Tran De Port in Soc Trang province is among projects prioritized for investment to become a Mekong Delta gateway and handle 30-35 million tons of cargo annually.
The Vietnam Waterway Administration has reported that the volume of goods being transported between Vietnam and Cambodia by ship is increasing, with container cargo rising 20 per cent each year. However, goods on the route connecting Cat Lai Port and Cai Mep - Thi Vai Port in Vietnam with Phnom Penh are being transferred to Sihanoukville in Cambodia or Laem Chabang in Thailand, posing a risk of losses during transit.
