At exactly 7am on January 29, the first day of Tết, a shipment of 35 tonnes of mangoes from An Nguyễn Import-Export Company underwent export clearance procedures as the first consignment of the Year of Snake through the Kim Thành International Road Border Gate II.

This year, Lào Cai Province has directed relevant units to implement comprehensive strategies to attract exporting enterprises, enhance customs clearance capabilities and strive to achieve a total export-import value of goods through Lào Cai border gates amounting to US$9 billion.

Meanwhile, in HCM City, significant efforts have been made to facilitate exports.

Saigon Newport Corporation, one of the leading port companies, has kickstarted the year by organising cargo operations at Cát Lái Port in Thủ Đức City.

The port received seven container ships on New Year's Eve, with a total cargo handling capacity of nearly 10,000 TEUs, equivalent to 140,000 tonnes.

The first container loaded onto the CNC CHEETAH vessel was carrying electronic goods destined for Shekou, Dalian and Ningbo in China.

Electronic goods play a crucial role in helping HCM City's export revenue surpass $46 billion.

During the first week of the Lunar New Year, the port is expected to handle 76 cargo ships, processing over 110,000 TEUs, equivalent to more than 1.5 million tonnes of goods, marking a 9 per cent increase year-on-year.

To support production activities over this festive period, each shift at Tân Cảng - Cát Lái Port involves over 1,100 workers, ensuring smooth import and export operations.

Saigon Newport has persified its business by adding new pillars focusing on investments, industrial park development, maritime tourism services and offshore renewable energy.

With these strategies in place, the company aims to increase revenue and profits by 5 per cent, with logistics services projected to grow by over 15 per cent compared to last year.
