President Luong Cuong (C) and other officials press the button to inaugurate Lach Huyen International Container Terminals 3 and 4, Hai Phong, May 13, 2025.

The event was among a series of activities in celebration of Hai Phong’s 70th Liberation Day (May 13) and the 30th anniversary of the Vietnam Maritime Cooperation (April 29). 

The terminals are capable of accommodating mother ships of 165,000 DWT (14,000 TEUs) and reduced-load ships of 200,000 DWT. Notably, they are operated under the Green & Smart Ports model, applying modern technology and automation to meet environmental standards, conserve energy, and ensure sustainable development in line with global trends.

Once operating at full capacity, the two new terminals will increase Hai Phong Port’s total handling capacity by an additional 1.35 to 1.5 million TEUs per year.
