HSC estimates that the volume of goods through this port in the first quarter of 2024 will reach 352,000 TEUs, an increase of about 110%. This impressive growth is thanks to recovering demand and increased market share when Gemalink port receives new ships from other ports since the fourth quarter of 2023.

According to estimates by the Vietnam Seaport Association, Gemadept's ports in Hai Phong received and handled 179,000 TEUs in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 27% compared to the first quarter of 2023 thanks to improved demand.
