A Vote of Confidence for Lach Huyen Port
During the high-profile visit, Mr. Clerc inspected the operations of the Hateco International Container Port (Berths 5 and 6 at Lach Huyen, Hai Phong). The Maersk chief expressed strong admiration for the project's rapid execution, modern infrastructure scale, and synchronized planning.
Accordingto Maersk's assessment:
- Global Standards: The port meets international benchmarks for infrastructure, management technology, and supply chain connectivity.
- Efficiency: The project was completed ahead of schedule, is operating with higher-than-expected productivity, and has significantly boosted customs clearance capacity for the Hai Phong region.
Mr. Clerc noted that Lach Huyen is steadily becoming a vital link in the international maritime network, solidifying trust with major global shippinglines, of which Maersk is a key partner.
