Saigon Newport Corporation's 35th Anniversary, A Journey of Resilience and Achievement

Established on March 15, 1989, under the Vietnam People's Navy by the Minister of National Defense, Saigon Military Port embarked on a transformative journey that led to its evolution into Saigon Newport Corporation. Over the past three and a half decades, SNP has emerged as a cornerstone of the nation's maritime infrastructure, boasting 28 port facilities and a nationwide logistics network.

In 1992, amidst significant global changes in port operations, SNP underwent a strategic transition to become a container vessel operator while staying true to its core values. This strategic move positioned SNP for continued growth and expansion, laying the foundation for its status as a leader in the industry.

Environmental stewardship has been a cornerstone of SNP's operations, exemplified by its partnership with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) on the "Sustainable port development in the ASEAN region" project in 2015. Over the past nine years, alongside comprehensive digital and green initiatives, SNP has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Green Port Award for Tan Cang - Cat Lai Port and Tan Cang - Cai Mep International Terminal (TCIT). Additionally, SNP has been recognized as a leader in Science, Technology, and Innovation (I4.0 Awards), and acknowledged as one of the top 10 green and sustainable enterprises.

Over the years, SNP's R&D Center has provided invaluable advice, guided targeted strategies, and forged beneficial alliances. Additionally, SNP’s top management holds key positions within prestigious domestic and international associations, including the Ho Chi Minh City Logistics Association, Vietnam Logistics Association Nam, ASEAN Port Association, and Asia Pacific Port Service Systems Council (APSN). SNP's contributions to these associations are highly esteemed, particularly its solutions aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, connectivity, digitalization, and promoting green logistics.

SNP's pioneering efforts in innovation and digitalization have propelled the company to the forefront of the industry. SNP continuously modernizes its operations to meet global standards, bringing it closer to its ambitious goal of global connectivity. Port research organizations have recognized the terminal efficiency of Tan Cang Cat Lai, ranking it among the top-tier terminals globally, matching or even surpassing the efficiency levels of renowned ports like Shanghai and Singapore.

In recent years, SNP has proactively engaged with international associations, sparking initiatives for industry growth at both regional and global events. SNP’s contributions to productivity, connectivity, digitalization, and sustainable logistics have been widely appreciated. In 2023 alone, SNP participated in nearly 30 conferences, exhibitions, and trade promotions across 21 countries, facilitating meetings with senior leaders of strategic partners in Singapore, Taiwan, China, and Europe.

"We are committed to ceaselessly innovating and creating towards perfection and modernity, staying ahead of emerging trends," remarked Ngo Minh Thuan. "We envision transforming SNP into a major brand regionally and globally, striving to become a leading conglomerate in Vietnam's maritime economy and logistics sector."
