Shanghai International Port has long held the position of the world’s leading container port by volume, handling over 51 million TEUs annually. Meanwhile, Saigon Newport Corporation is Vietnam’s top port operator with a total throughput of 11 million TEUs per year.

The launch of the SSX service marks a strategic move that contributes to realizing the commitment to enhance maritime transport capacity between Vietnam, China, and the United States, while opening up new opportunities for regional supply chain collaboration. With its favorable geographical location and recognized status as an extended gateway of Tan Cang - Cat Lai Terminal, Tan Cang - Hiep Phuoc Port is poised to be the ideal calling point for the SSX service – fully meeting the requirements to become a vital trade gateway for Southern Vietnam.
Beyond its modern infrastructure and increasingly optimized handling capacity, Tan Cang - Hiep Phuoc Port operates within a comprehensive logistics ecosystem, tightly connected with SNP’s network of ICDs, depots, and multi-modal transportation including maritime, inland waterway, and road transport. These advantages help reduce transit time, lower logistics costs, and enhance customer competitiveness. We believe the SSX service will quickly become a reliable choice for the import-export business community, bringing tangible added value and contributing to the strengthening of maritime trade corridors between China, Vietnam, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region.
