The Case

Why Van Ninh, Why Now?

  • China–ASEAN trade continues to expand, increasing demand for efficient corridors.
  • Supply chains need shorter, faster, and less congested routes.
  • Quang Ninh is becoming a strategic logistics, industrial, border-trade, and tourism growth pole.
  • Van Ninh is positioned for 5,000–20,000 DWT regional cargo flows.
  • The port complements rather than imitates deep-sea mega ports.

Not the largest port. The right port at the right border.

Strategic Location

At the Heart of the China–Vietnam–ASEAN Trade Corridor

Van Ninh sits at the intersection of maritime trade, border trade, expressway access, and China–ASEAN cargo flows — designed to compress time and cost across the region.

  • Approximately 8 km to the Dongxing international border connection
  • Connected to the Van Don – Mong Cai Expressway
  • Linked to the Bac Luan II bridge corridor
  • Positioned for Guangxi, Yunnan, Vietnam, and ASEAN cargo flows
  • Nanning to ASEAN positioning of approximately 72 hours

A new logistics compression point for China–ASEAN trade.

Sustainability & ESG

Building a Greener Trade Gateway

Efficiency is the foundation of the port's sustainability approach — shorter routes and organized operations reduce waste across the supply chain.

  • Shorter logistics routes can reduce fuel use and transport time.
  • Better truck flow reduces congestion at and around the port.
  • Organized storage zones improve safety and operational efficiency.
  • Cold chain and digital logistics improve cargo preservation.
  • Future green logistics infrastructure may include LNG bunkering and energy-efficient warehousing.
  • Regional development supporting jobs and sustainable border trade.
