“If I get a special port, I will take action,” said Cong Thanh

That is the sure assertion of Nguyen Cong Ly, Chairman of Cong Thanh Group, when discussing with VietnamFinance about the management board of Nghi Son Economic Zone to withdraw the specialized port Cong Thanh and Cong Thanh Fertilizer Factory.

As does so?

Recently, the special port of Cong Thanh (about 400m long) was proposed to be withdrawn. Talking with VietnamFinance, Mr. Ha Tho Dat, Deputy Chief of Office of Nghi Son Economic Zone and Industrial Park said:

“The construction of Cong Thanh Special Terminal was approved in 2011 with an initial length of 500m. Then, in July 2013, the People’s Committee of Thanh Hoa province continues to have official document 5277 / UBND-THKH approved the policy of expanding the port by 400m. Thus, the total area of ​​Cong Thanh dedicated port is 900m in length. “

Infrastructure at Cong Thanh Port has been embankment, embellished beautiful and certainly withstand waves

According to Mr Ha Tho Dat, the management board of Nghi Son Economic Zone (EZA) asked to withdraw 400m of the port, as it is a further extension of the port of Cong Thanh to serve goods for the factory. Cong Thanh fertilizer.

“However, Cong Thanh Fertilizer Factory has been proposed to be withdrawn, so the port of Cong Thanh is not needed anymore. Therefore, in order to implement the fight against land wastage in the economic zone, we have requested the recovery of the section of Cong Thanh port. Therefore, on 23/12/2016, Nghi Son EZ Management Board has reported 2532 / TTr-BQLKKNS & KCN to Chairman of Thanh Hoa People’s Committee on this issue, “said Dat.

Based on that decision, on February 28, 1974, Vice Chairman of Thanh Hoa People’s Committee Le Thi Thin signed document 1946 / UBND-THKH terminating operation of Cong Thanh Fertilizer Factory and open Cong Thanh special port is invested by Cong Thanh Group.

Mr. Ha Tho Dat added: “After being recalled in February 2017, the Management Board of Nghi Son EZ and People’s Committee of Tinh Gia district have repeatedly requested to handle Cong Thanh Group because of illegal construction on the area. Land of specialized ports .The total amount of illegal construction is 48 million “

Are there really wasted land for economic zones?

Being present in the Nghi Son Economic Zone, VietnamFinance correspondent noted that there is considerable investment in Cong Thanh Port. A large harbor area has been permanently embankment and cement construction accounts for 70-80% of the area.

Basically, almost completing the ground to prepare two 800m-wide dedicated wharves facing the sea. Do Cong Thanh Group “do nothing” and are “wasting land” as the conclusion of the Management Board of Nghi Son EZ?

Also with the reason of recovering 400m of Cong Thanh Specialized Port for Cong Thanh Nitrogenous Fertilizer Plant, Cong Thanh Group does not need to use this part of the port.

Mr. Nguyen Cong Ly said: At present, I have two factories, Cong Thanh Cement and Cong Thanh Thermal Power, which are operating with the quantity of Clinker and coal imported to the ports in the Nghi Son area. Each year, the Group spends over VND200 billion to lease port areas in Nghi Son Economic Zone.

“So, the demand of the Group is real, so why narrow down our port?”, Said Ly said.

Regarding the waste of land or not, Mr. Li affirmed: Right after the provincial People’s Committee approved the policy, we urgently sent a report requesting the Ministry of Transport to soon approve the details of the port specialized. Bar.

From there, the basis for licensing planning procedures 1/500, other construction procedures. In the meantime, in order to keep the land and show our aspirations for investment, we have carried out ground leveling, embankment construction and embellishment. Formed on the beautiful port as today.

“The amount of money I invested in this port has reached VND1 trillion, more than that, I have to spend money to buy land for the people around the construction of the road into the port, as water. On the other hand, the management board of Nghi Son EZ has not yet cleared the ground. Currently, two households are still obstructing because the compensation is not satisfactory, so we can not have a clean site for the project, construction … So if the management of Nghi Son EZ said how to recover, I will initiate a lawsuit, “Mr. Li shared

Talking to VietnamFinance, Le Anh Son, deputy head of the Tinh Gia District’s construction rules inspection team, said: “The guide helps investors to carry out procedures and increase the feasibility of investment projects. The Nghi Son Economic Zone is the responsibility of the Management Board of the Economic Zone.

 “Here, the Nghi Son EZ Management Board needs to work more closely with investors to guide the procedure or remove difficulties for enterprises, before reporting to the People’s Committee of Thanh Hoa. As for the construction of the port, the construction of the port is still wrong, “Son said.

Regarding this issue, Mr. Nguyen Cong Ly said: “It is true that due to the administrative procedures still entangled, so the Cong Thanh Group poured concrete without a license is wrong. However, despite many requests for help, the management of Nghi Son EZ also does not guide the company to complete the procedures as prescribed.

“On the carpet, under the nail”?

Nguyen Ba Thuyen, a former member of the Lam Dong National Assembly, said: “For the case of recovery of Cong Thanh Specialized Port and Cong Thanh Fertilizer Plant, I think it is unreasonable.

Investors have paid much attention to the project, not “waste of land” as reported. Secondly, if compensation is paid to the investor, how to do? Therefore, the People’s Committee of Thanh Hoa province and the management board of Nghi Son economic zone should carefully consider this matter.

On the other hand, with the desire to become a major economic center in the North and North Central region, at the Investment Promotion Conference in Thanh Hoa in May 2017, Secretary Trinh Van Chien promised Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc will create the best environment to attract investment. But with the situation “on the carpet, under the nails” as today, that aspirations hard to achieve.
