APM Terminals, an independent entity of Danish shipping giant A. P. Moller – Maersk, and Vietnam’s Hateco Group have celebrated the grand opening of the new terminal in Haiphong, Vietnam.
The Hateco Haiphong International Container Terminal (HHIT) will provide two new deep-water berths at Lach Huyen port in Haiphong City, APM Terminals revealed, adding that the new berths will be capable of attracting mega vessel services of up to 18,000 TEU size.
As part of the project, APM Terminals has, reportedly, shared “best practices” on safety, port automation, the use of artificial intelligence and process optimization and decarbonization. As disclosed, the terminal has also been chosen as part of the Gemini Cooperation, the new East-West network handled by Maersk and Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd.
To note, at the opening, Hateco and APM Terminals signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to deepen and expand the strategic partnership in port and logistics investment and operations in Haiphong and potential new strategic locations in Vietnam.
