July’s figure raised the total volume of containers processed over the past seven months to 127,700 TEUs, up nearly 44% from last year.
The port has set a target to handle 220,000 TEUs by the year’s end. This target is feasible given the recent heavy investments in building infrastructure, modernizing equipment, training human resources and improving services.
Under the seaport development plan until 2020, Da Nang port will build a new wharf designed for handling container vessels of 3,000-5,000 TEUs.
The port is part of the logistics supply chain in the Central-Central Highlands region.
