About the history of formation
Haiphong port was built in 1874 by the French to serve the supply of the expeditionary army. By the beginning of 1939, the port had handled 23% of Indochina’s imports and exports.
In 1956, the port officially became an enterprise managed and operated by the Shipping Industry. After more than 10 years of operation, the management of the port was transferred to the Shipping Department.
At the end of 2007, Hai Phong port switched to the operating model of a limited liability company under Vietnam Maritime Corporation. However, after a short time, in 2014, the port officially converted to a joint stock company model. Up to now, the operation of the port is still managed and operated by Hai Phong Port Joint Stock Company.
