en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the first five months of 2026, Vietnam's seaports and inland waterway ports handled over 546 million tons of cargo, an increase of 15% compared to the same period last year.

During the same period, container throughput exceeded 15 million TEUs, up 14% year-on-year. The Vietnam Maritime and Inland Waterway Administration has requested seaport and inland waterway port management agencies and operators to accelerate cargo release processes, reduce administrative procedures, and improve conditions for vessels and cargo passing through ports.

The agency noted that these measures aim to reduce operational costs, improve working conditions, and provide support for enterprises using Vietnam's port system.

With the growth in port throughput, major ports and shipping operators also saw revenue increases in the first quarter. Hai Phong Port recorded consolidated net revenue of nearly VND 745 billion (approximately USD 28.3 million) in the first quarter of 2026, up 29% year-on-year.

Vietnam Maritime Corporation (VIMC) reported consolidated net revenue from sales and services of over VND 6.61 trillion (approximately USD 251.3 million) in the same period, up more than 76% year-on-year.

The Vietnam Maritime and Inland Waterway Administration, under the Ministry of Construction, is responsible for national maritime and inland waterway management, covering port operations, safety supervision, administrative procedures, and industry statistics.
