Acting General Director of the Vietnam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) Nguyen Canh Tinh provided information related to Vietnam’s seaport development plans at a working session in Rotterdam on July 11, on the occasion of Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s recent visit to the Netherlands.
According to director Tinh, by the end of 2016, Vietnam built 44 seaports with 219 wharfs, serving over 103,000 ships and nearly 460 million tonnes of goods. The volume of goods handled at the ports is forecast to reach over 1,100 million tonnes by 2030.
Mr. Tinh suggested the Dutch side share its experience in seaport management and operation, and coordinate with Vietnam in attracting goods to and from Rotterdam port through transshipment at Cai Mep – Thi Vai port of Vietnam.
