DECIDES:

Article 1.- To approve the adjustments and supplements to the Thi Vai-Vung Tau port system planning (already ratified by Decision No.55-TTg of November 5, 1992 of the Prime Minister) with the following principal contents:

1. The location planning of port areas:

The Thi Vai-Vung Tau port system is planned into 5 areas with the following scales and functions:

b) Phuoc An port area (on the right bank of Thi Vai river): for multi-purpose commercial ports and container ports for ships with a tonnage of up to 30,000 DWT.

c) Phu My port area (from Muong canal to upstream area of Ban Thach canal): for multi-purpose commercial ports and specialized ports for ships with a tonnage of up to 30,000 DWT.

In this area, Thi Vai multi-purpose port of 2,000 m long is planned into a national port and managed by the Ministry of Communication and Transport, which shall prepare the investment therein.

- Upstream area of Nga Tu canal: for food ports, oil product ports, multi-purpose commercial ports and container ports.

- Downstream area of Nga Tu canal (which is about 2,000 m long): shall be the only area of the Thi Vai - Vung Tau port system capable of harboring ships of large tonnage (of from 60,000 to 70,000 DWT), where priority shall be given to the building of a large-scale commercial port for large ships, including container ships of modern generation and with a large tonnage (of up to 60,000 DWT).

2. Issues related to the planning and investment management

The Thi Vai - Vung Tau area is an area endowed with particular advantages for building and developing a sea-port system (especially deep-water ports for ships of large tonnage), that requires the strict management of the planning and investment execution. The ports must be built in a rational manner in terms of tonnage and capacity so as to make the fullest use of existing natural potentials as well as water depth and river bank.

The fund of land along the river banks within an area of 300-500 meters wide from the river edge backward shall be used with priority given to the building of ports, first of all a multi-purpose commercial port with a large quantity of goods flow, a container port with a high loading-unloading technology, then a specialized port.

In parallel with the building of ports, it is necessary to develop infrastructure systems including land roads, railways, water supply and drainage, electricity supply, information and communications..., so as to meet the needs of the port system's operation and conform to the socio-economic development plans, urban development plans and communication plans of the Southern key economic region and of the locality.

Apart from the source of State budget capital, the locality and domestic units shall be entitled to invest their own capital or enter into joint ventures with foreign countries to carry out the construction investment under the planning and in accordance with the current regulations. The projects using domestic capital sources and mobilizing idle capital from the people shall be specially encouraged.

3. Organization of implementation

The Ministry of Communications and Transport shall enhance and raise the efficiency of the operation of the Management Board of the Thi Vai - Vung Tau port system planning established by decision of the Minister of Communication and Transport, and at the same time assume the prime responsibility and coordinate with the People's Committees of Dong Nai and Ba Ria-Vung Tau provinces and the concerned agencies in managing and supervising the implementation of this planning in accordance with the current regulations.

Article 2.- This Decision takes effect 15 days after its signing. The stipulations of Decision No.55-TTg of November 5, 1992 of the Prime Minister which are contrary to this Decision are now annulled.

Article 3.- The concerned ministers, the heads of the ministerial-level agencies, the heads of the agencies attached to the Government, and the presidents of the People's Committees of Ba Ria - Vung Tau and Dong Nai provinces shall have to implement this Decision.
