Vietnam’s Long An port receives People Development recognition at global maritime bulk shipping awards

The international port, located in Tay Ninh Province in southern Vietnam, became the first Vietnamese enterprise to receive this honor on Monday, according to a press release issued the same day.

The recognition marks a breakthrough for Long An International Port as it seeks to promote the cultural, social and economic values of Vietnam and contribute to raising the country's global profile.

It also further reinforces the reputation of Vietnamese logistics on the global stage.

The International Bulk Journal Awards are presented by the UK-based International Bulk Journal, a magazine covering the maritime dry bulk industry for over 40 years.

The awards recognize individuals and organizations for outstanding achievements in the maritime bulk sector.

Vo Quoc Huy, chairman and CEO of Long An International Port, said the team was proud to be recognized among organizations, businesses, and industry peers from around the world.

“We want the international community to know that Vietnamese enterprises continue to strive for excellence and to reach new heights,” Huy stated. 

“For us, people are our most valuable asset and the foundation of every success.

“Building a people-centered workplace is key to advancing further and creating positive impacts in the community.”

Throughout its formation and development, Long An International Port has built a long-term human resources strategy, prioritizing training and management skill development.

It also focuses on comprehensive employee welfare, encourages innovation, and fosters a dynamic, modern work environment.

These efforts have improved operational efficiency and service quality, enhancing port performance and contributing to the socio-economic development of the local area and the wider region.

“The development of Long An International Port has created a positive ripple effect, encouraging and promoting collaboration between local authorities, businesses, and educational institutions, helping to shape a sustainable logistics ecosystem in Tay Ninh,” Huy added.

The 1,935-hectare Long An International Port project cluster in Tan Tap Commune, Tay Ninh Province represents the seamless integration of a seaport service complex with supporting facilities, laying the foundation for a future industrial ecosystem.

The project includes a port zone, an industrial park, an industrial service area, and an urban area.

Currently, the port zone operates seven berths with a total length of 1,670 meters, capable of accommodating vessels up to 70,000 DWT.

In the near future, Long An International Port plans to expand to nine berths, with a continuous length of 2,368 meters, handling vessels over 100,000 DWT and achieving a throughput capacity of 3 million TEU or 10 million tons of general cargo.
