Integrated container logistics company A.P. Moller-Maersk is strengthening its contract logistics and distribution capabilities in Vietnam with three new facilities coming into operation in Song Than and Bac Ninh.
These warehouses, together with the other 11 self-managed facilities in the country, will enhance Maersk’s logistics capacity for future growth in Vietnam, the firm said in a release.
“Contract Logistics and Distribution is a crucial component in our customers’ supply chains. By connecting and simplifying logistics and services solutions, our customers can benefit from our seamless end-to-end offerings to optimize their supply chains,” said Marco Civardi, managing director of Maersk Vietnam, Cambodia & Myanmar.
He said the company’s logistics footprint in the Southeast Asian country has significant increased with the addition in the last quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021 of the three warehouses totaling 38,000 square meters.
The three new facilities are fully equipped with multiple racking systems, strong rooms, security cameras and sprinkler systems. They are expected to improve inventory management experience for clients from Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam as well as enable Maersk’s clientele to have a more efficient supply chain.
The new distribution centers in Song Than offer premium contract logistics and distribution service to support the trade growth in South Vietnam. These two facilities, located 25 kilometers (km) from Ho Chi Minh City, are 10,000 sqm and 9,700 sqm in size, respectively, and will cater to the increasing demand from customers in the tech, fast-moving consumer goods and retail sectors, where inventory management and cargo flow control are essential to their supply chains.
Maersk is also expanding the scale of its new facility in Bac Ninh, 23 km from the capital of Hanoi and 120 km from the Hai Phong port, in North Vietnam.
At around 18,000 sqm, Maersk Bac Ninh 15# is situated next to Maersk Bac Ninh 16#, another Maersk distribution center which was officially opened in December 2019.
By scaling up the area to a combined 29,000 sqm, the Bac Ninh facilities will enable Maersk to offer end-to-end solutions to customers located in the increasingly strategic area of North Vietnam, where enhanced infrastructures not only allow a more effective national connectivity but also support trade growth, said the company.
