Vietnam’s Truong Hai Group (Thaco) has submitted a proposal to the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council to invest in the Cai Mep Ha General and Container Port project.

Part of the Cai Mep–Thi Vai port complex, Cai Mep Ha will cover 1,736 hectares, including a logistics center, port facilities, and warehouses.

Located in Tan Phuoc ward of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Phu My township in Ba Ria–Vung Tau province), the port is strategically positioned to serve the southern economic hub, following the recent merger of Ba Ria–Vung Tau, Binh Duong, and Ho Chi Minh City into an expanded Ho Chi Minh City.

The Cai Mep–Thi Vai complex currently operates seven container terminals with a combined design capacity of 7.66 million TEUs annually. However, actual throughput has consistently exceeded this figure, averaging more than eight million TEUs in recent years and setting a record of 10.98 million TEUs in 2024, mostly handled by Cai Mep terminals.

The Cai Mep Ha project has long attracted interest from major investors, including a Geleximco–ITC–SCIC consortium, IMG Innovations, Tan Dai Duong International, and Sun Group.
