Chairman of the Quảng Ngãi Provincial People’s Committee Nguyễn Đức Tâm on November 7 led a delegation to inspect the progress of several projects and survey sites earmarked for future investment in the Dung Quất Economic Zone.
The delegation included Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Đỗ Tâm Hiển, representatives of provincial departments and agencies, local authorities and relevant businesses and investors.
The inspection covered Dung Quất Industrial Park, invested by Hoàng Thịnh Đạt Joint Stock Company; Thiên Đàng Ecotourism Area; Dung Quất Shipyard; Đại Việt – Dung Quất Cement Plant; and the VNT 19 Pulp and Paper Mill.
The delegation also surveyed proposed sites for oil refining and petrochemical projects, a national crude oil reserve depot and resettlement areas in Vạn Tường urban area.
At Dung Quất Industrial Park, which covers about 154.8 hectares with total investment of VNĐ960 billion (US$37.7 million), Chairman Tâm asked relevant departments, local authorities and the Provincial Land Development Centre to work closely with the investor to speed up compensation and site clearance, with land handover targeted for the second quarter of 2027.
The investor was also urged to complete project approval procedures and start construction in line with its commitments.
Regarding Thiên Đàng Ecotourism Area, the second phase remains behind schedule, while some existing facilities have deteriorated due to natural disasters.
The Chairman assigned relevant agencies to work with the investor to address outstanding issues and develop a feasible implementation plan.
The delegation also reviewed plans to develop resettlement areas in Vạn Tường to provide land for households affected by projects in the Dung Quất Economic Zone.
The first phase is planned to cover about 44.56 hectares, with an estimated investment of VNĐ650 billion.
The second phase, combining a resettlement area with an embankment and boat anchorage, is expected to cover about 100 hectares, with estimated investment of VNĐ1.785 trillion.
The Chairman agreed with a proposal to assign the Department of Construction to study and prepare detailed plans for the proposed resettlement sites.
For the proposed national crude oil reserve depot, two potential sites of around 70 hectares and 130 hectares have been identified for Vietnam National Industry – Energy Group (Petrovietnam) to study and consider investment.
Meanwhile, a site of approximately 589 hectares in the eastern part of the Dung Quất Economic Zone is being studied for oil refining, petrochemical and downstream petrochemical projects, with a view to tapping the zone’s industrial potential and creating new drivers for economic growth.
The inspection aimed to review project implementation, address obstacles and make more effective use of land and investment resources in the Dung Quất Economic Zone.
