27/11/2025 17:27

As global trade continues to shift rapidly, Vietnam is attracting increasing interest from leading logistics corporations around the world. Recently, A.P. Moller – Maersk, one of the world’s largest names in ocean shipping and supply chain management, expressed its intention to expand cooperation with Vietnam, including investing in large-scale, modern deep-water container ports built on green, low-emission, and sustainable standards.

According to Vincent Clerc – CEO of A.P. Moller – Maersk, Vietnam holds immense potential to become a strategic logistics and trade hub in the Asia–Pacific region. He emphasized Maersk’s desire to contribute more deeply to the development of Vietnam’s logistics infrastructure and supply chain capabilities, particularly in ocean freight, deep-water ports, and international container transshipment.

Why Maersk’s Interest Matters for Vietnam

1. Vietnam is rising as a key destination on the global logistics map

Vietnam’s port system — especially Cat Lai and Cai Mep – Thi Vai — possesses significant natural advantages and a uniquely strategic location for global trade flows.

2. Port infrastructure upgrades will boost export competitiveness

If realized, Maersk’s investment in deep-water ports will help Vietnam:

• Shorten export–import transit times
• Increase capacity for ultra-large container vessels
• Reduce logistics and transport costs
• Ease congestion and optimize container flow

3. Strengthening green logistics — a mandatory direction for global commerce

Large corporations worldwide are shifting toward low-emission maritime transport. Investment from Maersk would accelerate Vietnam’s transition into a greener, more sustainable logistics hub.

Positive Impact on Vietnamese Exporters

If these projects move forward, businesses engaged in export–import will benefit directly:

• Faster turnaround for export–import operations
• Lower overall ocean freight and logistics costs
• Improved reliability in cold-chain transport for agricultural and seafood shipments
• Expanded vessel routes and shipping options to the U.S., EU, and Asia
