Con Ong – Hon Net port, located in Cam Pha ward’s coastal area (Quang Ninh), plays a strategic role in the province’s and the North’s supply chain. The area currently has two main anchorage areas in operation. The Con Ong coal port can accommodate vessels up to 70,000 tons, while the Hon Net transshipment area serves vessels ranging from 3,000 to 200,000 tons.
The total capacity of the port currently stands at approximately 7.14 million tons per year at the onshore berth and 76.64 million tons per year at the offshore transshipment area. Con Ong – Hon Net is the only area permitted for bulk cargo handling, including coal, clinker, cement, and stone, catering to import and export activities.
The Con Ong – Hon Net port has been identified in numerous national and provincial plans as one of the strategic sea ports. With a natural channel depth ranging from -7m to -13.4m, this area is less susceptible to large waves and silt accumulation, providing ideal conditions for the development of a logistics hub and strategic transshipment center for the Northern key economic region and the entire country.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tu, Director of the Provincial Department of Construction, assessed that with its sheltered location, deep ship channel, and connectivity to economic zones and industrial parks in the region, the Con Ong – Hon Net port has the potential to become a strategic transshipment hub, helping to relieve congestion at major ports like Hai Phong and Cai Lan.
Sharing this view, the Area VIII Customs Office emphasized that developing the port would establish a new international clearance point, shorten the logistics chain, expedite cargo clearance, and significantly contribute to the local budget.
However, the reality shows that this potential remains untapped. The area has yet to leverage its advantages to create a thriving port and logistics services system.
The port and logistics services in this area have not witnessed robust development, lacking connective infrastructure and attractive incentive mechanisms to lure major investors. To unlock the port’s value, investments are needed to enhance connective infrastructure and establish supportive mechanisms for investors.
The Provincial People’s Committee has included the port project in the list of investment promotions for 2025 and assigned relevant departments to finalize the legal framework, master plan, and inter-regional traffic connectivity roadmap to facilitate port development.
According to the Provincial Portal of Quang Ninh, the province is actively reviewing investment incentives in line with the 2020 Investment Law to ensure competitiveness, transparency, and business accompaniment in implementing large-scale projects like the Con Ong – Hon Net port. They are also considering using the state budget to invest in a road connecting the port to National Highway 18 and the Ha Long – Van Don – Mong Cai expressway.
As per the Provincial People’s Committee’s report, the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) has proposed researching investment in a port for coal exports. However, to reach an official investment decision, more incentives and legal procedure support are necessary.
Firstly, tax exemptions and reductions, land support, credit incentives, reduced logistics costs at the port, and proactive investment promotion by attracting major logistics and port corporations, both domestic and foreign, are required. Additionally, early completion of connective infrastructure and access roads to the port is essential.
Moreover, ensuring stable and long-term planning provides investors with peace of mind and prevents sudden planning changes from impacting project effectiveness.
Completing connective infrastructure, maintaining planning stability, and building investor confidence are the keys to unlocking the Con Ong – Hon Net port’s potential, transforming it into a regional-scale transshipment hub.
