In the first quarter of 2025, the parent company Hai Phong Port continued to record positive growth in production and business activities. Despite facing challenges from global political developments and changing tax policies in China and the United States, Hai Phong Port maintained an effective marketing strategy, improved service quality and strongly restructured its organization. From the beginning of the year, the port added two new service routes at Tan Vu Port; container throughput increased by 3%, non-container cargo by 68%, and automobiles passing through Tan Vu Port by 50% compared with the same period in 2024. Revenue and profit also recorded encouraging growth.
