Background

The port is owned and operated by CamphaPort and Logistics Company, a subsidiary of Vinacomin, the government owned company which mines coal and other minerals.[1]

Coal

Cam Pha Port is in Quang Ninh, the number one center of Vietnam in terms of coal reserves. Vietnamese mining company Vinacomin plans to store and transport nearly 30 million tonnes of coal at the Cam Pha Port in 2015 (4 million tonnes over 2014), with 22 million tonnes for the domestic market and 1 million tonnes for export.[2]

Vietnam's coal exports has reduced from 24.8 million tonnes in 2007 to 14 million tonnes in 2013. By 2015, the export plan of Vinacomin is reduced to 9 million tonnes. The high quality coal is exported to the EU, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and India, while medium-quality dust coal is mainly exported to China.[3]
