Top terminal of global transit cargo

At the beginning of 2018, TCIT continuously maintains a steady growth. As reported, throughput volume in the first quarter hit 351,271 Teus, which is 8% higher in comparision with the first quarter of 2017.

Facing many recent changes of worldwide shipping market, there will be a lot of difficulties, challenges as well as new opportunities for TCIT to retain and attract more customers. With national orientation to become a well-known transit terminal in Asia, on par with Port of Hong Kong, Singapore, etc., throughput volume of Cai Mep – Thi Vai ports has been on a rapid increase. Leading to that trend, TCIT is always the largest container terminal in this region, meeting the Government's expectation to become the top terminal of global transit cargo in Vietnam and in Southeast Asia.
