Approval of the location for receiving dredged waste from My Thuy Port Area

Standing Vice Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee Ha Sy Dong has just signed a document to My Thuy International Port Joint Stock Company (MTIP) regarding the determination of the location to receive dredged products of My Thuy Port Area project, requesting MTIP to proactively implement and commit to arranging locations to receive dredged products in accordance with the project implementation situation, ensuring that it does not affect the construction progress and the operational functions of functional areas when the project comes into operation.

Accordingly, the total volume of dredging products during the construction of My Thuy Port Area, Phase 1 is 13.22 million ^m3 , of which more than 988,000 m3 ^of white sand meets the standards for making glass tiles for construction and used in the field of mold production, the remaining 12.23 million m3 ^of sand can be used as filling material.

The white sand will be gathered in the 25-hectare area after the closure of the mine of VICO Quang Tri Investment and Mineral Joint Stock Company and the surrounding area. The dredged products will be gathered in the areas within the scope of phases 1, 2, and 3 of the project. According to the survey results, the dredged products do not contain mud and impurities, so MTIP does not consider the option of dumping.

Regarding the expected time of dredging product collection, MTIP is looking for sources of dredging product consumption and other collection sites outside the project to ensure collection no later than 2030; at the same time, the scale and height of the collection sites in the project will also be adjusted to suit the actual situation.

The approval of the location of the dredged material storage site is the basis for MTIP to implement the next steps such as preparing a dossier to adjust the project's environmental impact assessment (EIA) expected to be submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in the fourth quarter of 2024, consulting on the preparation of a dossier to request permission for forest conversion, measuring and marking the site clearance for phases 2 and 3.

The My Thuy Port Project (Hai An Commune, Hai Lang District, in the Southeast Quang Tri Economic Zone) was approved by the Prime Minister in January 2019, including 10 ports, invested in 3 phases from 2018-2036, with a total investment capital of VND 14,234 billion, ensuring the reception of ships with a tonnage of 100,000 tons. MTIP is urgently constructing the project items, striving to complete at least 1 wharf by the end of 2025.
