The 153-hectare logistics area at Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park (IP) would handle cargo from ships with a loading capacity of more than 30,000 DWT, which enter Hiep Phuoc port through the Soai Rap River, said Doan Hong Tam, general director of Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park Joint Stock Company (HIPC), a unit of IPC. The Soai Rap River is being dredged under a project set for completion in the middle of next year.
As earlier approved, the logistics area would be developed in the third phase of Hiep Phuoc IP on a total area of nearly 400 hectares, Tam said. However, the city’s government recently asked IPC to rapidly develop the facility first on 153 hectares of over 600 hectares of Hiep Phuoc IP’s second phase to serve huge vessels coming to Hiep Phuoc port.
The facility’s infrastructure would be constructed in parallel with the construction of infrastructure in Hiep Phuoc IP’s second phase for completion at the end of next year before being improved in the following seven years, Tam said. Still, he declined to elaborate on the investment cost of the project which is being weighed by the local government.
The second phase of Hiep Phuoc IP would attract manufacturing and seaport services industries using high and environmentally friendly technologies. It will also target producers of high-class building materials, precision engineering, machinery, electronic devices, and those serving sea vessels and providing warehousing services among others.
According to Tam, HIPC is preparing infrastructure to woo small Japanese investors in the precision engineering sector to Hiep Phuoc IP in the second phase. The first phase of the park, covering about 310 hectares, has attracted a total of 98 companies that employ nearly 9,000 workers.
