The Son Tra
Peninsula
The site is at the entrance to Da Nang Bay. It could provide a sheltered starting point for coastal cruising, subject to final design, operating plans, and weather conditions.
Sheltered site
The peninsula may reduce exposure to open-sea conditions; site and engineering studies should confirm this.
Water depth
Project materials describe a deep approach channel. Final draft limits and any dredging requirement need confirmation.
Seasonal conditions
Wind and weather data will shape the cruising calendar and operating plan.
Construction Schedule
The current schedule runs from approvals and site preparation through construction, systems testing, and launch.
Phase 1: Inception
Project approval, licensing, and initial environmental impact assessment (EIA) clearance.
Phase 2: Preparation
Site categorization, hydrographic surveys, and finalization of engineering designs.
Phase 3: Marine Works
Dredging operations to 6m depth, breakwater reinforcement, and installing floating pontoon systems.
Phase 4: Terminal Construction
Construction of the main terminal building, VIP lounges, and high-security access control systems.
Phase 5: Systems & Commissioning
Installation of smart grid power, waste management systems, and full operational testing.
Target opening
Target opening for the Son Tra marina project.

Area Allocation
The operating case
A marina earns from berth fees and related services. Any broader investment case depends on utilization, operating costs, service mix, and rights to adjacent development.
Operating costs
Crew and technical costs need to be competitive with regional peers. That requires a local operating team, procurement discipline, and a clear maintenance plan.
- Crew and technical cost control
- Maintenance and OpEx reporting
Customer base
The project needs repeat demand from owners, charter operators, and visiting vessels. Distribution agreements and customer data matter more than a claim of early market entry.
- Berth and charter relationships
- Owner and crew services
Adjacent uses
Integrated platformA marina can support dining, hospitality, events, and waterfront development, but those benefits only accrue to the project if agreements capture them.
- Uses tied to the marina
- Operator and tenant agreements
What must be solved
Marina projects face site, regulatory, technical, and tax constraints. Compliance and operating capability are part of the work required to compete.
Potential advantages
The EVFTA may affect costs for qualifying EU-built vessels, but the impact depends on origin rules, customs treatment, and the final procurement plan.
