(Baonghean.vn) -Nghi Thiet seaport, nearly 2000 m long (Nghi Loc - Nghe An), is about to come into operation. This project will connect with 2 general ports to become the largest international seaport in Nghe An and one of the major seaports in the North Central region.
In recent days, the above seaport's investor, Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company, a member of The Vissai Cement Group, has been testing a conveyor system of more than 3,000m extending out to sea to supply cement and clinker to ships with a capacity of up to 70,000 tons.

Nghi Thiet sea area has a natural depth of 9m, when dredging the channel can reach a depth of 12 to 18m. The construction of a seaport here will serve ships over 70,000 tons to load and unload goods. After completing phase 1, the channel will be dredged, ships over 100,000 tons can dock at the wharf. Photo: Nguyen Son |

The construction of the 2,000-meter-long Nghi Thiet Wharf extending out to the sea in Nghi Thiet (Nghi Loc-Nghe An) has been accelerated by the investor for over a year. Photo: Nguyen Son |

The port was originally scheduled to be operational in August 2017. However, storm No. 2 (July 2017) with sea level rise of 5-7 m washed away the entire bridge pier, breaking the completed conveyor system. Therefore, the port operation had to be delayed by nearly 2 months. Photo: Tai Nguyen |

The investor has mobilized human resources and equipment to urgently rebuild the bridge abutment and drill piles to prevent landslides. Photo: Nguyen Son |
