This is a route operated by MSC, part of the Sentosa network, connecting Vietnam directly to West Coast ports in the United States.

According to Mr. Phan Hoang Vu, General Director of SSIT port, the successful reception of the MSC Leanne vessel is particularly significant in the context of the US temporarily imposing a 10% import tariff for 90 days.
The operation of large-tonnage vessels helps shipping companies and ports promptly meet the increased export demand from Vietnam to the United States during this period, while also creating a foundation for future trade growth between the two countries, especially after bilateral negotiations are advanced.
This event marks a significant step forward in the strategy to enhance the capacity to receive mother vessels at the Cai Mep - Thi Vai port cluster, while affirming SSIT's role as one of the leading deep-water ports in Vietnam, capable of accommodating ultra-large vessels and expanding trans- Pacific maritime connectivity.
