THE ROLE AND ADVANTAGES OF TRA VINH PROVINCE IN SEAPORT DEVELOPMENT

The issue of developing a large seaport as a hub of goods import and export for the Mekong Delta has been posed for decades. It is not only the direction of theGovernment, but also the expectation of localities in the Southwest region which has the largest agricultural and aquacultural production for export in the nation. So far, the largest project for seaport infrastructure and navigation channel in the Mekong Delta is the Duyen Hai Power Center seaport project which can accommodate vessels of 30,000 DWT and channel for large tonnage vessels of 10,000 DWT full load to enter Hau River and 20,000 DWT offloading in Tra Vinh Province. Duyen Hai seaport (Tra Vinh) has been studied for more than 15 years, being the only area in the Mekong Delta with sufficient maritime infrastructure such as breakwaters, ports and channels for ships of up to 30,000 DWT, etc. This paper focuses on introducing the role and advantages of Tra Vinh Province in seaport development.

Proposed Regulation

Dinh An Estuary is one of Bassac River’s estuaries as a part of the Mekong delta. The navigation channel entrance, however, has a limited nautical depth due to the presence of a highly dynamic offshore bar at the estuary. Ship’s size sailing on the Bassac River is therefore limited to 5,000 DWT in optimal conditions. It needs to dredge twice a year and a lot of money paid for keeping the channel. Sometimes, the channel was deposited intermediately after dredging. In this paper, according to the specific morphodynamic conditions at the estuary, the advantages and drawbacks for the proposed regulation schemes are established. Four regulation schemes are numerically investigated and analyzed with respect to the behavior of each scheme to improve the water depth in the navigation channel.

Southwest Region

Trà Vinh is the coastal province located in the Southeast of the Mekong Delta. Although the size of economy and level of urbanization are still limited, Tra VinhProvince has achived recently a relatively good growth rate (a province among leading group in the economic growth of the Mekong Delta in 2018). The objective of the study is to analyse and clarify the potential strengths of Tra Vinh Province from the logistics and supply chain management perspectives, thereby prosposing the development of Tra Vinh Province as an economic and logistics hub of the Mekong Delta. The study will take an approach from consideration of the potential strengths of Tra Vinh Province in relation to regional development and in the linkage between the Mekong Delta to the Southwest region and Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, logistics and supply chain management of Tra Vinh Province will be analyzed systematically comprising basic components such as logistics institutional framework, logistics infrastructure, logistics service providers, and human resource.
