Located in the central Vietnamese coastal city of Da Nang, Tien Sa port will be built into a modern container port once the use of Song Han port changes. According to General Director Nguyen Thu of Da Nang port, during the 2008-2011 period, 29 billion VND (US$1.75 million) will be poured into Tien Sa port's warehouses with the installation of two wharves while the Son Tra port project
will be built at a cost of 586 billion VND.
The Da Nang port proposed the city's authorities pave the way for the development of its infrastructural facilities with a view to turning Da Nang into the gateway to the east-west economic corridor linking central Vietnam with central Laos, northeastern Thailand and Myanmar.
It also proposed allowing trucks to enter Song Han port and allow Da Nang port to use land for the establishment of a navigation development centre and tourism service in the central region.
In the first eight months of the year, Da Nang port welcomed 34 ships with more than 20,730 tourists on board, a year-on-year rise of 13.83 per cent, and earned a turnover of 118.5 billion VND. Its total commodity volume handled through the port in the reviewed period is estimated at more than 3 million tonnes.
Da Nang port will reduce its navigation guarantee fees by 25 per cent as well as the fixed container prices with the hope of attracting more container ships.
