Continue to expand the fleet
By the end of 2024, in addition to domestic routes, Hai An has expanded many international routes such as Hai Phong - Hong Kong - South China, Hai Phong - Nansha (China), Hai Phong - Qinzhou (China); joint venture with Zim to establish Lotus Link to open a direct route Vietnam - Malaysia - India... and a number of other sea transport routes in the region.
In the past year alone, Hai An has received and put into use 4 container ships, including 3 newly built ships of 1,800 TEU (HA Beta, AB Sky, HA Opus) and 1 second-hand ship of 3,500 TEU (HA Gama), increasing the fleet to 16 ships with a total transport capacity of 26,500 TEU; becoming a large-scale private transport unit, operating on many domestic and international routes.
In early February 2025, Hai An successfully invested in the Haian Zeta container ship with a capacity of 1,702 TEU and leased it to its partner Sealead Shipping for a time-limited lease, operating on the Mediterranean - North Africa - East Coast of the United States route. This is Hai An's first ship to operate on the US route and opens up opportunities for future investment ships to continue operating on long routes such as the US and Europe.
Not stopping at domestic and intra-Asian routes, with a strategic vision for sustainable and long-term development, Hai An expects to expand its services to the Mediterranean - Europe (MED - EU) and/or the US West Coast in the next few years, providing direct container transportation services to Vietnamese exporters and importers.
To realize this ambition, especially targeting markets with large trade with Vietnam, Hai An is building a roadmap to develop a larger fleet to meet the increasingly high requirements of international maritime standards in the coming time.
This year, Hai An plans to build 4 new container ships of 3,000 - 4,500 TEU; continue to look for 2 to 3 suitable used ships when the opportunity arises; and at the same time, research and develop a project to build ships of 7,000 to 9,000 TEU.
Not only expanding its fleet to a larger size, Hai An also wants to improve its competitiveness and close its supply chain by seeking investment opportunities in seaports in the Hai Phong area to improve its exploitation capacity and save port transfer costs; continue to invest in logistics service infrastructure in areas such as the Central region and the Mekong Delta.

Reaping the rewards of increased investment
In fact, in order to expand the shipping routes and rejuvenate the fleet, Hai An has continuously invested in additional ships over the years. Specifically, the Company purchased Haian Link and Haian Bell in 2018; Haian Mind in 2019; Haian East and Haian West in 2021; Anbien Bay, Haian City and A Roku in 2022; in 2024, it will receive 4 container ships, increasing the fleet capacity to 26,500 TEU - becoming a multi-modal transport unit, serving many domestic and intra-Asian routes.
Thanks to the strategy of investing in fleet at the right time and deploying reasonable shipping routes, Hai An has met the needs of customers and partners and achieved impressive business growth results.
Specifically, in 2024, revenue increased by 52.8% to VND 3,992.1 billion - the highest level ever; profit after tax increased by 123.6% to VND 800.2 billion.
In the first quarter of 2025, revenue continued to increase by 66%, reaching VND 1,169.1 billion; profit increased by 293.7%, reaching VND 233.23 billion - completing 33.2% of the profit plan of VND 702 billion for the whole year.
It can be said that, thanks to a methodical investment strategy, Hai An is increasingly affirming its position, competing with major shipping lines in the region and internationally, and continuously conquering new heights in revenue and profit.
