ALBANY PIONEER, registered in Japan, with a tonnage of nearly 54,000 tons was the first ship to dock at Vung Ang Port in early 2025. It received and loaded approximately 50,000 tons of wood chips for export to Japan.
According to Mr. Pham Quoc Luong, Deputy Director of Lao-Viet International Port Joint Stock Company, after this shipment, it is expected that the cargo volume through the port will exceed one million tons in the first quarter of 2025.
Additionally, Lao-Viet International Port Joint Stock Company will strive to complete the final stages to put Wharf No. 3 into commercial operation by the end of the first quarter or in the beginning of the second quarter this year.
In 2025, the company sets a goal of achieving a cargo volume of 5.5 million tons and revenue of over VND200 billion (nearly US$8 million).
Despite facing difficulties and challenges in 2024, the company achieved a cargo volume of over 5 million tons, exceeding the planned target by 10-15 percent, with revenue surpassing VND200 billion (nearly US$8 million).
