Attendees of the event included Mr. Pham Van Ranh – Secretary of Long An Province Party Committee, Mr. Vo Quoc Thang, Chairman of Dong Tam Group and a number of leaders of relevant Departments, leaders of Tan Tap Commune, Can Giuoc District, Long An Province.
The OCEAN SWAGMAN is 136.5m long, with 7,920 DWT in tonnage and registered capacity of 12,892 GRT. The handling time of the ship cargo was estimated at 48 hours. However, with professional staff and modern equipment, Long An International Port managed to shorten the cargo handling time and release the ship 8 hours ahead of schedule.
Mr. Joseph Wann, CEO of Long An International Port expressed his optimism about the 2017 plan of Long An International Port: “We feel honored to welcome the Ocean Swagman at our port, which confirms the business plan in Phase 1 of Long An International Port to be on track. This first ship arrival will be the prerequisite for the port development in 2017, and the cargo volume and ship arrivals are expected to strongly increase because we have managed to persuade many customers to choose Long An International Port as their import and export point. The 2017 plan of Long An International Port is to best serve all arriving cargo carriers and carry out construction of Wharf No. 2.”
OCEAN SWAGMAN ship was scheduled to depart from Long An International Port in the morning of 19 January 2017, and the cargo owner planned to handle the cargo at this port with at least two journeys per month depending on the market demand.
Long An International Port will welcome the official ship arrival in April 2017 to celebrate the 42nd anniversary of South Vietnam Liberation and nation reunification.
