In an official dispatch sent to the Ministry of Transport, the People's Committee of Soc Trang province said that according to the master plan for the development of Vietnam's seaport system in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, Tran De port will have general, container, bulk cargo and passenger terminals.
Tran De Port is planned offshore to take on the role of a gateway port for the Mekong Delta, receiving ships with a capacity of up to 5,000 DWT for in-river wharfs; general cargo ships, containers with a capacity of up to 100,000 DWT or larger when qualified, bulk cargo ships with a capacity of up to 160,000 DWT offshore Tran De estuary.
Soc Trang Provincial People's Committee plans to invest in Tran De offshore port with a port area of 411.25 hectares, of which the start-up phase will be 81.60 hectares.
The wharf has a total length of 5,300 m and can receive general cargo ships, container ships with a capacity of up to 100,000 DWT (6,000 to 8,000 teus), and bulk cargo ships of 160,000 DWT.
In the initial phase, investment will be made in two 800 m long wharves for general cargo and container ships with a capacity of up to 100,000 DWT and two buoy wharves for bulk cargo (coal) transfer for ships with a capacity of up to 160,000 DWT.
In addition, the port has a 9,800 m long embankment and breakwater system (4,000 m long in the initial phase); a 17.8 km long, 28 m wide sea-crossing bridge, 6 lanes (2 lanes 9 m wide in the initial phase are arranged); the approach bridge connecting the sea-crossing bridge with the port in the initial phase is 1.85 km long, 28 m wide (9 m wide in the initial phase). The road behind the port connects National Highway 91 B to the sea-crossing bridge, 6.3 km long.
The port logistics service area of Tran De port is expected to be about 4,000 hectares in size, including: leveling the ground, building internal roads, water supply and drainage systems, power generation... (start-up phase area of 1,000 hectares).
Preliminary total investment of Tran De port project is about 162,730 billion VND. Of which:
The initial phase has a total investment of VND 44,695 billion, including VND 19,403 billion of public investment capital and VND 25,292 billion of private investment capital.
The completion phase has a total investment of 162,731 billion VND: public investment capital is 46,476 billion VND, private capital is 116,255 billion VND.
The People's Committee of Soc Trang province assessed that the Tran De port project has a large investment capital, slow capital recovery, and is being invested in a particularly difficult area. Therefore, in addition to capital calling for social investment in ports according to the planning, it is necessary to arrange state budget capital to invest in public maritime infrastructure, sea-crossing bridges, and connecting roads from Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway to Tran De port.
Therefore, the People's Committee of Soc Trang province proposed that the Ministry of Transport consider and approve the Government's priority investment in the period 2025-2030 for the following items: construction of a road behind the port connecting to the Tran De offshore port; construction of a sea-crossing bridge; breakwater, shipping channel and turning basin with a total capital of VND 19,403 billion.
