What Port of Hai Phong does

Port of Hai Phong (Công ty Cổ phần Cảng Hải Phòng) is a publicly listed Vietnamese joint stock company (ticker PHP on the Upcom exchange) and a member of state-owned Vietnam Maritime Joint Stock Company (VIMC). Founded in 1874, it operates the largest cargo throughput seaport in northern Vietnam, with 19 berths spanning 3,567m and a combined container yard area of 712,110 m² across two facilities: Tan Vu Port (deep-water terminal with 5 berths, 510,000 m² yard, designed depth -9.0m) and Hoang Dieu Chua Ve Port (traditional terminal, 202,110 m² yard). The company serves international shipping lines, freight forwarders, import/export businesses, shipbuilders, and offshore wind vessel operators.

The company's core service portfolio encompasses cargo handling and stevedoring, multimodal transport, warehousing and storage (including container yards and CFS warehouses), container inspection/repair/cleaning (M&R), towage and ship assistance (operated through a wholly-owned subsidiary with vessels up to 5,000 HP), and ancillary services including vocational training and enterprise healthcare. Underlying technology includes STS (Ship-to-Shore) and RTG (Rubber Tyred Gantry) crane systems, a complete IT infrastructure (network, server, surveillance, cybersecurity), and two digital service platforms: ePort for electronic procedures, documentation, and payment, and Smart Gate for paperless contactless cargo gate-in. In 2025, the port achieved a Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) score of 122 from S&P Global and the World Bank, ranking 13th globally and entering the top 20 most efficient container ports worldwide for the first time.

The business model is transaction-fee based, generating revenue from cargo handling, storage, transport, and ancillary port services priced per the publicly available service tariff. Go-to-market is direct to enterprise customers (shipping lines, logistics providers, shipbuilders) through physical port operations, an in-house sales department, the ePort self-serve platform, the Smart Gate system, and a customer service hotline (1800.555522). The company has established strategic relationships with global operators including TIL/MSC (joint venture at Lach Huyen deep-water port) and has signed coordination agreements with HTIT and TC-HICT for shared berthing operations.
