In Official Dispatch No. 6544, the Ministry of Construction affirmed that the project proposal dossier of the Geleximco - ITC - SCIC consortium is consistent with the orientation of the National Master Plan, planning, and development strategy of the industry and sector, consistent with the Master Plan for the development of the Vietnam seaport system and the Detailed Plan for the seaport group for the period 2021-2030, the period 2050 in terms of investment objectives, ship size, quantity and function of the ports.
In addition, the proposed investment phase of the Project is also consistent with the investment roadmap according to the planning period up to 2030 and after 2030.
Regarding the proposal for overall investment in Cai Mep Ha port area, in terms of viewpoint, the Ministry of Construction supports calling for investors with economic potential to carry out synchronous and overall investment in Cai Mep Ha port area to improve the efficiency of exploiting land fund, water surface, sea area, enhance the connection and compatibility between infrastructure and application of science and technology, contributing to realizing the planning orientation of Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport as a special port (international gateway); at the same time, overcoming the limitations in small-scale investment and exploitation in some seaport areas in the past time.
“The synchronous investment in the entire Cai Mep Ha wharf area (with investment phases according to the planning) will optimize the ability to exploit the wharf edge route for large ships, improve investment and exploitation efficiency, in line with the current development trend of Vietnam and the world,” the Ministry of Construction's dispatch clearly stated.
Regarding the need for investment, the Ministry of Construction said that currently, Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport has 7 ports with the function of exploiting container cargo with a planned capacity of 7.66 million TEUs/year by 2020, of which Cai Mep port area has 5 ports (Gemalink, SSIT, TCTT, CMIT, Cai Mep Thuong container port - TCCT&TCIT) and Thi Vai port area has 2 ports (SP-PSA, SITV).
According to statistics, the volume of container cargo through Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport in the past 3 years has reached over 8 million TEUs/year (8.44 million TEUs in 2021; 8.34 million TEUs in 2022; 8.14 million TEUs in 2023; 10.98 million TEUs in 2024), mainly concentrated in 5 ports in Cai Mep Wharf Area.
Thus, up to now, the amount of container cargo passing through has exceeded the design capacity of container terminals in Cai Mep area.
According to the Master Plan for the development of Vietnam's seaport system for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 20504, one of the priority seaport construction investment projects for the period up to 2030 is "wharfs at Cai Mep - Thi Vai wharf area (Ba Ria - Vung Tau)".
