Project sources

Port of Hai Phong's Lach Huyen berth 4 opening includes distinct barge and tug wharves. Later owner records describe conditional larger-ship reception and actual terminal services while preserving the different full-load and partial-load bases.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Port of Hai Phong Joint Stock Company
Delivery parties
The operating notices leave the civil contractor unspecified. The owner-hosted June 2026 account describes HTIT Port as the lessee and operator of berths 3 and 4.
Contract route
Port of Hai Phong is the infrastructure investor. Its June 2026 hosted account describes a lease to HTIT for terminal operation. The cited opening and ship-reception records establish operating stages; the civil procurement and lease terms require their own contracts.
Execution window
Decision 400 is cited as dated 15 April 2025 in the owner's 17 April announcement. The owner reports Letter 8368 of 14 August 2025 approving in principle partially laden ships up to 165,000 DWT at berths 3 and 4. HTIT's Pearl service launched on 9 October 2026, reported on 10 October.
Works package
Berth 4: 375 m container quay; perpendicular 150 m barge wharf described for barges up to 160 TEU; parallel 50 m service wharf for tug docking. The ministry-hosted April report describes tugs up to 4,600 HP. Berth 3 belongs to the related two-berth programme.
Marine interfaces
Container-ship reception, the barge approach and tug departure require a coordinated movement plan. The ministry-hosted opening account links ship reception to the channel, turning area and associated technical conditions.
Commercial evidence boundary
The April opening describes 100,000 DWT fully laden for berth 4; the later 165,000-DWT owner notice explicitly says partially laden. The August account ties reception to technical requirements in Letter 1781 and excludes requests for ministry-funded public marine-infrastructure upgrades. Cargo loading and the released approach conditions therefore affect the service the terminal can plan.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Original opening/reception instruments and technical letter 1781
  • Current approved approach and turning conditions, survey datum, arrival draught and tug plan
  • Any subsequent 200,000-DWT permission and berth-specific handover records
