Vietnam seaports' potential cramped by underdeveloped infrastructure
Several world-class seaports will be put into operation in the next several years but cranes and wharfs are not enough.

    Vietnam's coast extends for 3260 kilometers. Vietnam's sea area is three times our land area. Half of our population lives near the coast. The world’s busiest sea route passes through our seas. With these advantages, it's ironic that Vietnam has never been considered a seafaring nation. How can the country accomplish that, and even more, become a sea power?"
