Mr. Thai added that the Cau Da tourist wharf will be planned by the Nha Trang City People's Committee in a zoning plan (scale 1/2,000) for the Nha Trang port area and surrounding areas in Vinh Nguyen and Vinh Truong wards to concretize the decision of the Ministry of Transport approving the detailed planning of the South Central Coast seaport group (group 4) for the period up to 2020, with a vision to 2030.
In particular, Nha Trang port will be built into a seaport exclusively for tourism, able to receive international passenger ships with a capacity of up to 225,000 GT.
