From the old trading hub of Ben Nghe and Saigon Port to Cat Lai, Hiep Phuoc and Cai Mep-Thi Vai ports, the aspiration to develop Can Gio Port reflects Ho Chi Minh City’s journey of expansion towards the sea.
With increasingly stringent international environmental standards and Vietnam’s commitment to net zero by 2050, the port system in the southern economic hub of Ho Chi Minh city is accelerating its transition towards greener infrastructure and digitalised management. This is seen as a key “passport” for Vietnamese maritime trade to maintain global competitiveness.
