The group has arranged enough capital to implement the project according to the committed schedule.
Raw materials for the production of shipping containers are hot rolled coil (HRC) weather-resistant and expensive SPA-H steel. This is a product of the Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Production Complex. In Vietnam, only this company has the technology to produce this type of steel.
The group has experience in large scale production, material resources and manufacturing. These factors have ensured high quality and reasonable prices for its cargo.
The cargo container factory project will have a capacity of 500,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) a year, focusing on popular container products, with a length of 20-40 feet. The first phase has a capacity of 180,000-200,000 TEU a year.
Vu Duc Sinh, Director of the Hoa Phat Container Manufacturing Joint Stock Company said Hoa Phat chose Ba Ria – Vung Tau to set up its first factory because it is located in the driving force area of the Southeast region, close to major seaports such as Cat Lai, Cai Mep – Thi Vai and has many benefits to ensure the success of the project. It is expected that at the beginning of the second quarter of 2022, the first shipping containers under the Hoa Phat brand name will be available on the market.
With an output of 500,000 TEU a year, the container production will need one million tonnes of HRC a year, which is a very good output for the Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Complex and Hoa Phat Dung Quat 2 Project. The container manufacturing is a value-added product in Hoa Phat’s iron and steel manufacturing ecosystem./.
