The government official was informed of the port’s positive results over the past year and in early 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
The port handled over 100,000 tonnes of cargo in the first month of 2021. During the Tet holiday, workers at the port have ensured smooth operation, meeting the demands of customers.
Long An International Port signed a strategic cooperation agreement with ports in the Mekong Delta region in 2020 to help export businesses reduce their costs and improve the competitiveness of their products.
The port also signed strategic cooperation agreements with investors to implement wind power projects in Vietnam, opening up long-term development for the port and promoting industrialisation in the Mekong Delta region.
Two more wharves at the port are being built and are expected to reach completion in 2023 when they will be able to receive vessels up to 100,000 DWT.
