Phu My Port has two new bulk warehouses

Baria Serece Company and Bunge Vietnam Ltd yesterday inaugurated two new large warehouses for containing farm produce at Phu My Port along the Thi Vai River in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province’s Tan Thanh District.

Nguyen Thu Trang, deputy general director of Baria Serece Company as a major operator of the port, said the inauguration of the warehouses helped raise total containing capacity of the port’s four warehouses up to 200,000 tonnes.

The warehouses are used exclusively by Bunge Vietnam Limited to contain farm produce such as corn, wheat, soybean and others for cattle-feed production.

Baria Serece Company yesterday morning also launched into operation its fourth shore crane which helps the port now be able to load 35,000 tonnes of commodities each day.

Trang said total investment capital for the two warehouses and the shore crane was $5.5 million.

She told the Daily that by the end of this year her company would upgrade the quay of Phu My Port to receive vessels of 80,000 gross registered tonnage compared to the current receiving capacity of 60,000 GRT.

“Besides, we will also build two new warehouses with containing capacity of 50,000 tonnes by 2011″, she said.

Phu My Port is located on the Thi Vai River in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province some 70 kilometers from HCM City.
