The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has just proposed investment in two more passenger ports on the Nha Be and Saigon rivers.
According to the department, the two projects aim to develop waterway transport and tourism in the city.
"The international VND842 billion (USD36.65 million) port on the Nha Be River in District 7 would be built on an area of two hectares inside the Mui Den Do Park," the proposal said. "It could receive ships of up to 100,000 GT and will be invested in by Saigon Peninsula Joint Stock Company."
The second port will be built inside the Nha Rong-Khanh Complex in District 4. The port will be invested by Ngoc Vien Dong Urban Development Investment Co., Ltd. This port lies in the city centre and is a historic location.
Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport have suggested the municipal people’s committee convey the proposal on the two projects to the prime minister.
