The HCMC government has proposed developing an international container port in the outlying district of Can Gio with an estimated investment of some US$6 billion to aid the local marine economy.
In a proposal sent to the prime minister, the city stated that the port would have triple the capacity of the Cat Lai Port, the country’s current biggest. The port project with 7.2 kilometers of wharves is expected to receive 24,000-TEU containers, the largest available containers.
