THE opening of the new Vietnamese terminal in Haiphong was celebrated at the terminal following the partnership of hateco Group and Maersk port operator APM Terminals (APMT) in Vietnam, reports London's Port Technology International.
The Hateco Haiphong International Container Terminal (HHIT) will provide two new deep-water berths at Lach Huyen port in Haiphong.
The new berths will be capable of attracting mega vessel services of up to 18,000 TEU.
The terminal has also been chosen as part of the Gemini Cooperation, the new east-west network handled by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.
At the opening, Hateco and APMT signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen and expand the strategic partnership in port and logistics investment and operations in Haiphong and in potential new strategic locations in Vietnam.
Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam Mai Van Chinh and Danish Ambassador to Vietnam and Laos Nicolai Prytz participated in the opening event.
'As the most modern and the largest deep water container port in Northern Vietnam, the new facility will enable businesses, create jobs and connect Vietnam to the world in a more efficient, cost effective and green manner,' said AP Moller-Maersk chairman Robert M?rsk Uggla.
'As we look ahead, Maersk is committed to deepening our collaboration with Vietnam and with our strategic partner Hateco. We are proud to offer our expertise and best practices to deliver value to our customers, partners and wider stakeholders in Haiphong and beyond.'
