Open international container route

Although there are a number of seaports in the Central region, as a professional international port with nearly 70 years of operation, connecting with countries and territories, Nghe Tinh Port has always reached out to create a certain position in the role of a bridge supporting production and business for enterprises in the region and neighboring Laos. Goods passing through the port each year are 3 - 4 million tons; meeting the requirements for import and export of goods associated with logistics services.

On May 5, 2022, a major event for Vietnam National Shipping Lines in general and Nghe Tinh Port in particular was the restoration of the international container shipping route after a long period of interruption of the container route at Cua Lo Port, connecting the receipt and delivery of goods of businesses to international seaports.

This event opens up a new direction for Vietnam's maritime transport and establishes many shipping routes from the Central region of Vietnam directly to ports around the world. On May 5, 2022, the Bien Dong Mariner ship with a capacity of more than 1,000 Teus docked at Cua Lo Port (about 23,000 tons), successfully unloaded and transported goods to India. This is the first time Cua Lo Port has welcomed an international container ship, having previously operated a container shipping route.

Speaking about this event, Mr. Le Quang Trung - Deputy General Director of Vietnam National Shipping Lines (VIMC) said: This is an extremely important event, affirming the position of Cua Lo Port - an international seaport, a cargo transportation hub of the North Central Coast seaport group. With a wharf length of more than 1 km, capable of receiving ships from 10,000 tons fully loaded to 30,000 tons (DWT), along with many advanced loading and unloading equipment, a modern warehouse system, Cua Lo Port continues to affirm its indispensable role in the integration journey of Nghe An province and other provinces in the region, at the same time, becoming a strategic link in the logistics chain of Vietnam National Shipping Lines. Next, the second successful international container ship also left Cua Lo Port on its journey to India.

On July 27, 2022, at the Online Conference to launch the sea route connecting Central Vietnam with India, Counselor and Head of the Trade Office of the Vietnamese Embassy in India Bui Trung Thuong said that India is Vietnam's 8th largest trading partner and bilateral trade is likely to reach the target of 15 billion USD in 2022 - the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and India. However, despite the huge trade potential between the two sides, one of the bottlenecks is traffic connectivity, especially the lack of a direct sea route connecting the two countries. Therefore, the sea route connecting the Central region of Vietnam and Kolkata, India, operated by Vietnam National Shipping Lines, will open up great business cooperation opportunities for Vietnamese and Indian enterprises.

Promote patriotic emulation movement

On December 5, 1979, the Prime Minister allowed the construction of Cua Lo Port with the scale of an international seaport. This was an important event for the people of Nghe An province, a milestone on the development path of Nghe Tinh Port.

Over nearly 70 years of establishment and growth, the emulation movement and spirit of dedicated work have always been lit and continued among generations of cadres, workers and laborers of Nghe Tinh Port.

These days, coming to Cua Lo Port, the main production area of ​​Nghe Tinh Port, the production atmosphere is bustling with ships carrying stone, coal, and wood chips through the port. The loading and unloading team works urgently, enthusiastically, responsibly, and disciplined...

International integration requires modern machinery, new loading and unloading equipment, developed information technology, and high level of qualifications and responsibility of the workforce.

Having worked at Cua Lo Port for nearly 15 years, worker Thai Ba Hung said: “I work in the cargo handling department and have a stable income. The company and factory leaders always take care of my material and spiritual life. Every year, my family gets to go on vacation, and insurance, medical examination, and occupational safety are guaranteed... In terms of work, the hardest part is in the summer, when we work outdoors, but we always strictly follow the regulations during the shift (6 hours/shift) to release the goods as quickly as possible.”

At Nghe Tinh Port, the emulation movement in labor and production is always responded to and spread. Every month and every quarter, based on the emulation movement launched by the Union Chairman and the General Director of the company, the departmental unions will preside over the collection of outstanding achievements and send them to the Standing Committee of the Emulation Committee and the Union Office to propose timely rewards, as well as to serve as a basis for year-end emulation evaluation.

The emulation movement to promote initiatives and technical improvements in labor and production, and to build a green, clean, and beautiful working environment throughout the company continues to focus on the following criteria: Saving resources, port environmental quality, greening seaports, using clean energy at ports, treating waste at ports, applying 4.0 technology, etc.

Along with proposing drastic solutions to overcome difficulties, maintain and stabilize production and business, the Board of Directors, Executive Board and Trade Union of the company always pay special attention to the work of ensuring jobs, wages, rights, welfare, regimes and policies; strictly implementing the regulations on democracy at the workplace; launching patriotic emulation movements with specific and practical goals.

Promoting the tradition of sustainable values ​​of a branded enterprise, Nghe Tinh Port is creating jobs for 454 workers. In addition, closely coordinating with the port authority, Cua Lo Border Guard Station has done a good job of ensuring security and safety of the port, creating the best conditions for ships coming and going in Uncle Ho's homeland.
