On the night of August 19, Lao-Viet International Port Joint Stock Company in collaboration with Macstar Group officially launched the Hai Phong - Vung Ang - Hai Phong container shipping route. The first ship named MACSTAR HAI PHONG docked at Vung Ang port to load and unload 222 TEUs of cargo, including cargo containers for VinFast Production and Trading Joint Stock Company, Ha Tinh branch, and empty containers to pack transit cargo from Laos.

222 TEUs of Macstar Group arrived at Vung Ang port on the evening of August 19.

The service route aims to ensure the connection of import and export goods in existing and upcoming industrial parks in Ha Tinh province with Hai Phong transit port at competitive costs, superior transportation capacity and CO2 emission reduction. The Hai Phong - Vung Ang - Hai Phong container route is expected to operate 1 trip/week.

The Hai Phong - Vung Ang - Hai Phong container shipping route opens up opportunities for direct connection for businesses in the Vung Ang Economic Zone in particular and the region in general with the Hai Phong international transit port by sea transport. The shipping route is low-cost, safe, environmentally friendly, reducing pressure on road infrastructure; continuing to increase the attractiveness index in attracting investment into the Vung Ang Economic Zone; increasing income for workers; contributing to promoting the development of logistics services and seaports according to the policy of Ha Tinh province.

The active cooperation between the two units opens up many opportunities for logistics development for Vung Ang Economic Zone in particular and Ha Tinh in general.

This event is expected to create new momentum for Lao-Viet International Port Joint Stock Company in particular and Vung Ang Economic Zone in general, thereby promoting investment attraction, developing logistics services in Ha Tinh and affirming the position of Vung Ang port on the international maritime map.

The opening of the Hai Phong - Vung Ang - Hai Phong container route not only opens up a new direction for regional maritime transport but also affirms the increasingly important role of Vung Ang port in the international supply chain. We are committed to continuing to accompany shipping lines and businesses to build Vung Ang port into a strategic cargo transit point for the North Central region and the Northeast region of Thailand...
