 but small vessels no need to use Viet surrounding sea
According to the project’s blueprint, the Funan Techo Canal is expected to be 100 meters wide upstream and 80 meters downstream with a total depth of 5.4 meters. This design consideration, coupled with the provision of two shipping lanes, ensures the seamless passage of vessels of up to 3,000 deadweight tonnages in opposite directions simultaneously.

US$1.7 bln for a 180km, 5.4m deep and 80-100m wide canal seems quite cheap.
This means a 120km Kra-equivalent Canal (avg 240m width and 16m deep) could be built by China at about 10 times the 1.7bln amount or US$17 bln, much lesser than the RMB 850 bln that China is planning to spend on 6 new shipping canals in its provinces.
