The milestone of receiving more than 2,000,000 TEU in 2020, which is 6.2 times increasing compared to the first year of operation in 2011, affirms the sustainable development of TCIT, as well as the potentiality and attraction of Cai Mep - Thi Vai area of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, especially in the period of global pandemic influence.

Handling productivity has reached 130 containers/ hour, showing an increase of 13% compared to 2019, reaching a record of handling up to 207.4 containers/ hour/ vessel - confirming the capacity and position of TCIT as well as the whole Vietnam seaport industry. Thanks to the top-quality service and flexible customer support policies, TCIT has been growing strongly in all aspects, reciprocating the great trust and support of our customers and the whole community.
