The Ministry of Transport has issued a decision to open the Sao Vang-Dai Nguyet petroleum port offshore the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
The port is designed to handle tankers and petroleum service ships as well as drilling rigs with a capacity of up to 150,000 DTW.
In normal weather conditions, the port will have its pilotage areas spanning a circle with a radius of one nautical mile.
The Ministry of Transport has asked the investor of the project to ensure maritime safety and security as well as apply measures to prevent environmental pollution during the operations of the port, while collecting fees in line with regulations. — VNS
