Quang Tri breaks ground on Vietnam-Laos border dry port

A groundbreaking ceremony for the VSICO Quang Tri Dry Port project was held at the Lao Bao International Border Gate in Huong Hoa District, Quang Tri Province, on March 25, according to a report from baochinhphu.vn . 

The project spans an area of over 85,000 sq.m, requiring the total investment capital of VND236 billion ($9.2 million).

The dry port is designed to handle a cargo capacity of 3.5 million tons annually, including a container volume of 100,000 TEUs and bulk cargo of 1,000,000 tons.

The project is expected to generate annual revenue of VND200 billion ($7,8 million) and contribute VND25 billion to the State budget (nearly $976,000).

The facility will be equipped with advanced infrastructure, including five cargo handling cranes, five bulk cargo leveling machines, and two weighing stations. With a maximum daily receiving capacity of 1,000 vehicles for export and import, the dry port is set to officially commence operations in the first quarter of 2026.

Speaking at the ceremony, Acting Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Ha Sy Dong underscored the increasing demand for goods transportation along the East-West Economic Corridor via Quang Tri seaports and other Central region ports.

He highlighted the urgent need to develop a synchronized transportation infrastructure system, including dry ports, to support economic growth and logistical efficiency.
