Reaching New Heights: Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port Receives Certificate of Merit from the Ministry of National Defense

A 15-Year Milestone: From River Port to Modern Logistics Hub

The anniversary celebration, held on the evening of April 3, welcomed representatives from central and local government agencies, Ho Chi Minh City authorities, Nha Be District, leaders of Saigon Newport Corporation, partners, customers, and shipping lines. In a solemn atmosphere, Major Pham Thanh Son – Director of Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port JSC – reviewed the 15-year journey of formation and development.

Covering an area of 17 hectares, the port operates two container berths and four barge berths on the Soai Rap River, with the capacity to receive fully loaded vessels of up to 50,000 tons. From a newly established facility, Hiep Phuoc Port has become a vital link in Saigon Newport’s port ecosystem, serving as a solid "rear base" for Cat Lai and Cai Mep terminals, contributing to economic growth in southern Ho Chi Minh City.

Moreover, the port has pioneered the application of advanced technology in management and operations. Systems such as TOPO, HRM, Maximo, and applications like e-port and Golive are synchronized in real time, optimizing operational efficiency and enhancing overall management capacity.

In the dynamic landscape of Vietnam’s logistics sector, Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port stands out as a prime example of a military-run enterprise that combines efficiency, modernity, and humanism. Not only focused on technological investment and operational excellence, the port also spreads its values through meaningful community activities—creating a distinctive identity that is admirable and worth emulating.

Well-Deserved Recognition and Sustainable Aspirations

From 2020 to 2024, Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port achieved nearly VND 2,000 billion in total revenue, with an average annual growth rate of 102%. After-tax profit reached 103.8%, while the average income per employee exceeded VND 28 million/month. The port currently operates eight fixed weekly service routes to key markets such as China, South Korea, Thailand, and the United States, affirming its role as an international logistics hub.

In recognition of its outstanding achievements, the Ministry of National Defense awarded the Certificate of Merit to Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port. Additionally, Saigon Newport Corporation honored two teams and seven individuals for their exemplary contributions.

In his speech, Colonel Ngo Minh Thuan – General Director of Saigon Newport Corporation – highly commended the unity, creativity, and dedication of the port’s staff and workers, expressing his hopes that the port would continue to build on its tradition and assert its position in the next phase of development.

Beyond business operations, the port also actively engages in social responsibility activities such as long-term care for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers and donating VND 100 million to support the renovation of charity houses in Nha Be District on this special occasion.

Fifteen years is not a long journey, but it is enough to demonstrate the resilience, innovation, and continuous dedication of a distinguished logistics entity. Receiving the Certificate of Merit from the Ministry of National Defense is not only a well-deserved honor but also a driving force for Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port to make further breakthroughs on its journey to become a green, smart, and modern port—making meaningful contributions to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s logistics industry.
