QUẢNG NGÃI — South Korea’s HD Hyundai Ecovina have been granted an investment licence for its industrial park on 101.6ha with total capital of US$335 million in Dung Quất Economic Zone, marking its first licence approved since signing a share purchase agreement with Doosan Enerbility (Doosan Vina) worth 290 billion won (roughly $200 million) last August.

A source from the management board of Dung Quất Economic Zone and Industrial Parks said this will be the 17th licence that has been granted to the heavy industries investor in the province.

HD Hyundai Ecovina shared that it plans to transform the site into a global manufacturing centre specialising in liquefied natural gas plant modules, ships, thermal power boilers and port cranes that meet tightened environmental regulations from the International Maritime Organization.

Formerly operating under the name Doosan Vina since 2009, the South Korean heavy industries manufacturer in Dung Quất Economic Zone used to produce made-in-Việt Nam goods including boilers, desalination plants and cranes for export to 35 countries.

The central province has approved 26 investment proposals and projects worth VNĐ104 trillion ($4 billion). — VNS
