The CMA CGM Group and Gemadept have launched Phase 2 of the Gemalink container terminal in Cai Mep, southern Vietnam. The project strengthens a key trade gateway in Southeast Asia and supports growing regional supply chains.
The expansion will increase terminal capacity from 1.7 million to 3 million TEUs by 2027. It includes a 450-meter quay extension, yard expansion from 32 to 44 hectares, and the addition of five ship-to-shore cranes, bringing the total to 13.
CMA CGM holds a 25% stake in Gemalink. The investment marks a new step in expanding its port capacity in Southeast Asia and reinforces its long-term commitment to Vietnam’s economic growth and trade development.
Since opening in 2021, Gemalink has operated at full capacity. It handles 1.7 million TEUs annually and ranks among the most efficient terminals in Vietnam’s Vung Tau region. Its location along major shipping routes supports strong import-export growth.
Christine Cabau Woehrel, Executive Vice President of Operations and Assets at CMA CGM, said the expansion highlights the Group’s long-term commitment to Vietnam and its partnership with Gemadept. She added the project will strengthen Vietnam’s role in global supply chains and support its ambition to become a leading logistics hub by 2050.
The project aligns with CMA CGM’s broader strategy in Vietnam. The Group has operated in the country since 1989. It runs 29 weekly services across seven ports and maintains offices in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Haiphong, Danang, and Quy Nhon, supported by CEVA Logistics.
