Spain’s leading operator of port terminals Grup TCB is seeking assistance from the HCMC government for a container terminal project the company wants to develop in Hiep Phuoc Port urban area in Nha Be District, according to the Saigon Times Daily.
Xavier Soucheiron, CEO of the group, told HCMC vice-chairman Nguyen Trung Tin that he expected to complete the pre-feasibility study for the terminal project in the next six months.
“We need the support from the city to ensure that the project will be developed in the right direction,’’ said Soucheiron. But he expressed his anxiety about the infrastructural conditions in the area now.
Soucheiron said an agreement on developing a container terminal in Hiep Phuoc was signed last November at Barcelona-based headquarters of Grup TCB. He is in Vietnam to work with leaders of Tan Thuan Industrial Promotion Company (IPC), which oversees development of Hiep Phuoc Port urban area.
“The pre-feasibility study still is in progress and we want to start work as soon as possible after finishing it,’’ he added.
