VietNamNet Bridge – Being built at the cost of millions of US dollars, the Phu Huu international port in District 9, Ho Chi Minh City is no different from a fallow ground in the countryside.

Located around tens of kilometers from the center of Ho Chi Minh City, the first phase of construction of Phu Huu port has been completed and it is recognized by the Ministry of Transportation as an international port.

However, this port has not worked in the last two years because there is no road leading to the port. Meanwhile, more than VND327 billion ($16.3 million) was invested in this project.

Phu Huu Port is developed by the Ben Nghe Port Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Sai Gon Transportation Mechanical Corporation. The construction began in 2007 on an area of 24 hectares. The port is built after other ports in the region were displaced by the policy of the Prime Minister.

VietNamNet reports the current situation at the Phu Huu Port:

The road leading to the international port is very small and muddy.

 

 

A guardroom.

 

The fence.

 

An incomplete road.

 

Since early 2012, only four ships have docked here.

 

The pier becomes a fishing site.

 

 

More than VND327 billion has poured into the port.

 

The road to connect Phu Huu port and the Ha Tien cement plant to Nguyen Duy Trinh road is built in the form of BOT (built-operate-trasfer) with a budget of about VND300 billion ($15 million) is still under construction.
