Hoa Phat delivers 1,000 containers to the world's top 3 shipping line

Hoa Phat Group delivered 1,000 20-foot containers to CMA CGM, a global shipping company providing sea, road, air and logistics solutions, on August 19. This is the first order between the two parties and also the first time CMA CGM has used containers manufactured by a Vietnamese enterprise.

CMA CGM is currently increasing its operations in Southeast Asia to meet the growing cargo traffic in the region. Ordering containers directly from Hoa Phat helps the company proactively source equipment in Vietnam, while shortening the turnaround time and optimizing costs in the exploitation chain.

The batch of containers delivered by Hoa Phat was manufactured according to international technical standards, fully meeting the strict requirements set by the world's largest shipping lines. The entire production process is strictly controlled from input materials, processing, coating to acceptance. CMA CGM's technical team, in coordination with independent monitoring units and specialized inspection organizations, directly monitored each stage at the factory.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Amelie Humphreys, General Director of CMA CGM Vietnam, shared: “The cooperation with Hoa Phat is an important step forward for CMA CGM to strengthen its supply chain capacity in Asia. Ordering directly from domestic manufacturers near export markets helps us improve operational efficiency, shorten turnaround times and increase the flexibility of the regional logistics network.”

Mr. Vu Duc Sinh, Director of Hoa Phat Container Manufacturing Joint Stock Company said:
"We appreciate the cooperation from CMA CGM, one of the largest container shipping lines in the world. Hoa Phat is committed to maintaining the highest quality of container shells, ensuring full compliance with technical standards and actual exploitation progress from international partners."

Container shells are made from SPA-H grade hot-rolled steel, a weather-resistant steel specialized in the container industry. This raw material is supplied directly from the Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Complex, helping Hoa Phat proactively control quality and maintain stable production progress.

Hoa Phat's container factory is operating phase one with a capacity of 200,000 TEU per year, focusing on the production of 20 and 40 feet standard dry containers. After completing the entire project, the design capacity will reach 500,000 TEU per year. With its current scale, Hoa Phat is the largest container manufacturer in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Besides CMA CGM, Hoa Phat has been supplying containers to many shipping lines and large logistics enterprises. All orders implemented meet technical requirements, are strictly inspected and serve well for actual exploitation activities./.
