Nghe An attracts investment to build Dong Hoi port of more than 16,000 billion VND
(Baonghean.vn) - In response to the need for industrial development in Hoang Mai and Phu Quy regions, Nghe An is calling for investment in Dong Hoi port.
The master plan for the development of Vietnam's seaport system to 2020, with a vision to 2030, in Decision No. 2190/QD - TTg/2009, identifies Dong Hoi port as a specialized port and has been approved by the Ministry of Transport.
The planning scope of the port area has an area of 1,096.7 hectares (including land and water areas) with a total estimated cost for the period up to 2015 of 10,574 billion VND, and for the period up to 2020 of 16,555 billion VND, including breakwater and shipping channel items.
The main source of capital for port investment is self-mobilized capital of the Investor of Dong Hoi Industrial Park, capital mobilized by agencies and enterprises participating in investment and operation in the Industrial Park, and other mobilized capital sources.

Currently, there are investors researching the construction of ports to serve factories in the Port Area such as Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Group, Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation, Thanh Thanh Dat Company Limited. Nghe An is also actively attracting an automobile manufacturing factory with an initial scale of 50,000 units per year from Mitsubishi Corporation and the investor also requested the locality to invest in a port to serve production and business activities. Therefore, investing in the breakwater and dredging of Dong Hoi port channel is very necessary to develop Dong Hoi industry and Hoang Mai Nghe An Industrial Park.
