VOV.VN - The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has proposed teaming up with the Vietnam Maritime Corporation (VIMC) to invest in an international super-container trans-shipment port in Can Gio district of Ho Chi Minh City.
The total investment of the project is estimated at VND135 billion, equivalent to roughly US$5.9 billion. Moving forward to 2025, the site is anticipated to have completed the initial phase after receiving a total investment of approximately US$660 million.
The project will feature a main wharf stretching 6.8 km, which is capable of berthing ships of 250,000 DWT, and handling 15 million TEUs.
In recent times VIMC has co-operated alongside MSC, the second-largest container shipping company in the world, to develop and exploit seaport infrastructure in Vietnam.
MSC is operating a fleet of some 625 vessels and boasting 60 seaports around the world. It can handle more than 30 million TEUs per year via its subsidiary company Terminal Investment Limited - TIL.
