Da Nang proposes to adjust Lien Chieu port planning

TPO - The People's Committee of Da Nang City has just sent a document to the Ministry of Transport proposing to adjust the planning of Lien Chieu port and giving some comments on the planning of land and water areas of seaports in the city.

Accordingly, the People's Committee of Da Nang City has proposed the Ministry of Transport to study the planning of Lien Chieu port area with 3 main ports: Lien Chieu container port; Lien Chieu general, container and bulk cargo port; Lien Chieu liquid and gas port.

Specifically, Lien Chieu container port will have a scale of 8 wharves with a total length of 2,750m, capable of receiving ships up to 18,000 TEU (200,000 DWT), and an additional 700m wharf to receive ships with a tonnage of up to 5,000 tons. By 2030, it is expected to develop from 2 to 4 wharves, of which the initial 2 wharves will be able to handle cargo traffic from 7.5 to 11.9 million tons, while the remaining 2 wharves will be developed based on international container transit needs.

Lien Chieu general, container and bulk cargo port is planned with 6 wharves, total length of 1,550 m, capable of receiving ships up to 100,000 DWT and 500 m wharf to receive ships of 5,000 tons. The project will be invested and put into operation gradually after 2030 to convert the functions of Tien Sa and Tho Quang wharves, and at the same time meet the demand for cargo transportation in the region.

Lien Chieu liquid and gas terminal consists of 8 wharves. By 2030, it is expected to build 4 wharves to relocate the current liquid buoy terminals, and 1 to 2 wharves to serve the new LNG and LPG storage warehouse in Lien Chieu, meeting the national petroleum and gas storage infrastructure development plan.

Da Nang City also commented on updating the current status of Tho Quang wharf area (Son Tra district), clearly defining the scope and area of ​​passenger wharf at Tien Sa wharf area, and proposing to add a maritime route connecting with the Han River inland waterway into the planning.

Da Nang City proposed to consider arranging the expanded storm shelter anchorage area (500 hectares) in another location, because the current location in Da Nang Bay is not suitable for the city's development planning; it is necessary to review and update the contents of Decision 582/QD-TTg dated July 3, 2024 of the Prime Minister on planning the fishing port system and storm shelter anchorage area for fishing vessels in the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050.

It is known that the Lien Chieu port construction project has a shared infrastructure part, deployed in Hoa Hiep Bac ward, Lien Chieu district (Da Nang city). The total investment capital for the project is more than 3,400 billion VND, from the central budget and Da Nang city budget.
