Cai Lan deepwater port
An international container shipping route from Cai Lan port in Quang Ninh province to China has been officially launched.
Cai Lan is the first deep-water port in northern Vietnam capable of accommodating freighters weighing up to 50,000 DWT.
The opening of the new route followed a period of test-runs, with the MSC’s 1,090 TEU vessel, the Wellington, being the first to arrive in November.
As well as the launch of the international container route, the Vietnam Maritime Administration, the Quang Ninh Port Company and the Waterway Project Construction Corporation inaugurated a new waterway approaching Cai Lan port.
The new waterway, 130 m in width and 10 m deep, is capable of handling ships weighing between 40,000 and 50,000 DWT.
