APM Terminals and Hateco Group inaugurate new container terminal in Vietnam

APM Terminals and Hateco Group celebrated the opening of the new terminal in Haiphong, Vietnam, at an event at the terminal facility.

The Hateco Haiphong International Container Terminal (HHIT) is able to provide two new deep-water berths at Lach Huyen Port in Haiphong City. The new berths will be capable of attracting mega vessel services of up to 18,000 TEU size.



Robert Uggla, Chairman of A.P Moller Maersk Group, stated: “As the most modern and the largest deep water container port in Northern Vietnam, the new facility will enable businesses, create jobs and connect Vietnam to the world in a more efficient, cost effective and green manner.”

As part of the project, APM Terminals has shared best practices on safety, port automation, the use of artificial intelligence and process optimisation and decarbonisation, all of which are part of the partners’ mutual priorities as public-private partners.

The terminal has also been chosen as part of the Gemini Cooperation, the new East-West network handled by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.

Tran Van Ky, Chairman of Hateco Board of Directors, commented: “In just 30 months, what was once a dream has become the most modern maritime gateway for Northern Vietnam. For Hateco, it is not just a new port. It is a gateway for progress, a symbol of partnership and a testament to what vision, innovation and collaboration can bring.”



At the opening, Hateco and APM Terminals signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen and expand the strategic partnership in port and logistics investment and operations in Haiphong and potential new strategic locations in Vietnam.
