The US’s Royal Caribbean International Group and Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on upgrading infrastructure of Chan May Port in the central province of ThuaThien-Hue.

Accordingly, the group will invest USD5 million to upgrade the infrastructure system of the port, enabling it to receive ships with a length of over 360 meters and capacity of 4,000-5,000 passengers.

Mr. PhanTien Dung, Director of the ThuaThien – Hue Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that the province is working hard to welcome about 70,000 tourist arrivals by sea in 2015.

“Chan May Port is a very important part to bring international tourists to Thua Thien-Hue. The Celebrity Royal firm pledged to bring about 25,000-30,000 tourists to the central province in 2015,” he added./.
