Nam Du Island, located in Kien Giang Province, is only 60 km far from Kien Luong Power Complex (KLPC) and has favorable natural conditions for deep seaport construction. These factors make it an ideal location for a coal seaport serving KLPC and other power plants in Mekong Delta Area. Nam Du Deep Water Seaport Project with the estimated investment of 800 million USD is divided into two phases: Phase 1 (2010-2013) with the throughput capacity of 12MT (coal) and 5MT (other cargoes), receiving ships of up to 80,000DWT; Phase 2 (2014-2020) with the throughput capacity of 50MT (coal) and 12MT (other cargoes), receiving ships of up to 150,000-200,000DWT. Nam Du Deep Water Seaport will make a major contribution to the development of the whole Mekong Delta Area by supporting the export of rice, seafood and aquaculture products and the import of coal, raw materials, equipment, fertilizer, etc., reducing transport cost and product price as well as motivating competitiveness. In long term, Nam Du Deep Water Seaport will be the future gateway to ASEAN countries of Vietnam, supporting the development and integration of ASEAN countries as well.
