The planned deep-water port in central Quang Tri Province, approved by the Government last year, will bring new economic opportunities to Viet Nam’s central region as well as Laos and Thailand. A recent survey revealed that the construction of a deep water port in My Thuy Commune, Hai Lang District, will bring up to 10 million tonnes of cargo a year through Quang Tri, its surrounding areas, Laos and northeast Thailand – boosting the sea transport sector and opening a trade gateway between central Viet Nam and the neighboring countries to the East Sea.
