2) BRVT is close to Cai Mep Thi Vai International Terminal(about 4 ~ 8km from main industrial zones in BRVT).

3) There are rich province in terms of NaturalResources(Natural Gas, LPG, Condensate) and mountainwater.

4) BRVT has a lots power plants (natural gas fired, total power
amount: 4100MW). So any company can use the stablepower.
5Supply chain in the southern economic zone of Vietnam
Vietnam can produce basic materials in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province where integrate heavy
industry and petrochemical industry , which belong to upstream in supply chain, and supply
those materials for light industry zone next to BRVT, which are Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Long An
and Ho Chi Minh (downstream in supply chain ). As the result, BRVT will contribute to Vietnam
as the base for the basic materials to increase local content rate in Vietnam.

II. Implementation result of major missions onenvironmental protection
 Invested the focused waste

treatment area of 100 ha in Tan
Thanh District, attracted 13
projects (08 projects have beenoperating).
 Household solid waste: 6 outof 8 locals treat the waste byburying(564tons/day,accounting for 90,1%); 02
locals burry temporarily, burnwith small volume capacity of
60 tons/day, accounting for 9,9%).
13

II. Implementation result of major missions onenvironmental protection- Industrial solid waste (1,000tons/day) are transferred tofunctional agencies in Ba Ria– Vung Tau province andnearby provinces.
- Hazardous industrial solid
waste:
200
tons/day(excluding steel furnace dust).
Quantity of steel furnace dust
has been created about 35,586
tons since January 2016 andtransferred to 03 units which
are improved by Vietnam
Environment Administration.

the criterias for selective investors, investment projects and list of
projects in the priority areas for investment attraction, conditional
investment attraction and stopped investment attraction in Ba Ria –Vung Tau province.

chemical manufacturing (creating industrial waste water); dying,tanning; projects producing construction steel, billets; processing
paper, paper pulp; fish meal processing, etc.

16III. Major solutions for environmental protection in thefuture
Increasing popularity ofenenvironmental laws, raisingawareness, sense ofresponsibility for environmental
protection of enterprises andinvestors.

Strengthening inspection,controlling, preventing, treating
environmental pollution areas.

18III. Major solutions for environmental protection in
the future-Urgently invest 03 seafoods processing areas in theprovince in order to resolve environmental pollution
caused by seafoods processing operations,individually in residential area.
- Direct the relevant authorities to urge and request
investor to build steel furnace dust treatment plantand put it into operation soonly.

19III. Major solutions for environmental protection in
the future- Strengthen coordination with other agencies, domestic andforeign units, particularly units, locals of Japan in applying
environmental treatment technologies.
- A number of priority areas: experience of state management
on environment; household waste burning technology; emissiontreatment technologies, experience of management onautomatic monitoring system, etc.
