On September 9, Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT) and Tan Cang–Cai Mep Thi Vai Terminal (TCTT) successfully welcomed the Zim Shenzhen vessel to their joint 1,200-meter berth, marking a significant milestone in Vietnam's port infrastructure. The two terminals collaborated to receive and operate the 335.23-meter-long Zim Shenzhen, which carries a deadweight tonnage of 102,517 DWT.
Under the supervision of the Vietnam Maritime and Waterways Administration and the HCMC Maritime Administration, the vessel was safely handled for about a day. During this period, CMIT and TCTT jointly loaded and unloaded approximately 3,200 TEU of cargo and empty containers, ensuring the vessel's timely departure. This unprecedented cooperation in Vietnam's container port operations represents a major breakthrough in berth connectivity and the integration of operational capacity between two independent port enterprises.
The linked berth line between CMIT and TCTT optimizes existing infrastructure, enhances coordination flexibility, and strengthens the port cluster's ability to handle large mother ships.
