Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tai - Director of Nghi Thiet Cement Grinding Station and Seaport (Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company) happily said that immediately after the decision to open Vissai wharf, many customers registered for cargo ships to dock at the port to receive clinker and cement. With a large volume of goods, transporting clinker and cement by waterway is very convenient. That is also one of the reasons for Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company to speed up the progress and soon put the specialized wharf into operation.

According to Mr. Tai, with the current capacity, Vissai wharf can export 2,000 - 3,000 tons per hour, equivalent to over 250,000 tons of clinker and cement per month. To increase cargo handling capacity, Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company is quickly completing the second conveyor line on the wharf. Along with that, the second cement grinding line is also being gradually completed near Vissai wharf.

Thus, right in Nghi Thiet area (Nghi Loc), Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company can now supply products such as: Clinker, bulk cement, bagged cement of various types PCB30, PCB40, PC50. Up to now, The Vissai Cement Group has 7 clinker and cement factories with an annual capacity of over 20 million tons. This unit also has more than 1,000 specialized transport vehicles and a river fleet with a capacity of over 50,000 tons and sea transport of over 100,000 tons.

These capabilities demonstrate the ability to meet the needs of domestic and foreign customers with the best products and the highest quality of service. Currently, The Vissai Cement Group's products have reached out to the large international market, exported to 50 countries and territories, affirming the international stature of The Vissai brand.

The early opening of Vissai international port to accommodate ships of over 70,000 tons will contribute to increasing the production and business capacity of Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company and The Vissai Cement Group.

Through the discussion, Mr. Nguyen Trung Hau - General Director of Song Lam Cement Joint Stock Company affirmed: "In addition to focusing on the quality of manufactured products, the unit increases the ability to meet the loading and unloading of goods both on land and by waterway. With Vissai wharf, the company thoroughly instructs officers and workers to ensure the best operation, provide the fastest goods to ships when receiving goods, contributing to the quick release of ships, bringing Vissai products to all regions".

The benefits of Vissai port not only benefit the group but also impact the socio-economic development of Nghe An and the provinces in the North Central region. As affirmed by the leaders of Nghe An province at the port opening ceremony: “This is a very important event for Nghe An province.

Along with the port system in Cua Lo Port Cluster, Vissai Nghe An International Seaport is a gateway for trade, an important traffic hub, serving the transportation and exchange of goods of Nghe An province with other provinces in the country and countries around the world by sea.

The completion and operation of the deep-water seaport will create a synchronous, diverse and dynamic transport infrastructure chain, creating a strong driving force to promote socio-economic development, maintain national defense and security for the province and the North Central region.
