Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has rejected
Vietnam National Shipping Lines’ Mekong Delta ship-repair factory project due
to environmental concerns, according to a source at Hau Giang Industrial Parks
Management Authority.
The
project, initially developed by Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group (Vinashin),
is part of an $89 million shipbuilding industrial complex in in Song Hau
Industrial Park 1, Hau Giang province.
Vinashin
planned to develop this $58 million shipyard in a 60 hectare site to build
vessels up to 30,000 dead weight tonnages and its capacity would be further
expanded to 70,000dwt vessels. However, after taking over this project from
Vinashin, which almost collapsed in 2010, Vinalines proposed to change the planned
shipyard into a ship-repair project.
The
source said Vinalines had proposed to develop a seaport and logistic service
area instead of the ship-repair factory, with an investment report to be
submitted to Hau Giang People’s Committee this month.
As
VIR reported three weeks ago, a $314 million ship-repair project of Vinalines
also faces head winds in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province. The project, licenced in
July 19, 2011 and to be capable to repair ships of up to 100,000 dwt, has not
yet received a cleared site from the local authorities.
