Hai Phong marked the 70th anniversary of its Liberation Day (May 13, 1955 - May 13, 2025) with the official inauguration of International Container Terminals No. 3 and 4 at Lach Huyen - Hai Phong Port on May 13.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by State President Luong Cuong and many other high-ranking officials.

Approved by the Prime Minister in 2019, this investment project—led by Hai Phong Port Joint Stock Company—represents a key expansion of Hai Phong International Port at Lach Huyen.

As a strategic component of Vietnam’s national seaport development plan through 2030, with a vision extending to 2045, the terminals underscore the country's ambition to become “strong from the sea, rich from the sea.”

Designed to function as a state-of-the-art cargo transshipment hub, the project will facilitate direct connections to major international maritime routes.

It is expected to significantly enhance Vietnam’s import-export capacity, attract investment, and contribute to the modernization and sustainability of the nation’s logistics and supply chain sector.

According to development plans, by 2030, the Lach Huyen terminal area will feature 13 to 16 berths, capable of handling an annual cargo throughput of from 61.4 million to 90 million tons, while accommodating between 10,500 to 11,000 passenger arrivals.
