The project has a scale of about 571 hectares and a total investment of more than VND 50,000 billion. The port’s operating duration is expected to be 50 years from the date of approval.
The joint venture between Saigon Port Joint Stock Company and Terminal Investment Limited Holding S.A (a subsidiary of the MSC Group, the world’s largest container shipping company) is the main subject proposing the implementation of this project. The port is designed to receive super-large container ships of up to 250,000 tons (equivalent to 24,000 TEU). By 2045, the clearance capacity is expected to reach about 16.9 million TEU/year.
