Over the years, CU Lines has ever accompanied, developed, and supported Saigon Newport system from North to South. 

• In the northern region: CU Lines deploys two services at Tan Cang 128 - Hai Phong terminal (TC128).

In the context of the Chinese government has begun to loosen the blockade solutions after more than two months of preventing the Covid-19 epidemic in major cities, the CV3 service operated with a frequency of 1 trip/week at TCHP has significant meanings: 

• Maintains the volume of imports and exports between Vietnam and China, that promptly meet the market's demand.
• Contributes to the efforts to revive the supply chain and production in critical regions of China.

The second quarter of 2022 significantly marks the success of TCHP by shipping lines continuously operating new services (before that, the Alliance - NBOS and BAL operated new service CV1 in April 2022; one month later, Zhonggu operated the CV3 service in May 2022). This is proof of the trust and support of shipping lines/agents and customers to TCHP in Intra-Asia service. In addition, TCHP also receives bulk carriers and general cargo carriers…
 

With the ability to attract new services to meet the diverse needs of shipping lines and customers, TCHP increasingly affirms its capacity and importance as an "extension arm" of Tan Cang - Cai Lai terminal in the critical areas of the south in Ho Chi Minh city.
