With the characteristic of being the nearest sea gateway of the North Central region and neighboring Laos, Cua Lo Port has an important strategic position in the regional logistics chain. Nghe Tinh Port commits to continue investing in infrastructure, improving the exploitation process, and enhancing service quality to meet the increasing needs of partners and customers.
The opening of the Cua Lo – Dongguan route not only contributes to expanding Nghe An’s import and export market but also affirms the role of Cua Lo Port in the strategy of developing the marine economy, logistics and international integration. This is expected to be an important foundation to help Nghe An increase its competitiveness, attract investment and develop sustainably in the coming time.
