The Soc Trang authorities emphasized the large investment scale and slow capital recovery of the Tran De port project, which is located in an extremely difficult area. Therefore, in addition to mobilizing social investment for the construction of wharves according to the planning, it is necessary to allocate state capital to invest in public maritime infrastructure synchronously with the roadmap for calling investment in wharf infrastructure. This will enhance the attractiveness of the project to private investors, similar to other gateway ports (Lach Huyen and Lien Chieu) that have successfully attracted investment in the past.

To expedite the investment process for Tran De port, concretize the Master Plan for the Development of Vietnam’s Seaport System for the period of 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, the Soc Trang Provincial People’s Committee proposed that the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Planning and Investment consider and approve to submit to the Prime Minister for inclusion in the Government’s Resolution and Program. The project aims to complete the investment procedures in 2025 and start construction in 2026.
Additionally, they requested support from the central budget for the 2025-2030 period, with a capital of VND 19,403 billion, to invest in critical components such as the road behind the port connecting to the offshore Tran De wharf, the sea-crossing bridge, dikes, wave breakers, ship channels, and turning basins.
In the Master Plan for the Development of Vietnam’s Seaport System for the period of 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, which was approved by the Prime Minister, Soc Trang seaport is classified as a type III seaport, belonging to seaport group 5. The potential to become a special seaport is envisioned when it forms a gateway for the Mekong Delta region in Tran De district.
The Tran De port area is oriented to become a deep-water seaport for the Mekong Delta region. The project is on a large scale and can accommodate vessels with a capacity of up to 160,000 DWT.

Therefore, the province has exerted great efforts, paid attention, and promoted all resources to implement the project. |
