The project is worth 45 trillion VND.
This is the "latest" step, following the commencement of Component A - the shared infrastructure part of the Lien Chieu Port project - at the end of 2022 and expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Through this, the project is expected to be not only a major infrastructure project but also a symbol of the ambition to develop the maritime economy and logistics of Da Nang in particular and Central Vietnam in general; potentially becoming an international transshipment port of Southeast Asian stature by the early 2030s.
According to the investment plan recently approved by the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the Lien Chieu Container Port Construction Project has a total estimated investment of over 45 trillion VND (over 1.75 billion USD). The project aims to create a modern container port, meeting green port standards and serving as an international transshipment hub, in line with the Vietnam Seaport Development Plan to 2030, with a vision to 2050.
With a scale of approximately 172 hectares (including 146 hectares of land and nearly 26 hectares of water in front of the berth), the project is implemented with a total designed capacity of approximately 5.7 million TEU/year (equivalent to about 74 million tons/year), with a projected capacity of 14.25 - 36.3 million tons/year by 2030.

The project will involve the construction of eight container berths with a total wharf length of 2,750m, capable of receiving container ships up to 18,000 TEUs. In addition, barge berths will be built to accommodate ships and barges up to 5,000 tons, serving to consolidate and distribute cargo from/to other seaports and inland waterways throughout the country.
The port's hinterland area is equipped with a system of warehouses and container storage yards located behind the berths, including: loaded container yards, empty container yards, refrigerated container yards, special container yards, inspection yards, loading and unloading yards, etc.
The project also includes a cargo handling and loading area to serve the railway, directly connecting the Lien Chieu terminal with the national railway network. The project's operating period is up to 50 years from the date of land allocation/land lease/sea area allocation.
The project will be implemented from Q4 2025 to Q1 2036, divided into 3 phases.
Specifically, in Phase 1, from Q4 2025 to Q4 2028, the investment will be made in constructing and putting into operation at least two berths (berths No. 1 and 2) and a comprehensive port hinterland system and supporting facilities. Completion and operation are expected from Q4 2028.
In Phase 2, from Q1 2029 to Q4 2032, investment will be made in the construction of berths 3 and 4 and a comprehensive system of supporting facilities; dredging of the waters in front of the berths. Completion and commissioning are expected from Q1 2033.
Phase 3, from Q1 2033 to Q4 2035, will involve the construction of the remaining berths (berths 5 to 8), the barge terminal area, and a comprehensive system of supporting infrastructure. Completion and commissioning are expected from Q1 2036.
Expected to attract the attention of major investors.
According to the plan, Component B will call for private capital investment to build the ports. It is known that during implementation, the project has attracted the attention of many large domestic and international investors, including foreign investor consortia.
According to the Vietnam Maritime and Inland Waterways Administration, Lien Chieu Port is envisioned to become an international gateway port, attracting major global shipping and logistics companies. Notably, in the future, the development of Lien Chieu Port will be linked to the Da Nang Free Trade Zone, creating favorable conditions for Da Nang to become a regional and international goods transshipment center, contributing to attracting significant investment capital to the city.
This is also why investment in Lien Chieu port facilities has attracted significant interest from renowned domestic and international investors in the fields of port operation, logistics, and maritime transport.
It is known that on June 26, 2025, the Ministry of Finance issued a document notifying the implementation of procedures for approving the investment policy and selecting investors for the overall construction project of Lien Chieu Container Port; and a document handing over the application dossier for approval of the investment policy (including the application dossier for approval of the investment policy proposed by the first, second, and third investors, and the project appraisal opinions of relevant agencies)... The city unanimously issued a decision approving the investment policy for the overall construction project of Lien Chieu Container Port through a bidding process to select investors.
The City People's Committee also clearly stipulates the responsibilities of the investor after selection, which is to implement the project in accordance with the law. At the same time, the investor is responsible for reviewing and completing the documentation in the feasibility study phase. In subsequent steps, based on the opinions of the Ministry of Construction and the Management Board of Priority Infrastructure Investment Projects of Da Nang City, a thorough review of all project cost items will be conducted.
Specifically, the organization, implementation, investment, construction, management, operation, and business of the project must comply with the regulations of the law on investment, construction, land, environment, and other relevant laws. It must ensure the synchronous connection of technical infrastructure systems within and outside the project area, in accordance with approved plans; and ensure sufficient equity capital is contributed to implement the project. A deposit or bank guarantee must be provided for the deposit obligation to implement the project as required...
