Danish shipping giant Maersk plans to help turn Da Nang into a major logistics hub in Southeast Asia.
The company is involved in building a new container port called Lien Chieu, which is expected to be ready to receive ships within about 30 months, according to VnEconomy.
Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc said the goal is not just to build a port, but a full logistics system with modern technology and environmentally friendly solutions.
The project is also linked to plans for a free trade zone, which could make it easier for companies to produce and export goods from the area.
Local authorities say the new port could play a key role in boosting Vietnam’s economy and help connect Vietnamese products to global markets faster.
