APM Terminals, the terminal operator of the Danish group A.P. Møller-Mærsk has intensified cooperation with the Vietnamese Hateco group, so far limited to the port area, extending it to railway infrastructure. Yesterday the two companies, in the framework of the Vietnam-Denmark Economic Forum held in Copenhagen, have agreed on a partnership to develop a network of rail freight terminals in Haiphong and three other locations in northern Vietnam, with an estimated initial investment equal to about 3.5 billion dollars. The goal is to create a network that connects industrial areas, production centers, logistics and port systems.

The collaboration between Hateco and APM Terminals was inaugurated with the joint development of Hateco Hai Phong International Container Terminal (HHIT), located in the port area of Lach Huyen, in the city of Haiphong, which is became operational last year ( of 27 March 2023 and 23 March 2026). In addition, last April the two parties announced a partnership for the development of the Lien Chieu project International Container Terminal, in the city of Da Nang ( of 27 April 2026).
