PORTS |

The port potentiality is always
the biggest advantage of Ba Ria-Vung Tau. Ports on Thi Vai
river, Dinh river, Ben Dam Bay,etc. have been gradually
established. If bringing into play all the potential, the
handle capacity can reach 70-80 million tons/year. Thi Vai
river is 32 kilometres long (with 25 kilometres running
across the province ), 600 to 800 meters wide, and 10 to
20 meters deep. With its flowing direction being nearly
parallel to the National Highway 51, the river is
convenient for building a deep water port, which can |
 |
|
accommodate ships up to 30 to 50
thousand DWT. The cross current of the Thi Vai river and
the Go Gia river is suitable for building a accommodating
ships of 60 thousand DWT. Calculations show that it is
possible to erect eight terminals along this river with
the total loading capacity of 50 million tones per year.
Currently, Ba Ria Sereece port with a length of 132 meters
on Thi Vai river has been put into operation with a
loading capacity of 1.2 million tones per year and can
receive 60,000-ton vessels. Six other projects on building
ports on this river has been under consideration.

The Sao Mai – Ben Dinh deepwater
estuary enables ports accommodating container ships to 80,000
DWT and oil tankers to 200,000 DWT. |
|
In Con Dao, there is Ben Dam Bay
with 4 km long, 1.6 km wide, 5 to 8 m deep, a land area of
about 20 ha. Being safe from the wind, this port can operate
all the year round. Its natural conditions gives possibility
to the port construction with a capacity of 5 to 6 million
tons/year. |

On Dinh river of which the portion
through Vung Tau City is about 10 km long. Nowadays, a
range of ports has been invested and come into use
,accessible for ships of 5 to 10 thousand DWT, with a
loading capacity of 3 to 4 million tones per year. Some
ports could be named here such as Vietsovpetro joint
venture port ( 1,387 m), and PTSC port ( 370m) easy of
access for 10,000 ton vessels; Petroleum port K2 ( 330 m)
and Commercial port (250m) easy of |
 |
|
access for 5,000 ton vessels;
Fishing ports e.g. Cat Lo (110m), Phuoc Tinh(50m), Ben Dam
Con Dao(336m) accessible for 1000 to 2000 ton vessels.
|
|
In conclusion, Ba Ria-Vung Tau
province has great potentials for developing ports which can
handle by 2010 a loading capacity of 100 million tones a
year.
The system of ports in the province, if
invested properly and developed well, will serve as the
entrance to tens of millions of tones of goods, material and
equipment contributing to the economic development of the
Southern provinces in Viet Nam.
