Recently, a working delegation from the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People’s Committee of Vĩnh Long held a meeting with Ham Giang Construction Co., Ltd. to review the progress of the Định An Comprehensive Port Area project and other investment proposals the company has put forward for the province.
At the meeting, business magnate Mr. Trầm Bê returned to the business arena publicly for the first time in more than three years since his release from prison. In his capacity as an investor, Mr. Trầm Bê is working with local authorities to implement a series of projects with total capital in the thousands of billion VND.
According to the company’s report, Ham Giang Construction Co., Ltd. is implementing four projects in Vĩnh Long with a combined land area of over 468 hectares and total investment of nearly 6,000 billion VND. The projects include: the Định An Comprehensive Port Area; the Trà Cú – Trà Vinh Port construction project; infrastructure development for a residential and seafood service area; and an industrial park within Trà Cú Port.
The Định An Comprehensive Port Area project has total investment of 4,804 billion VND and covers more than 125 hectares. It includes three berths capable of handling ships up to 50,000 DWT, with cargo handling capacity of 4 million tons per year and fuel capacity of 100,000–110,000 m³ per year.
Implemented since 2017, Berth No. 1 has reached about 62% of the volume. The first three segments are complete, while the remaining parts are still under construction. Berths 2 and 3, the fuel depot, and dredging in front of the berth have not yet been implemented.
For the Trà Cú – Trà Vinh Port project (Hàm Giang commune; capital 917.6 billion VND), the company is still completing building permits and has not started construction.
For the residential and seafood service complex in Đại An commune (nearly 200 billion VND), although it was expected to be completed in 2008, it has not been implemented.
For the industrial park within Trà Cú Port, the company has compensated about 180/200 hectares and is continuing to finalize the legal framework.
The Provincial Party Secretary urged the company and relevant agencies to strengthen coordination, proactively carry out assigned tasks, and shorten implementation timelines. For the Định An Port Area project, the stated aim is to complete and put it into operation in 2027.
Regarding the residential and port-linked service-industrial cluster, the Provincial Party Secretary said there is significant potential given the port–industrial zone–logistics chain. However, the company needs to determine feasibility early; if it continues the project, it must commit to a specific timeline and comply with legal regulations.
Ham Giang Construction Co., Ltd. was established in 2002 in the former Tra Vinh province. The company is led by Mr. Nguyễn Tấn Sự as Chairman of the Board and General Director, and as the legal representative.
Prior to March 2015, the company’s charter capital was 500 billion VND, contributed by three Tra Vinh individuals: Mr. Nguyễn Tấn Sự (54%), Mr. Sơn Ngọc Minh (36%), and Ms. Thạch Nhã (10%).
By March 2015, the company had five Tra Vinh contributors: Mr. Nguyễn Tấn Sự (60%), Mr. Sơn Ngọc Minh (10%), Mr. Võ Điền An (10%), Mr. Trần Ngọc Thơ (10%), and Mr. Liêng Thành Liêm (10%).
The company later increased capital several times and changed members. The latest update in February 2026 shows CTCP Khải Thịnh Trà Vinh contributing 50%, Mr. Sự 30%, Mr. Liêm 10%, and Mr. Tạ Trầm Khải Minh 10%.
CTCP Khải Thịnh Trà Vinh was initially established in 2018 in Tra Vinh as a limited liability company, with main activities in domestic aquaculture. Its initial charter capital was 5 billion VND, contributed 80% by Mr. Nguyễn Vĩnh Bình and 20% by Mr. Lý Văn Thức. In late 2018, it converted to a joint-stock company with three founding shareholders: Mr. Nguyễn Hữu Trường, Lý Văn Thức, and Nguyễn Vĩnh Bình. The latest update in October 2025 indicates charter capital of 500 billion VND, with only Mr. Trường holding 10% of the capital; the legal representative is Mr. Bùi Tấn Định (Director).
In 2021, the bank announced auctions of the debt of Ham Giang Construction Co., Ltd. and Ms. Liêng Thị Thanh, arising from credit contracts signed in 2010 and 2013, with a starting price of 772 billion VND.
Total debt obligation as of 27/04/2021 was nearly 1,388 billion VND, including principal debt of 565 billion VND and accrued interest of 823 billion VND.
The collateral includes rights to assets arising from all costs related to compensation, site clearance, land filling, and other costs to form an area of more than 155.1 hectares at the Trà Cú – Trà Vinh port project (Hàm Giang, later Hàm Tân, Trà Cú district, old Tra Vinh province) owned by the company. It also includes receivables, interest, and revenue from exploiting land use rights and related infrastructure on this area.
