PPP project Vietnam’s Transport Infrastructure Plan: 3 Proposals for Implementation July 16, 2021

Anyone following the details around the PPP programs knows what it means for PHIL Group long term. Henry is involved in bids for some of these projects. His name is at the front of the list with an open letter from the Prime Minister of Vietnam indicating they are inviting PHIL to projects long term. This was due to the Luxembourg Fund activation and the Asia Diamond Exchange.

There are 24 companies currently involved in the air port alone. PHI Vietnam Investment & Development Co., Ltd has been named in some items found related to the airport. Henry has mention many times there would be roads, ports and housing projects also.

Not sure what all will be disclosed over time on the CC's. Here is a recent article posted referencing the project layout, cost and scope of project. The one we are most interested in is the air port and development around the air port.

Vietnam’s transport ministry announced a transport infrastructure plan between April 2021 and 2030, estimated to cost between US$43 billion and US$65 billion.

An industrial research institute under the Ministry of Transport has developed three proposed options for implementation.

The enactment of the new PPP law implemented in January 2021 is expected to play a key role in the completion of these infrastructure projects.

Vietnam’s transport ministry announced its transport infrastructure master plan between April 2021 and 2030, which is estimated to cost between US$43 billion and US$65 billion.

Under the master plan, Vietnam will build thousands of kilometers of new expressways, high-speed rail routes, deepwater ports, and new international airports. The government hopes Vietnam can achieve a cargo transportation capacity of 4.4 billion tons per year, and a road transport capacity capable to move 2.76 tons of cargo and 9.43 million passengers per year.

Vietnam is playing catch-up to supply adequate infrastructure to keep the economy growing quickly. Vietnam’s economy is structured around investments, manufacturing, and exports, whereby investments flow into specific areas with particular endowments such as a large supply of competitive labor, following which value-added products are manufactured or processed before being exported. This is a similar development model that propelled Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea into high-income nations.

Moreover, an important contributor to the success of those three countries was their ability to transport infrastructure that could handle increasing trade volumes. As Vietnam looks to increase its manufacturing capacity, it is crucial that its roads, airports, seaports, and rail connections can facilitate this increase.

Three proposals for the implementation of the master plan

The Development and Strategy Institute — an industrial research institute under the Ministry of Transport — has developed three proposed options for the implantation of the master plan.

First proposal

Under the first proposal, estimated to cost between (US$39 billion and US$43 billion, roughly one percent of GDP), the government will construct a total of 5,000km of expressways, along with the completion of the Long Thanh International Airport, located in Dong Nai province. Once completed, this will be the biggest in Vietnam and could serve 100 million passengers annually. It will eventually replace the heavily congested Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

The first proposal also involves the completion of the Lach Huyen Port, a deep-water port in the city of Hai Phong. The port is one of the first public-private partnership (PPP) projects between Vietnam and Japan and will accommodate container ships between 4,000 20 feet equivalent (TEU) and 6,000 TEU, and the potential for 8,000 TEU.

Lastly, the first proposal includes the construction of two high-speed railways between Hanoi and Vinh, and Ho Chi Minh City, and Nha Trang.

Second proposal

The second proposal will cost between US$43.3 to US$53.3 billion to implement and will also involve the construction of 5,000 km of expressways in Vietnam, completion of the two high-speed railways, in addition to completing two railway sections that link to the Lach Huyen Port, and to the Cai Mep container terminal.

The second proposal will also see the completion of Hanoi’s Noi Bai airport, the expansion of Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat airport, and the completion of the second phase of the Long Thanh airport. Other airports destined for expansion include the Dien Bien airport serving Dien Bien city and Con Dao airport, which serves the tourist island of Con Dao.

In addition to airport expansion, the second proposal focuses on dredging waterways between Hai Phong City and Phu Tho province and upgrading the Cho Gao Canal that links Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta.

Third proposal

The third proposal is expected to cost the most, estimated at between US$60 billion and US$65 billion. The proposal features many of the projects in the first proposal with additional railway lines in different parts across Vietnam.

New PPP law to set the framework for these transportation projects

The enactment of Vietnam’s new public-private partnership (PPP) law, which took effect in January 2021, will be at the center of the success of these complex projects.

Under the new PPP framework, investors engaged in the transportation, healthcare, education, transmission grid, and water sectors can receive benefits ranging from a reduction in corporate income tax, credit support, and a reduction in land lease fees, among others.

To qualify, the project’s value must be at least VND 200 billion (US$6.2 million), except for education and healthcare projects where the value is half this amount. The equity capital contribution of private investors must be at least 15 percent of the total investment capital.

The new PPP law also implements a revenue-sharing scheme. If the PPP project revenue is greater than 125 percent of the revenue forecasted in the project’s financial model, the state will receive 50 percent of the revenue in excess of the 125 percent threshold. If, however, revenues are less than 75 percent of the forecasted revenue, the state will share 50 percent of the downside below the 75 percent threshold.

The government will provide investors with a guarantee of the availability of foreign currency to fulfill their needs in respect to the project for activities such as the transfer of profits and capital transactions. Under the new PPP law, such guarantees are limited to 30 percent (previously 100 percent) of the projected revenue after project expenses.

Further, investors committed to using domestic content, contractors, materials, and goods will also be eligible for preferential treatment during the tender process.
