  "account": "A new direct container shipping route has been established between Nanning, China, and Can Tho, Vietnam. This new freight corridor connects the southwestern region of China with Vietnam's Mekong Delta, offering businesses additional logistics options. On September 24, a ceremony was held at Cai Cui Port in Vietnam to mark the launch of the route. The first vessel, with a deadweight tonnage of 4,900 DWT and a capacity of 500 TEUs, departed from Nanning Port in Guangxi, China. The vessel navigated through the Pinglu Canal, Gulf of Tonkin, and Hau River before arriving at Can Tho Port. The route is expected to operate twice a month, with a voyage time of approximately seven days. This direct shipping route aims to enhance trade connectivity between Vietnam and China, provide businesses with another logistics option, and unlock the cargo potential of both regions.",
