According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tai - Director of Vissai Nghe An International Port, this is the most destructive storm in many years. Although the Port has implemented prevention plans in advance, it is still heavily affected at wharf No. 2.

This means that the system of bridges, conveyor belts, roads, and roofs at wharf No. 1 must bear a larger capacity to meet customer demands in the coming time. Photo: Quang An
