- Cai Lan Port Investment Joint Stock Company is a Vietnam-based maritime logistics and port infrastructure enterprise that engages in the investment, construction, development, and operation of seaport terminal facilities. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam, the company operates within the network of the Vietnam Maritime Corporation (VIMC), alongside founding shareholders including Quang Ninh Port Joint Stock Company and Geleximco Group. The company carries out primary terminal operations through Cai Lan International Container Terminal Co., Ltd. (CICT), an operating joint venture established with SSA Holdings International - Vietnam, a subsidiary of the US-based Carrix Group, to operate Berths 2, 3, and 4 at Cai Lan Deep-Water Port.
The company provides an integrated suite of port operations, cargo processing, and supply chain logistics services organized into several primary categories: container and bulk cargo handling services, including vessel stevedoring, lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) operations, roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vehicle handling, and the discharge and loading of dry bulk and breakbulk goods such as agricultural commodities, fertilizers, animal feed, woodchips, and steel products; warehousing and terminal yard storage solutions, including bonded warehousing, container yard (CY) storage, container freight station (CFS) cargo consolidation and deconsolidation, open-air industrial storage, and temperature-controlled reefer monitoring; multimodal transportation and freight forwarding, comprising inland road haulage, coastal feeder transport, inland waterway barging across the Northern Vietnam river network, and domestic distribution; maritime support and port agency services, including vessel mooring, tugboat assistance, ship provisioning, customs brokerage, and cargo inspection support; and equipment and real estate leasing, comprising the rental of specialized port handling equipment, cranes, forklifts, open yards, and warehouse facilities.
In recent developments, Cai Lan Port Investment Joint Stock Company has undertaken operational restructuring and commercial diversification to expand beyond dedicated container services into high-volume bulk and general cargo handling, driving a substantial recovery in revenue and profitability. The company has actively engaged with maritime administration bodies on channel maintenance and dredging initiatives along the Hon Gai - Cai Lan navigational fairway to preserve operational draft and facilitate calls by larger-tonnage ocean vessels. Furthermore, the company is positioning its terminal and logistics assets to integrate with major regional transport infrastructure expansions in Northern Vietnam, including the planned Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong - Cai Lan rail corridor and inland container depot connections, while continuously enhancing cargo handling productivity within its CICT terminal joint venture.
