Developing green, smart, modern Ports
The cargo throughput at Lach Huyen deep-water port in recent years has increased from nearly 700,000 TEU in 2021 to more than 1.6 million TEU by 2024. With the most bustling trade activities through the seaport in the North, Hai Phong city has affirmed its position as one of the leading industrial and port service centers in the region
The remarkable achievements have been attributed to the right orientation for developing green, smart and modern ports.
Since June this year, Hateco Hai Phong International Container Terminal (HHIT) has put automatic gate into operation, vehicle turnaround time has been reduced to the initial expected level. The automatic OCR system of STS shore cranes has been deployed with the operating efficiency of over 90%, gradually moving towards full automation for STS shore cranes, which will then maximize efficiency and productivity. In the spirit of the orientation of becoming the leading green and smart development port in the North, HHIT has made efforts to minimize fossil fuel consumption to reduce pollution and promote the use of renewable energy sources. Currently, 100% of STS and RTG cranes are powered by electricity. The port makes full use of 100% of the open space on the roof of the building by installing a solar power complex with the total average capacity reaches 50,000 kWh/ month, ensuring 75% of the monthly electricity consumption for the office building and auxiliary works. The port has also promoted the application of automation technology and AI in its operations. After 2 terminals are launched, all deep-water terminals in Lach Huyen port have been built in accordance with Hai Phong city's policy on developing green and smart seaports, thereby increasingly improving productivity and output.
