The Sunrise 69 V. FR03/2017 carried nearly 10,000 tonnes of fertilizers from Fangcheng Port (China) to Long An International Port (Vietnam) in the morning of 3 May 2017. The laytime of Sunrise 69 at Long An International Port was scheduled from 3/5/2017 to 9/5/2017.

In addition, on 5 May 2017, Long An International Port also welcomed and handled cargo for the Ocean Swagman livestock carrier, bound for Vietnam from Australia. Previously, this vessel had landed and handled cargo at Long An International Port last January. The arrival at the same time of the two vessels at the port was a considerable challenge for Long An International Port because the port was just partially operational and still under construction. However, with the professionalism, efforts of the staff and experience in handling live animals, Long An International Port confidently released the Ocean Swagman in just one day and night, ensuring the progress of the Sunrise 69 accordingly.

Loading and unloading cargo from Sunrise 69

Mekong Delta with key commodities such as agricultural products and rice has very great demand for fertilizer. Therefore, fertilizer is a potential market for Long An International Port. Fertilizer products from Long An International Port can be easily transported to the Mekong Delta by both waterway and by road. In addition, with its spacious harbor and modern large-scale warehouse system, Long An International Port will help customers reduce their lay time and provide them with better warehousing service. Furthermore, Long An International Port conveniently located at the transition area of the East and South West regions will contribute to reducing transportation costs as well as lay time for both customers and carriers because cargo does not go through Ho Chi Minh City ports which are currently overloaded and much farther from the Mekong Delta region.

While the Sunrise 69 was at the port, many fertilizer import-export companies came sightseeing the actual handling work and were very impressed with the professional handling and packaging procedures at Long An International Port. Representatives of these companies also expressed their wish to cooperate with Long An International Port in their fertilizer business.
