On July 1, 2026, in Hanoi, Saigon Port Joint Stock Company (Saigon Port) and Hai Phong Port Joint Stock Company (Hai Phong Port) signed a cooperation agreement with MSC Vietnam Co., Ltd., and MEDLOG Vietnam Holding Co., Ltd., marking a new milestone in the collaboration among leading players in Vietnam’s port, maritime and supply chain sectors.
The agreement combines the port operating expertise of Vietnam Maritime Corporation (VIMC)’s two key port operators with MSC and MEDLOG’s global shipping network and integrated logistics capabilities. By leveraging their complementary strengths, the parties aim to deliver seamless solutions, optimize strategic port assets, and create greater value for customers across the supply chain.
Attending the signing ceremony were Mrs. Trinh Thi Ngoc Bien – Head of Business Development at VIMC; Mr. Pham Hong Minh – Party Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hai Phong Port; Mr. Le Hong Quan – Member of the Board of Directors and General Director of Hai Phong Port; Mr. Benoit de Quillacq – General Director of MSC Vietnam Co., Ltd.; Mr. Nguyen Le Chon Tam – General Director of Saigon Port, along with leaders of relevant units.

Under the agreement, the parties will jointly develop integrated supply chain solutions while maximizing the value of VIMC’s strategic port infrastructure, including Berths No. 3 & 4 at Lach Huyen Port (Hai Phong) and the Can Gio International Transshipment and Gateway Port Project (Ho Chi Minh City). Together, these projects are expected to strengthen Vietnam’s maritime gateway network, expand cargo transshipment capacity, and reinforce the country’s position in regional and global trade.

The agreement further strengthens the partnership between the parties following the official approval of the consortium comprising Terminal Investment Limited (TiL)/MSC, VIMC and Saigon Port as the investor for the Can Gio International Transshipment and Gateway Port Project. With TiL’s global terminal expertise and the combined strengths of the consortium, the project is expected to become a major international transshipment hub, expanding Vietnam’s access to major shipping routes while supporting the long-term growth of regional supply chains.

More than a strategic agreement, this ceremony reflects a shared commitment to creating long-term value through stronger collaboration, customer-focused solutions and more efficient supply chains. This also serves as a foundation for future initiatives that will enhance Vietnam’s maritime infrastructure and reinforce its position within the global trading network.
