Vietnam nod for Japanese port venture

10/1/2010 10:26:51 AM

Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has approved Vietnam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) to set up a joint venture with three Japanese companies to build two wharfs costing US$350 million in the northern city of Haiphong, according to Vietnam News Brief Service.

Japanese firms Mitsui O.S.K Lines, Nippon Yusen KK and Itochu Corporation and Vinalines will carry out the project under the public-private partnership (PPP) form.

Located in Lach Huyen district, the container port will be able to receive 8,000 TEU containerships that are unable to dock at neighbouring ports, enabling direct exports to North America.


Once operational in 2015, the port, which will become Vietnam's biggest terminal, is expected to handle 855,000 TEUs per year, accounting for nearly half of the total container loading capacity of northern ports.
