Hai Phong (VNA) – The Tan Cang Hai Phong International Container Terminal (TC-HICT) in the northern city of Hai Phong welcomed its 1.5 millionth TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) this year on December 27, from container ship CMA CGM MISSISSIPI.
TC-HICT received its first container in May 2018. In 2020, for the first time, it handled 500,000 TEUs in a year. For three consecutive years - 2022, 2023, and 2024 - the port has maintained its performance with milestones of 1,000,000 TEUs.
This year marks TC-HICT’s milestone as it has handled 1.5 million TEUs, which helps secure its position as the leading port in northern Vietnam, ranking fourth nationwide and accounting for 23% of the market share of ports in Hai Phong.
This achievement demonstrates the outstanding development potential of the Lach Huyen area in particular and Hai Phong's seaports in general, indicating a significant demand for investment and the establishment of major shipping routes in this area.
The success of TC-HICT lays the groundwork for Hai Ph♔ong to continue developing a🌸dditional ports in the Lach Huyen area while maximising natural advantages and geographical positions to boost economic development, contributing to the increase in cargo throughput at Hai Phong's seaports./.
