According to the Management Board of Priority Infrastructure Investment Projects in Da Nang City, the Lien Chieu Port Container Terminal Complex Investment Project is expected to break ground on January 19, 2026.
The Lien Chieu Port Container Terminal Complex Investment Project is a key logistics infrastructure project in Central Vietnam. The total investment is estimated to exceed VND 45,268 billion.
As of December 24, 2025, two investors have submitted bids for the project: Hateco Group Joint Stock Company – Hateco Seaport LLC – APM Terminals B.V. (Netherlands); and Vietnam Maritime Corporation – Terminal Investment Limited Holding (Luxembourg).
According to the approved plan, the Lien Chieu Port Container Terminal Complex will cover a vast area of approximately 172.6 hectares, including 146.84 hectares of land. This comprises: a 136.71-hectare container port construction area; a 9.26-hectare rail yard and centralized parking area; a 0.6-hectare railway connection section; and a 0.27-hectare technical infrastructure hub. The water area (front port zone) spans approximately 25.76 hectares.
In terms of investment scale, the project includes the construction of 8 container berths with a total quay length of approximately 2,750 meters, capable of accommodating container ships up to 18,000 TEUs.
The planning guidelines emphasize the use of advanced, highly automated loading and unloading technology to ensure swift vessel turnaround, enhance cargo handling efficiency, and optimize land and port infrastructure utilization.
The project also includes the construction of barge berths capable of handling vessels and barges up to 5,000 tons, facilitating the consolidation and distribution of goods to and from inland ports nationwide. These barge berths will reduce road traffic pressure, lower logistics costs, and strengthen the connection between maritime and inland waterway transport.
Upon completion, the Lien Chieu Container Port will feature 8 modern berths capable of handling large container ships up to 18,000 TEUs. The expected annual throughput is approximately 5.7 million TEUs, equivalent to nearly 74 million tons of cargo per year. Additionally, the port can handle tens of millions of tons of general cargo annually. By 2030, the port’s capacity is projected to reach 14.25–36.3 million tons per year.
Beyond the berths, the project includes logistics zones, warehouses, connecting road systems, cargo handling areas, and a railway link to the national network, enhancing multimodal transport efficiency.

Phase 1 of the project, spanning from Q4 2025 to Q4 2028, focuses on constructing and commissioning at least two berths (Berths 1 and 2), along with supporting port infrastructure and auxiliary works. This phase also includes land reclamation for the rail yard and parking area, investment in the railway connection, and dredging of the front port and connecting water areas. All Phase 1 components are expected to be completed and operational by Q4 2028.
Phase 2, from Q1 2029 to Q4 2032, involves constructing Berths 3 and 4, along with supporting infrastructure and auxiliary works, and dredging the front port area. These components are slated for completion and operation by Q1 2033.
Phase 3, from Q1 2033 to Q4 2035, includes the construction of the remaining berths (Berths 5–8), barge berths, supporting infrastructure, and auxiliary works. Concurrent activities involve dredging the front port and connecting water areas, and completing the rail yard and parking facilities. All Phase 3 components are expected to be operational by Q1 2036.
