This is one of the information that the Ministry of Transport has just sent to the National Assembly Delegation of Hai Phong City in response to the local voters' petition regarding the acceleration of the construction progress of the remaining wharves of Hai Phong international gateway port (Lach Huyen port).
According to the Ministry of Transport, in Decision No. 1579/QD-TTg dated September 22, 2021 of the Prime Minister approving the Master Plan for the development of Vietnam's seaport system for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, Lach Huyen Port Area has the function of a gateway combined with international transit, with container terminals for ships from 6,000-18,000 TEU, general terminals, bulk cargo for ships up to 100,000 tons, liquid/gas terminals for ships up to 150,000 tons; passenger terminals for ships up to 225,000 GT.
In the detailed adjustment plan of Lach Huyen Port Area in the detailed plan of Seaport Group No. 1 for the period up to 2020, with a vision to 2030, the container ports in Lach Huyen Port Area (Hai Phong seaport) are planned for the period up to 2025 to have 6 berths with a total length of 2,250-2,400 m to handle cargo from 2.2-2.7 million TEUs, and by 2030 (including the period up to 2025) to have 10-12 berths with a total length of 3,750-5,100 m to handle cargo from 5.5-6.1 million TEUs.
The Lach Huyen container port area is currently being exploited and investing in the construction of 08 berths, of which berths No. 1 and No. 2 have been exploited since 2018 with a total length of 750 m and a throughput capacity of about 1.5 million TEUs/year; berths No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 are under construction with a total length of 1,650 m and a throughput capacity of about 3 million TEUs/year; and berths No. 7 and No. 8 are under construction with a total length of 900 m and a throughput capacity of about 1.5 million TEUs/year. The berths from berths No. 3 to 8 will be put into operation from 2024 to 20272.
Thus, by 2027, Lach Huyen Container Port Area will have 8 berths (from berth 1-8) with a total length of 3,300 m and a container throughput capacity of 6 million TEUs invested and put into operation according to the approved planning roadmap, ensuring the capacity to meet the current and future cargo throughput needs in the area.
The Ministry of Transport has submitted to the Prime Minister for consideration and approval the adjustment of the Master Plan for the development of Vietnam's seaport system for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2030.

The investment roadmap for the next wharves in Lach Huyen Container Wharf Area will continue to be studied and specifically planned in the detailed planning of land and water areas to maximize the efficiency of investment in seaport exploitation.
