Quang Ninh targets 2026 start for Monbay Van Don project

Authorities in Quang Ninh are working to finalize procedures to begin construction on the Monbay Van Don project by 2026. Significant progress has been made, including the complete clearance of 296.72 hectares of land, approval of environmental impact assessments, and the completion of forest land use conversion.

Despite these advancements, certain key tasks are facing delays, such as land allocation, leasing procedures, and the approval of feasibility studies. Officials noted that these delays are largely due to the capacity and personnel of the investor and consulting units. To address this, Hai Dang Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd. is required to complete cadastral map extracts and submit land allocation and lease applications for approximately 276 hectares by October 20, 2026.

Securing construction materials is also a priority. The project requires approximately 4.5 million cubic meters of filling material, with primary sources identified in Khe Ngai and Thon 10/10. The investor must also submit applications for sand mine permits in Dam Ha before October 15, 2026.
