More than 1,700 billion VND for maritime construction maintenance in 2025

The Ministry of Transport has just approved the Maritime Works Maintenance Plan for 2025.

According to the plan, the total budget capital expected for maritime construction maintenance in 2025 is about more than 1,745 billion VND.

Specifically, the estimated funding for dredging and maintenance of maritime channels is approximately 1,681 billion VND, and the estimated funding for repair and maintenance of maritime structures is over 64 billion VND.

Many dredging projects will be carried out in 2025 to ensure the standard depth of the shipping channel (Illustration photo).

In 2025, many dredging and maintenance projects will continue to be implemented throughout the year. Specifically, the project to dredge the Da Nang maritime channel to standard depths of -11.0/-8.1/-5.6 m will be carried out over 3 years from 2023-2025. The project has an estimated dredging volume of approximately 200,000 m3 and a budget of over 37 billion VND.

During the 2024-2025 period, dredging will be carried out on many maritime channels such as the Hai Phong channel (Lach Huyen section, Song Cam section, Cai Trap Canal), Pha Rung channel, Cua Hoi - Ben Thuy channel (Cua Hoi section), Cua Viet channel, Soai Rap channel, Saigon - Vung Tau channel, Ba Ngoi channel, and a maritime channel for large-tonnage ships entering the Hau River.

Projects to be implemented in 2025-2026 will involve dredging and maintenance of maritime channels such as: Hai Phong (Ha Nam Canal section, Bach Dang Canal), Nghi Son, Cua Lo, Chan May, Phan Thiet, Soai Rap, Vung Tau - Thi Vai (including the Dinh River maritime channel).

In 2025 alone, the Rach Gia waterway will be dredged and completed to a depth of -2.5m. The project has a budget of about 25 billion VND.

During the period from 2025-2028, three maritime channel projects will be scheduled for maintenance dredging: Hai Phong (Lach Huyen section); Saigon - Vung Tau; and the maritime channel for large cargo ships entering the Hau River.

For the 2025 plan for the repair and maintenance of maritime structures, five projects will be implemented: Repair and maintenance of the sand barrier system on the Cua Viet maritime channel (South dike); Repair and maintenance of the dike system on the Ha Nam Canal section (Hai Phong channel); Repair and maintenance of the sand barrier section of the Lach Huyen channel (Hai Phong channel); Repair and maintenance of the South dike (Hai Thinh channel); Repair and maintenance of the mooring buoy system on the Dinh An - Song Hau channel.

The Vietnam Maritime Administration is responsible for organizing the implementation of the plan's contents, ensuring quality, economic and technical efficiency, progress, and compliance with legal regulations.

Exercise the authority of the investment decision-maker for projects included in the plan approved by the Ministry of Transport in the decision.

In addition, the Vietnam Maritime Administration prepares and reports to the Ministry of Transport a detailed progress schedule for the implementation of the plan, which serves as a basis for inspection and supervision during the implementation process. It also compiles and reports periodically and on an ad hoc basis on the results of the plan's implementation as required.

At the same time, strengthen state management, inspection, supervision, and guidance for relevant agencies and units to implement the plan, especially the inspection and supervision of the disposal of dredged material and the surveying and measurement of depth during the implementation of projects in accordance with the law.

The Department of Transport Infrastructure is responsible for coordinating and advising the Ministry's leadership on the process of organizing, implementing, inspecting, adjusting, and supplementing the plan in a timely, effective, and legally compliant manner.
