17%.
Container throughput at Vietnam’s ports is expected to maintain growth, with deep-water ports in particular set to record higher efficiency thanks to larger vessel deployment and the accelerated development of infrastructure, which will help enhance competitiveness, according to MBS Securities JSC.
By 2030, total investment demand for Vietnam’s entire seaport system is estimated to reach VND359.5 trillion ($13.8 billion), including VND72.8 trillion for public maritime infrastructure, with the remaining VND286.7 trillion earmarked for commercial terminals providing cargo-handling services.
