SuperPort Vietnam is set to become a multimodal logistics hub, linking China and Southeast Asia's freight networks with global markets.

On September 14, SuperPort Vietnam announced its new vision at an event attended by leaders from the Vinh Phuc Provincial People’s Committee, members of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council and regional business and association representatives.

SuperPort Vietnam is positioned as a strategic logistics hub connecting supply chains between China and Southeast Asia, with an ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. The development marks a key milestone in strengthening Vietnam’s logistics capabilities while contributing to national climate change goals.

Enhancing supply chain connectivity

During the event, attendees were given a glimpse of SuperPort Vietnam’s future through Apple Vision Pro virtual reality technology. The "Park within a Park" model integrates all supply chain management services across road, rail, air, and sea into a single logistics center, aimed at optimizing regional logistics efficiency.

Dr. Yap Kwong Weng, CEO of SuperPort Vietnam, said, "By leveraging cutting-edge technology and breakthrough logistics solutions, we are improving the flow of goods across the region and setting a new standard for sustainable ports. SuperPort Vietnam will be a key driver of economic growth and enhance regional connectivity through world-class infrastructure."

SuperPort Vietnam is set to become a multimodal logistics hub, linking China and Southeast Asia's freight networks with global markets. The project is expected to boost cross-border trade, strengthen regional integration, and create smarter, more efficient supply chains.

Aiming for net-zero emissions by 2040

SuperPort Vietnam has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, ahead of Vietnam’s national target of 2050 announced at COP26.

The plan includes assessing current emissions, upgrading infrastructure with AI and IoT technologies, installing renewable energy systems, and transitioning to electric vehicles for freight transport by 2030.

Any remaining emissions will be offset through renewable energy credits and carbon credits.

The project also plans to collaborate with YCH Group and the Singapore Logistics and Supply Chain Academy to train 500 logistics professionals, meeting the growing demand for skilled labor as Vietnam becomes a key hub for electronics manufacturing and R&D.

Located in Vinh Phuc, SuperPort Vietnam spans 83 hectares and is being developed by a joint venture between YCH Group, Singapore’s leading provider of supply chain solutions, and T&T Group, one of Vietnam’s top 10 private conglomerates.
