The trend of supply chain shifting has attracted many FDI enterprises to invest in the Central provinces - Central Highlands, opening up opportunities to form large production areas, increasing the demand for import and export of goods, including bulk goods. In addition, the scarcity of fuel and gas supply in the world creates great opportunities for pellets and wood chips to be exported from Vietnam, especially the Central and Central Highlands provinces (the region has advantages in producing this item thanks to abundant raw materials from wood by-products and agricultural by-products). Currently, many enterprises have long-term cooperation with Chu Lai port to import and export bulk goods such as: Asia Creative Energy Company, Phu Tai, Thanh Thanh Dat, Quang Nam paper materials ... and Sun Paper Company (Laos).

Chu Lai Port has invested in a fleet of specialized tractors to transport goods from factories and upgrade equipment such as: Shore crane system, conveyor belt system, excavator, excavator, bulldozer, filling funnel system, bottom discharge container ... The port is also equipped with buckets - specialized equipment for loading and unloading bulk cargo with light weight and no specific structure such as ore, sand, salt, coal ... get out of the bunker easily and conveniently.Currently, Chu Lai port is completing investment procedures for the port project to welcome 5 lakh tons of ships, and at the same time coordinating with Quang Nam province to invest in building a new Cua Luo stream with a depth of -13.2m and dredging Ky Ha stream from a depth of -8.5m to -10m, ready to pick up large ships. It is expected that the new port with a length of more than 365m after being put into operation (in September 2023) will focus on serving container ships; the existing harbor area is used to exploit bulk cargo combining liquid and gas cargo... The completed projects will contribute to better meeting the import and export needs in the region; create a driving force to develop Chu Lai port to become a hub for domestic and international trade.
