First container ship docks at Dung Quat Port

The Pacific Gloria carrying goods from Singapore docked at the Dung Quat Gemandep Port on October 1.

This is the biggest container ship to dock at the port so far. The 9,000-tonne ship brought more than 100 containers of goods for businesses in the Dung Quat Economic Zone and other IZs in Quang Ngai and neighbouring areas.

The port was built in 2008 at an investment of nearly VND580 billion and with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of goods per year.

Dung Quat Gemandep is a professional port which receives container ships and other freighters. However, due to low demand for transporting of goods in Dung Quat IZ and other IZs in the region, the port has not been fully exploited over the past two years. – VOV
