On March 25, 2021, the Vietnamese Prime Minister approved the investment policy for the shared infrastructure development of the Lien Chieu Port. This is a Group A project managed by the Da Nang People's Committee.
The Lien Chieu Port project consists of 2 components.
Component A, with an investment capital of over VND 3,400 billion funded by the national and municipal budgets, is slated to be start construction in September 2022 with the following items such as dikes, breakwater systems, navigation channel, turnaround places and marine signaling systems, electricity and water supply infrastructure and ancillary works synchronously to the port gate.
Component B (startup phase), covering a total area of 44ha and comprising 2 wharves (750 square meters) is called for private investment capital.
The project falls under the authority of the Prime Minister who will approve investment policy. Investors will enjoy full incentives on land, corporate income tax, import tax and other taxes.
By 2050, the Lien Chieu Port will have a handling capacity of 50 million tonnes/year. This is one of three deep-water seaports of Viet Nam, planned as a special port with the scale of receiving cargo ships of up to 100,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) and container ships with loading capacities from 6,000 to 8,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEUs).
