Located at the gateway to the Gulf of Tonkin, the Lach Huyen International Deep-water Port Complex in Hai Phong has firmly established itself as the largest and most modern seaport in northern Vietnam.
Designed to handle mega container ships, supported by synchronized terminal infrastructure and advanced operating technologies, the Lach Huyen Port not only opens a vital gateway for international trade but also acts as a key driver of logistics development and the marine economy across the northern region. From above, the port looks like a vast “logistics city” rising from the sea, featuring long wharves extending offshore, large-scale container yards, and well-planned deep-water shipping channels.This is the first deep-water port cluster in northern Vietnam capable of accommodating mega container vessels operating direct services to Europe and the Americas without transshipment at foreign ports, marking a major milestone in Vietnam’s maritime development.The growing presence of leading global shipping lines such as Maersk, MSC, ONE and CMA CGM underscores Lach Huyen Port’s rising position on the international maritime map. With modern berths, advanced cargo-handling technology and deep navigational channels, the port has emerged as a strategic driver for regional logistics development and Vietnam’s deeper integration into global supply chains.Port infrastructure has been developed in line with international standards, with the application of automation technologies and smart management systems, shortening cargo-handling time and reducing logistics costs for businesses. Alongside modern equipment, a well-trained workforce capable of mastering advanced technologies has played a key role in building the image of a professional, safe and efficient seaport.According to development plans, the Lach Huyen Port will continue to expand with additional terminals and enhanced handling capacity, aiming to become a regional maritime and logistics hub.Amid the open sea, the Lach Huyen Port Complex has become a powerful symbol of Hai Phong’s ambition to reach global markets, deepen international integration, and pursue sustainable development in a new era.
