Representatives of VINALIFT and VPCC signed the contract for the supply of three 45-ton fixed pedestal cranes for Hon La Port — a strategic seaport in Vietnam’s North-Central Economic Zone.

The cranes are designed and manufactured to international standards, featuring modern control systems, high safety, and energy efficiency, contributing to improved cargo handling capacity at the port and fostering regional economic growth.

VINALIFT and VPCC have successfully collaborated on major projects such as Song Lam Port and the Chan May Logistics Center. This mutual trust and close cooperation form the foundation for the Hon La Port project to deliver results beyond expectations.

“VPCC and VINALIFT previously worked together successfully on the Song Lam International Port project — the most important seaport in Nghe An province, serving as the main gateway for import and export cargo of the province and neighboring Laos. VINALIFT’s cranes exceeded our expectations in terms of productivity and operational stability; while cranes at other ports typically operate at or below rated capacity, the two pedestal cranes at Song Lam Port have achieved up to 150% capacity. This success provided a solid foundation for VPCC to continue trusting VINALIFT as the equipment supplier for the Hon La Port project. We believe this project will enhance the capacity of seaports in the North-Central region and contribute to local economic development and improved livelihoods.”

Industry Perspective & Key Figures

“The Vietnam Association of Mechanical Industry always encourages and accompanies enterprises in enhancing production capacity, mastering technology, and expanding markets. Today’s event shows that VINALIFT is not only affirming its position in the lifting equipment sector but also demonstrating the competitiveness of Vietnam’s mechanical industry. It is a positive sign that domestic mechanical enterprises are fully capable of undertaking large-scale projects, meeting international standards, and effectively serving port infrastructure development.”

According to the Ministry of Transport, Vietnam’s seaport system handled a total cargo volume of 755 million tons in 2024, up 4% from 2023. The North-Central region’s cargo throughput is projected to grow by 6–7% annually between 2025 and 2030 (Source: Ministry of Transport, 2024 Logistics Report).

The UNCTAD Review of Maritime Transport 2024 also notes that demand for cargo handling equipment in emerging Asian economies is expected to grow by over 5% per year, creating significant opportunities for domestic manufacturers like VINALIFT.
