Ocean Mineral Investment Holding Company has asked the transport ministry to allow it to buy shares owned by Viet Nam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) at Da Nang Sea Port JSC.
Japanese businesses are interested in investing in key seaports in major
cities of Viet Nam such as northern Hai Phong, central Da Nang and HCM
City, said a Japanese official.
Seven deep-water seaports have been built by the Cai
Mep – Thi Vai Port Group in the southern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau
in the past few years at a total cost of VND40 trillion (nearly US$1.8
billion).
The Ministry of Transport has asked the Prime Minister to allow Vietnam
National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) to reduce State ownership of its
registered capital to attract more investors.
