BREAKING COMMENCEMENT OF VIETNAM’S FIRST FRAME CRANE PROJECT BRANDED SAIGON NEWPORT CORPORATION

On September 20, 2022, Tan Cang Gantry Joint Stock Company (TCGT) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the "Building a new RTG crane" project at An Ha Industrial Park, Binh Chanh District - Ho Chi Minh City. It was designed to successfully achieve the goal of producing Vietnam's first frame crane branded SNP.

The scene of the event

The predecessor of Tan Cang Gantry Joint Stock Company is Tan Cang - Mitsui Joint Stock Company (TCMS), established in March 2018. By December 2021, TCMS was restructured and renamed Tan Cang Gantry Joint Stock Company, with two principal shareholders: Tan Cang Technical Services Joint Stock Company (DVKT) and Tan Cang Offshore Services Joint Stock Company (TCO). These are two member units in the important service pillar and the Port and logistics ecosystem of Saigon Newport Corporation (SNP). TCGT's main business activities focus on supporting the port industry, including buying, selling, leasing, manufacturing equipment for the industry, and consulting solutions to install equipment to optimize port operations.

Despite COVID-19 heavily affecting the global supply chain, world port congestion, political conflicts, etc., the international export and import market witnessed a growth via sea and aircraft freight forwarding, leading to an increase in the Rubber Tired Gantry Crane market with a value of 1.34 billion USD in 2021, and forecast to reach a value of 1.76 billion USD in 2027. In addition, the escalating demand for goods and raw materials and increased trade activities between countries are accelerating the demand for products. Moreover, national governments are aggressively implementing many initiatives and investing in developing port infrastructure and capacity. For example, the Panama Canal expansion has increased container traffic around the globe, thus driving the demand for mobile container loading and unloading equipment, such as RTG Cranes, whose primary function is to save the terminals space, minimize downtime, improve productivity, and efficiency, expand flexibility and reduce costs in port operations.
