Located in the Lien Chieu port area, the project aims to develop infrastructure for LNG and LPG storage and supply for the region and the country, and support the growth of specialized logistics systems.
The project includes six berths. During the 2025-2030 period, one to two berths (piers) will be developed, with a length ranging from 250 to 750 meters, capable of accommodating vessels of up to 100,000 DWT (deadweight tonnage).
The accompanying infrastructure system includes storage tanks, tank farms, warehouses, and auxiliary facilities.
The project aligns with national plans on development of gasoline and gas storage and supply infrastructure, as well as the power development plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050.
The total planned area for the project is over 62 hectares, divided into two main functional zones: the southern terminal (2 LNG/LPG berths), covering more than 42 hectares; and the post-breakwater terminal (4 berths to be developed after 2030), covering over 19 hectares.
Danang authorities have also adjusted the previously approved investment list to include changes to the two initial berths of the VND45.26 trillion ($1.74 billion) Lien Chieu container port project.
This project, located in Hoa Hiep Bac ward, Lien Chieu district, is planned to consist of eight container berths, with 2 to 4 berths (corresponding to 2-4 piers) scheduled for construction during the 2025-2030 period, with a total berth length ranging from 750 to 1,650 meters.
These berths are designed to accommodate vessels with a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of up to 100,000 tons, or even larger ships if technical conditions allow, serving the needs of international container transshipment. The estimated cargo throughput capacity ranges from 14.25 million to 36.3 million tons per year.
The project also includes a rail yard, public parking areas, and a 1.5-kilometer railway line connecting to Lien Chieu Station.
