Long An International Port is one of the biggest seaports in Vietnam with a total area of 147ha that includes nine berths that can serve 30,000-70,000 DWT ships.
Dong Tam Group is finishing the legal procedures to expand the scale of the Berths no. 8 and 9 to the designed capacity of 100,000 DWT.
In addition, the investor is also planning to build a special berth serving vessels containing liquid cargo of oil and liquefied gas. All constructions are being promptly constructed on schedule, with expectations of completing them in 2023.
In 2020, Long An International Port has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with ports in the Mekong Delta region, facilitating the development of a multimodal freight transport network. This will be the basis for Long An International Port to become a cargo transshipment centre of the Mekong Delta and the Southeast region to other regions domestically and internationally, contributing to reducing commodity costs and improving the competitiveness of regional enterprises.
In the first two months of 2021, the volume of goods imported and exported through Long An International Port reached nearly 200,000 tonnes. Besides, Long An International Port signed a cooperation agreement with wind power projects, officially becoming a strategic wind power centre for the southern area of the country.
