Hue Seaport Development Plan (2021–2030) with Vision to 2050
Hue is positioning itself as a strategic gateway for maritime logistics in Central Vietnam. A detailed development plan for the Hue seaport area, spanning land and water infrastructure, has been set out for the 2021–2030 period, with a long-term vision to 2050. This plan sets the stage for modern seaport operations, sustainable growth, and stronger international connectivity.
The development focuses on three main seaport zones:
Chan May Port
Thuan An Port
Phong Dien Area
These zones will be enhanced to serve cargo handling, passenger transportation, and provide anchorage for ships during storms. The plan targets:
13.6 to 20.3 million tons of cargo per year
276,000 to 285,000 passengers annually
19 to 25 berths, totaling up to 6,125 meters in length
The project also includes cargo yards, maritime service areas, and multimodal logistics support zones.
To ensure smooth implementation, authorities will:
Announce and enforce planning regulations across all related departments
Review and approve infrastructure projects, including new wharves and service roads
Monitor construction and investment timelines
Recommend improvements to port-related legislation and procedures
Guide provincial coordination for port-linked land use and zoning
Hue’s local authorities play a key role in:
Aligning the port plan with urban and provincial development strategies
Securing land for access roads, logistics services, and port expansion
Managing environmental protection and public safety in surrounding areas
Overseeing the relocation of outdated facilities and optimizing port land use
Coordinating road, rail, and inland waterway connections to enhance cargo flow
Dedicated dredging areas and disposal zones will be planned to support maritime access while ensuring minimal environmental disruption. Storm-shelter zones for vessels will be established to improve safety during typhoon seasons, helping protect infrastructure and reduce delays in maritime traffic.
The future vision for Hue Seaport includes:
Expanding cargo handling capacity through modernized facilities
Integrating with national and international transport networks
Promoting green port technologies to support sustainable development
Encouraging private investment under a clear legal and regulatory framework
Strengthening resilience to climate change and natural disasters
This development plan is expected to:
Boost Hue’s role as a logistics and trade hub in Central Vietnam
Attract investment into port infrastructure and supporting industries
Improve regional supply chain connectivity, especially with Laos and Thailand
Reduce logistics costs for local exporters
Support tourism by upgrading passenger terminals and cruise ship capacity
The Hue seaport development plan is not just about port expansion—it’s a comprehensive blueprint for transforming the region’s logistics ecosystem. With a focus on integration, sustainability, and long-term growth, Hue is on track to become a key node in Vietnam’s maritime future.
