From the pioneering mark of Vietnam's largest deep-water port operator.

Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province is considered one of the three key growth poles of Vietnam's southern key economic region. The Cai Mep-Thi Vai Port Complex (CM-TV) serves as a strategic gateway connecting Vietnam to the world, situated on a vital international shipping route linking Northeast Asia, China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America.

Possessing a long-term strategic outlook, SNP embarked on its pioneering journey in the region almost 20 years ago, becoming the first to operate a deep-water port in Vietnam with the Tan Cang - Cai Mep Container Terminal (TCCT) project. The maiden call of the M/V MOL Premium in 2009 (LOA 294m and 73,000 DWT), the largest vessel to call Vietnam’s port at that time, underscored the company's commitment to connecting Vietnam to global maritime networks.

Our dedication to connection and cooperation drives sustainable development in Vietnam and the regional maritime sector

To date, the Cai Mep - Thi Vai (CM-TV) port complex has experienced remarkable growth and expansion, encompassing ports such as SITV (2011), Tan Cang Cai Mep International Terminal (TCIT - 2009), CMIT (2011), Tan Cang Cai Mep ODA Terminal (2014, the predecessor of TCTT), SSIT (2014), and Gemalink (2021). This complex has emerged as one of Southeast Asia's most modern and dynamic port clusters, ranking 7th globally in the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) as announced by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence in June 2024.
Specifically, our Tan Cang Cai Mep deep-water port cluster, comprising TCIT, TCIT, and TCTT, has handled a total throughput of 25 million TEUs and served over 8,000 mother vessels by 2024, collaborating with the world's top 30 shipping lines and connecting to 50 major ports worldwide.
