Ho Chi Minh City is to build the $6-billion Can Gio international transshipment “superport”, with more than 6.8 km of wharves capable of berthing the world’s largest vessels. The superport will have a throughput capacity of 10-15 million TEUs, or nearly three times higher than at the city’s Cat Lai Port, the country’s largest, to create breakthroughs in the development of its marine economy.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed six measures to address cargo congestion at Cat Lai Port in Ho Chi Minh City to avoid any impact on trade. The transfer of imported containers from regional ports will be suspended, and congested imported goods will be delivered to customers at the facilities of the Sai Gon Newport Corporation.
