Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport area is still facing some difficulties in receiving large ships.
According to the Vietnam Maritime Administration, implementing the Project to study and improve the exploitation capacity of public infrastructure and existing port infrastructure, this agency is implementing plans to improve the exploitation capacity of public infrastructure in the Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport area.
According to the Vietnam Maritime Administration, seaports in this area are facing some difficulties in receiving large ships.
Specifically, the Cai Mep - Thi Vai waterway has a number of bends with small radiuses. Large ships must reduce speed to maneuver through the bends, making maneuvering large tonnage ships difficult.
Some river ports such as Interflour Cai Mep, Cai Mep Thuong container (TCCT and TCIT ports), PV Gas Vung Tau, Petec Cai Mep Petroleum... have wharf edges protruding far from the shore, the port's hydrological limit is located near the waterway protection corridor.
Meanwhile, the daily traffic of seagoing and river vessels on Cai Mep - Thi Vai River is large (about 110 vessels/day).
For ships with a capacity of more than 200,000 DWT, when entering and exiting many sections, they only go one way, so the calculation when traveling through the Vung Tau - Thi Vai area with sufficient draft and safe flow is very limited.
In particular, the area has open terrain so the influence of monsoons and storms is very strong. Large ships, especially high freeboard container ships, are easily drifted out of the shipping lane.
Recently, many large ships have entered and exited Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport, especially in Cai Mep - Thi Vai area.
To overcome the above situation, the Vietnam Maritime Administration is establishing an investment policy to "block" the S-shaped bend to increase efficiency in receiving large ships.
This agency also implements traffic diversion in the shipping channel area; organizes dredging and upgrading of shipping channels.
According to the Vietnam Maritime Administration, in recent years, Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport has continuously received many large tonnage ships. In the past 5 years, the seaport in this area has received 3,540 ships with tonnage larger than announced to enter and leave safely. Among them, there are many very large ships with tonnage of over 200,000 DWT.
It can be seen that Cai Mep port area is an international gateway and key national transit port with planned investment, along with maritime infrastructure and a large depth that can accommodate large tonnage ships in the world.
In addition, Cai Mep - Thi Vai port area is planned for ships up to 250,000 DWT, so continuing to invest in developing maritime infrastructure in Cai Mep - Thi Vai port area and improving the exploitation capacity at the ports is a top priority to meet the conditions for receiving large tonnage ships.
Ba Ria - Vung Tau seaport is one of the deepest seaports in the Vietnamese seaport system with the role of a special national seaport, located in the Southern Key Economic Zone, at the gateway to the East Sea of the provinces in the Southeast region, connecting trade with Ho Chi Minh City and other localities by road, air and waterway.
In particular, Cai Mep port area is a port area planned to take on an important role as a gateway port and international transit port of Vietnam in general and Ba Ria - Vung Tau in particular.
