On October 31, 2023, Headway JSC visited and worked at Gemalink, the largest deep-water "super port" in the Southern region. The trip helped us survey the current situation at the port yard, consider implementing a new project, packing complete cars from Cai Mep, Vung Tau to the Middle East.

Gemalink port has a strategic location in the international maritime route, right at Cai Mep - Thi Vai estuary, which is the top cargo transshipment point in Southeast Asia, can connect with ports in the Middle East, convenient for mother vessels to dock in and out of the port.

At the same time, Gemalink is one of the top 19 commercial ports in the world, capable of receiving the largest container vessel size today, up to 250,000 DWT. The port has a water draft of 16.5 m deep, a specialized wharf for feeders connecting Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, and a loading and unloading capacity of 3 million teu/year.

This is especially important in the transportation of types of specific goods such as complete cars, requiring transshipment ports to have enough capacity to operate specialized vessels with large tonnage.

During this field trip, Headway had an opportunity to understand smart utilities and modern infrastructure at the port, witnessing large tonnage vessels coming in and out to handle cargo. We directly discussed with port staff about the process of transporting, loading, unloading, and packing cars, thereby considering incorporating operating mechanisms for new projects.

We not only affirm our leading position in the automotive market by meeting optimal performance in terms of time and cost, but also contribute to promoting the development of logistics activities, quickly connecting domestic and international routes of Vietnam.
