Hanoi (VNS/VNA)ꦬ - Tan Vu Port, a key cargo handling unit under Hai Phong Port Joint Stock Company, celebrated handling its one-millionth TEU in 2024 on December 26.
This achievement marks the fourth consecutive year the port has reached this significant milestone.
Nguyen Tuong Anh, General Director of Hai Phong Port Joint Stock Company, stated that the port is continuing to invest in critical infrastructure projects for 2025 to meet customer expectations and maintain growth momentum.
Key investment projects include deepening the channel to -8.5 metres and expanding the turning basin to 300 metres, enabling the port to accommodate larger vessels. Additionally, two modern STS cranes will be installed at both Tan Vu Port and Dinh Vu Port.
In 2025, Hai Phong Port aims to maintain its trajectory and achieve five consecutive years of handling over one million TEUs at Tan Vu Port.
According to Nguyen Tuong Anh, 2024 has been a year of significant achievements for Hai Phong Port in terms of business performance. The total cargo throughput at the port reached a stable growth rate, with approximately 40 million tonnes of goods handled, including nearly two million TEUs of container cargo. The company has also achieved a revenue of 2.9 trillion VND (113.9 million USD).
Hai Phong Port has retained its position as the largest seaport in northern Vietnam. In particular, Tan Vu Port remains a leading container port in the Hai Phong region, symbolising modernisation and international integration.
In addition to operational and business successes, 2024 also marked a major milestone with the establishment of two strategic joint ventures, set to become operational in Q1 2025. Specifically, Hai Phong Port has partnered with SITC, a leading Asian shipping company, and TIL, part of MSC Group, the world’s largest container shipping company.
These joint ventures are expected to enhance operational efficiency, attract larger volumes of cargo and further integrate Hai Phong Port into global supply chains./.
