The northern port city of Hai Phong held a ground-breaking ceremony for its VND2.5 trillion Nam Dinh Vu non-tariff and industrial zone on May 13.
The project will cover a site of more than 1,300ha, divided into three areas including a non-tariff zone, a seaport and an industrial zone.
The non tariff-zone industrial zone will include supermarkets, duty free shops, bonded warehouses and areas for production, processing, recycling, a container depot and temporary import and re-export area.
It is expected to attract investors involved in green and environmentally friendly technology projects.
Its seaport will have 10 quays for container ships and a petrol and gas terminal capable of handling nearly 20 million tonnes a year.
