This is one of the notable information in Official Dispatch No. 909/BKHĐT - GSTĐĐT just sent by the Ministry of Planning and Investment to the People's Committee of Da Nang City, Da Nang Port Joint Stock Company, Anh Phat Construction and Trading Investment Corporation, and Adani Group Representative Office in Vietnam regarding the suspension of appraisal and approval of the investment policy for 2 container terminals (2 starting terminals) of Lien Chieu port.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment said that according to Article 31 of the 2020 Investment Law, investment projects to build new ports and port areas belonging to special ports; ports and port areas with an investment capital scale of VND 2,300 billion or more belonging to type I seaports, are under the authority of the Prime Minister to approve investment policies.
In compliance with the provisions of law and the call for investment of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, investors including: Da Nang Port Joint Stock Company; Joint venture between Anh Phat Investment, Construction and Trade Corporation and Adani Port and Special Economic Zone Limited under Adani Group - India have submitted a proposal for the Investment Project of 2 container terminals (2 starting terminals) of Lien Chieu port to the Ministry of Planning and Investment for appraisal and submission to the Prime Minister for approval of the investment policy.
According to the law, if the dossier proposed by Da Nang Port Joint Stock Company is not qualified, the dossier proposed by Anh Phat - Adano Joint Venture will be appraised. If both dossiers are not qualified, the Ministry of Planning and Investment will notify the suspension of the appraisal.
However, while the Ministry of Planning and Investment was appraising the documents proposed by Da Nang Port Joint Stock Company, the People's Committee of Da Nang City changed the investment calling plan and proposed to the competent authority to invest in Lien Chieu port according to the overall investment plan.
In December 2023, the Government leaders assigned the People's Committee of Da Nang City to collect opinions from relevant agencies to complete the investment plan for the construction of Lien Chieu port to ensure comprehensive, synchronous, modern, and optimally effective development, maximizing the advantages of geographical location and development potential of Da Nang City, and competing with ports in the region.
In addition, at Point d, Clause 1, Article 12 of Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 dated June 26, 2024 of the National Assembly on the organization of urban government and piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Da Nang City, it is stipulated that investment in the overall construction of Lien Chieu seaport with an investment capital of VND 45,000 billion or more is included in the List of priority industries, occupations, and projects to attract strategic investors to Da Nang City.
At the first meeting of the Steering Committee for the implementation of Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh directed to unify the policy of calling for overall investment in Lien Chieu container port and selecting strategic investors according to Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 to implement the project investment; ensuring synchronization, modernity, meeting the standards of a green port and an international transit port.
Thus, according to the provisions of Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 and the direction of the Government leaders at Lien Chieu port and Da Nang port will be invested according to the overall project of 8 container terminals, not investing separately in the project of 2 container terminals, so there is no basis to continue to organize the appraisal of the investment project dossier of 2 container terminals (2 starting terminals) at Lien Chieu port that investors have submitted to the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
"Therefore, the Ministry of Planning and Investment stops appraising and approving the investment policy of 2 container terminals (2 starting terminals) of 8 container terminals in Lien Chieu wharf area, Da Nang port, which have been submitted by investors," the official dispatch of the Ministry of Planning and Investment stated.
