Danish conglomerate A.P. Moller Holding is planning to invest in deepwater ports and logistics infrastructure throughout Vietnam, with the goal of establishing the country as a vital hub in Southeast Asia’s supply chain network. Vietnamese Prime Minister met with the chairman of A.P. Moller Holding and Maersk in September 2024 to discuss potential investment opportunities in Vietnam.
The company recognizes Vietnam’s vast potential and is keen to contribute to the nation’s development, commending the government’s initiatives to enhance the business environment and attract foreign investments. Highlighting the company’s existing partnerships in Vietnam, including those with Samsung and Hateco Group, the chairman stressed Maersk and A.P. Moller Terminals’ long-term vision for the region.
The Prime Minister acknowledged A.P. Moller and Maersk’s contributions to Vietnam’s maritime sector since the 1990s, emphasizing their capital resources, technological expertise, and management capabilities as crucial factors in economic growth.
Vietnam’s extensive coastline, exceeding 3,200 km, positions the country among the top 20 economies in international trade, making the enhancement of logistics infrastructure vital for reducing costs and boosting global competitiveness.
The company was also invited to explore key infrastructure projects that Vietnam is actively promoting, such as Lien Chieu Port in Da Nang, Can Gio International Port in Ho Chi Minh City, and various ports in northern and central regions.
A.P. Moller Holding has over 120 years of experience and operates in more than 130 countries across various sectors, employing over 100,000 individuals. Its subsidiary, Maersk, is the world’s largest integrated logistics services provider, offering digital solutions to address global supply chain challenges. Another key subsidiary, A.P. Moller Terminals, manages a comprehensive global network of 62 container terminals.
