The UK based P&O Ports, one of the biggest shipping companies in the world, has just received a license to enter into a JV partnership with Tan Thuan Industrial Promotion Co. (IPC), the investor of the Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park, to develop a container port in the park in Nha Be District, HCMC.
The nearly US$250-mil Saigon Premier Container Terminal (SPCT), some 10km from the city center, will build a 950-m-long quay and an adjoining 40ha site for a container yard, HCMC Service of Planning and Investment said yesterday.
The Dubai-based DP World acquired P&O Ports in March, and the group has now become the world's second largest port operating group, with operations in 51 countries.
The foreign partner holds an 80% stake in the SPCT JV while IPC retains 20%. This is the first seaport to be built using foreign investment in Hiep Phuoc.
Toa Corporation is awarded as the main contractor for constructing this big port.
