We will continue to improve product quality and perfect the production process to better meet technical standards and practical requirements from partners.”

The containers delivered in this batch are completely newly manufactured at Hoa Phat Container Factory, meeting all international technical standards. Hoa Phat is currently able to take the initiative in most of its input materials thanks to the production of hot-rolled steel coil at the Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Complex. The target of localizing 90 to 95% of raw materials in 2025 will help Hoa Phat stabilize production and improve its competitiveness in the market.

Hoa Phat's container factory is currently operating phase one with a capacity of 200,000 TEUs per year, aiming for a scale of 500,000 TEUs after completing the next investment phases. With current capacity, Hoa Phat is the largest container manufacturer in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

The cooperation between Hoa Phat and Saigon Newport Corporation is considered by both sides to be in line with the orientation of increasing the initiative in the domestic logistics chain with domestic resources. The two sides are continuing to discuss to expand the scale of cooperation in the coming time, based on the actual needs and long-term exploitation potential of the maritime transport industry.
