Once completed, the terminal’s capacity will increase from 1.7m teu to
approximately 3m teu, with full completion expected in 2027. This expansion includes extending the
existing quay by 450 m in two phases, expanding the container yard from 320,000
to 440,000 sq m, and adding five ship-to-shore cranes, bringing the total to
13.
This development will enable the terminal to
support the growth of import/export flows in a region at the heart of Asian
supply chains.
Since entering service in 2021, Gemalink has established itself as one
of the most efficient terminals in the Vung Tau region and in Vietnam. The
terminal is currently operating at full capacity. This accelerated ramp-up
confirms the asset’s strategic relevance within CMA CGM’s logistics network and
its ability to accommodate growing volumes.
“This expansion will increase Gemalink’s capacity
up to 3m teu by the fourth quarter of 2027, consolidating Vietnam’s role in
global supply chains and its vision to become a leading maritime logistics hub
in Southeast Asia by 2050,” said Christine Cabau Woehrel, EVP for operations
and assets at CMA CGM.
This expansion is fully aligned with the long-term strategy of
strengthening CMA CGM’s footprint in Vietnam, where the company has been
present since 1989. The company runs 29
weekly services across seven ports in the country, connecting major global
destinations through an intermodal network powered by CEVA Logistics.
