With the support and assistance from the Provincial People’s Committee, Khánh Hòa provincial departments, Navy Command, SNP, Navy Region 4 Command, and the partnership of customers and partners, Cam Ranh International Port will focus on developing the following services in the near future: seaport services, logistics services, stevedoring services, supply services, agency services for foreign military vessels, alongside repair services for military and civilian vessels, serving as a technical logistics base for oil and gas/wind power projects, and welcoming 5-star cruise ships.
