Nghi Son Port
The mud is the result of dredging activities at Nghi Son Port.
Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical Limited Liability Company were twice previously turned down when proposing mud-dumping due to environmental concerns. The proposals included dumping seven million cubic metres in November last year and 1.8 million cubic metres in May this year. Since 2016, local authorities have allowed different units to dump around 5 million cubic metres of mud into the sea.
