It is a new development in export-import activities via sea route of the Vinh Tan port one month after receiving a certificate recognizing it as a location for shipping inspection and monitoring.
The Belize vessel, with a dead weight tonnage of more than 9,000 tons, carried machinery for the expansion of the Vinh Tan 4 thermal power plant.
The welcome of an international ship at the port has opened up opportunities for the transport of large cargo in service of industrial and energy projects in Vietnam’s southern and Central Highland regions, thereby reducing time and costs for those projects./.
