The proposed investment is appropriate and adheres to the developmental roadmap laid out in the master plans for the period to 2030 and beyond.

The plan sets ambitious goals to be achieved by 2030, including a capacity to handle 5.1 to 6.6 million tons of cargo, 3,500 to 4,700 TEUs of container cargo, and to accommodate 49,600 to 56,300 passenger arrivals per year.

The province's seaport system is set to undergo significant transformations, playing a crucial role in the region's cargo supply chain.

Cargo throughput estimated at from 8.8 million to 12 million tons by 2030

The plan sets a target for 2030 to achieve a cargo throughput of 12.4 to 15.3 million tons, including 80,000 TEUs of container cargo.

This is the province's first tourist seaport, marking a significant step in developing infrastructure for sea and island tourism, particularly for the Cua Viet – Con Co route.

According to projections, the total investment required for the seaport system is over VND14 trillion (over $537 million).

Concurrently, the transport distance is also reduced from approximately 367 km to 200 km.

The project will facilitate direct connections to major international maritime routes.

The central province's seaports handled a total cargo throughput of 34.15 million tons in 2024.
