In December, approximately 20 shipments of iron ore from Canh Quang Gia Lai Company were transported from Attapeu (Laos) to Chu Lai Port via the Bo Y border gate in Kon Tum.

To enhance service quality and capacity, the port is accelerating the completion of the 50,000-ton terminal with STS and RTG crane systems, expanding storage facilities to meet storage needs, and investing in modern equipment, paving the way to become an international cargo transshipment gateway and contribute to the socio-economic development of the local and neighboring areas.
