The container terminal, expected to process 1.15 million 20-foot containers a year, will be built in Vung Tau, 125 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City, POSCO E&C said in a statement.
The formal contract is scheduled to be signed in April, with the South Korean builder slated to break ground for the terminal in May with the aim of completing it by 2011, POSCO E&C said.
