VIMC plans to liquidate 10 ships with total tonnage of 244,568 DWT this year and invest in two used container ships with capacity ranging from 1,700 TEU to 2,200 TEU. The corporation also aims to reach consolidated revenues of VND10.828 trillion and pre-tax profit of VND944 billion. By the end of the second quarter, VIMC had achieved 56 percent of its annual revenue target and 135 percent of its pre-tax profit target.

In terms of shipping, VIMC has strengthened investment in the fleet to increase transport capacity. In the first half of the year, the demand for coal and ore transportation increased due to production recovery in some countries in the region. To take advantage of opportunities and meet the demand, VIMC’s transport businesses adopted numerous solutions to improve capacity.

According to a Vinaship Joint Stock Company report, the company reached net revenues and after-tax profit of VND240 billion and nearly VND66 billion in the second quarter of 2021, bringing the total to VND387 billion and VND69.2 billion in the first half of the year, respectively.

Data from the Vietnam Ocean Shipping Joint Stock Company (Vosco) showed that the company reached after-tax profit of VND220 billion in the first half of the year, the highest since 2009.

In terms of seaport operations, VIMC has paid greater attention to investing in deep-water ports to accommodate super-long and super-heavy ships, contributing to greater cooperation with foreign partners. The corporation has also implemented solutions to promote customer care services and enhance service capacity.
