en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT) welcomed and successfully operated the vessel "Maersk Cap Jackson" on June 19, marking the maiden voyage of Maersk's TPX independent seasonal service, which directly connects Vietnam, South Korea, and the U.S. West Coast.

The "Maersk Cap Jackson" has a total deadweight tonnage of 59,336 DWT and a carrying capacity of 4,600 TEUs, operating on the route Cai Mep—Busan—Long Beach—Cai Mep. This service is currently the only independent service operated by Maersk on the Trans-Pacific route.

With an average handling efficiency of approximately 120 containers per hour, CMIT completed the loading and unloading of nearly 1,400 TEUs of containerized cargo and empty containers in just over nine hours. The vessel departed safely as scheduled, continuing its voyage to subsequent ports.

A CMIT representative stated that the TPX service's selection of Cai Mep Port as a port of call further affirms international shipping lines' trust in the terminal's operational capabilities, service quality, and capacity to handle deep-sea routes. Currently, CMIT operates nine international routes, several of which directly connect to major markets in the Americas and Europe.

With the cooperation of national regulatory authorities, shipping lines, and maritime ecosystem enterprises, CMIT continues to contribute to the development of the Cai Mep port area. In 2025, according to the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) released by the World Bank and S&P Global, the Cai Mep port area ranked first in Southeast Asia and eleventh globally among over 400 participating container ports worldwide.
