Under the plan, Can Gio International Transshipment Port would serve 250,000 deadweight tonnage ships, the largest international-size container vessels. 

The project, invested by MSC, the world leader in global container shipping, would be divided into seven phases.

The port will be built on Con Cho Islet in Thanh An Commune, Ho Chi Minh City’s Can Gio District, covering a total area of 571 ha. It will include wharves, warehouses, office areas and other facilities.

Situated at the mouth of the Cai Mep - Thi Vai River, the port is close to international shipping routes passing through the East Sea, between Asian regions with great growth potential, favourable for developing international transhipment ports.

The port is designed to have an annual capacity of 4.8 million TEUs by 2030 and 16.9 million TEUs by 2047.

Once operated in 2047, the port is expected to contribute VND34,000-40,000 trillion to the state budget annually. It would also employ 6,000-8,000 staff.
