Ca Mau to build tourist, cargo port at 1954 regroupment site
Ca Mau, Vietnam's southernmost province, has approved an investment project to build a tourist and cargo port at the monument honoring the 1954 voyage relocating southern cadres to the North.
Ca Mau Province, Vietnam's southernmost region, has greenlit a project to construct a dual-purpose tourist and cargo port at the site of a 1954 historical monument. The provincial Department of Finance announced on August 8 that the People's Committee had approved the investment strategy, with the selection of the investor to be conducted through a bidding process.
The 1.8-hectare project will comprise a passenger vessel berth capable of accommodating up to 100 guests, a berth for vessels of up to 1,000 tons navigating inland waterways, and a commercial and service zone. With an estimated total investment surpassing VND25 billion (approximately US$950,000), the project is slated for completion by the close of 2028.
The monument, inaugurated in November 2024 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1954 migration of cadres from the South to the North, takes the form of a ship, measuring 22 meters in length and 7 meters in width, with a bow height of 7.2 meters. The monument's construction cost amounted to VND195 billion (US$7.4 million).
