2 Vung Tau ports nearing completion

Two new ports are slated to open in Vung Tau next quarter, taking the number of international terminals in the southern city to three.

The Cai Mep International Terminal has been built by the Sai Gon Port Company and Denmark’s Maersk A/S Corp at a cost of US$260 million.

Sai Gon Port has also built the $280-million SP-SSA International Terminal, this one along with the US-based SSA Holdings.

The two can receive ships of up to 160,000 tons and together have a capacity of one million 20-feet equivalent units a year.

However, their opening could be postponed since roads connecting them to National Highway 51 have not been completed yet. – Tuoitre
