VIETNAM's shipping industry is proposing an upgrade its regional container fleet, with the volume of the container cargo through the nation's seaports up seven per cent in 2021, reaching 24 million TEU, reports Hong Kong's Dezan Shira & Associates.
As of March 2022, the global container fleet has 6,346 ships with a total capacity of 25.5 million TEU with a total tonnage of 305,902,000 deadweight tonnage.
Meanwhile, Vietnam's container fleet has 10 container shipping companies, that own 48 containerships with a total capacity of 39,519 TEU, and a total tonnage of 548,236 dwt.
Vietnam's shipping fleet is responsible for transporting seven per cent of the market share.
There are three main port cities along Vietnam's coastline: Hai Phong in the North, Ho Chi Minh City in the South, and Da Nang in the central region.
The Ho Chi Minh City port handles the largest share of cargo in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, the northern port of Hai Phong is a major port for international container traffic.
The Hai Phong International Container Terminal (HICT) can accommodate large containerships, reducing time and cost for shipments to northern Vietnam.
