HÀ NỘI — The 'super port' ICD Vĩnh Phúc (Vietnam SuperPort™), developed by a joint venture between T&T Group and Singapore’s YCH Group, has announced its digital transformation roadmap.

The roadmap, unveiled at the Việt Nam Innovation Day 2024 in Hà Nội on Tuesday, aims to drive efficiency and sustainability in the logistics sector, enhancing the delivery of fast-paced goods and services and increasing trade flows through the leverage of cutting-edge technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI).

During the event, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính, Singapore's Ambassador to Việt Nam, Jaya Ratnam, and senior leaders visited the Vietnam SuperPort™ exhibition to explore its visionary approach to creating a modern, smart, and connected logistics hub in Southeast Asia.

As the flagship port in the ASEAN Smart Logistics Network (ASLN), Vietnam SuperPort™ plays a crucial role in strengthening trade flows between Việt Nam, the ASEAN–China region, and beyond. By serving as a strategic logistics hub, Vietnam SuperPort™ connects Việt Nam more deeply to global supply chains and positions the country as a critical player in regional trade. Its symbiotic role with Việt Nam’s economy drives the country’s growth in the global value chain, enabling it to “grow without growing pains™” by providing seamless logistics solutions that match the demands of a rapidly expanding economy.

Vietnam SuperPort™ is committed to co-developing new technologies with world-class partners to meet the growing demand for faster, more efficient logistics solutions. In collaboration with Singapore’s YCH Group, the plan includes AI-driven automation, warehouse robotics, and transport management solutions. These advanced technologies will enhance operational workflows, accelerate order fulfilment, and improve inventory control.

With nearly 70 years of industry leadership, YCH Group is a trusted partner in supply chain development, showcasing expertise in AI integration, transport optimisation, and cross-border trade through Singapore’s Supply Chain City™, co-created with global partners.

“Vietnam SuperPort™ underscores T&T Group and YCH Group’s commitment to sustainable growth and long-term competitiveness. By embracing cutting-edge technologies like AI-powered automation and blockchain, Vietnam SuperPort™ is enhancing Việt Nam’s logistics capabilities and staying at the forefront of supply chain innovation in the ASEAN region,” said Đỗ Quang Hiển, Founder and Chairman of the Strategic Committee at T&T Group.

Vietnam SuperPort™ collaborates with leading global technology firms to create a comprehensive digital ecosystem that integrates AI-based warehouse management software for real-time inventory tracking, demand prediction, and performance measurement. This initiative, backed by Y3 Technologies' proprietary suite, is designed to optimise logistics efficiency across the region.

In addition to operational enhancements, Vietnam SuperPort™ aims to strengthen Việt Nam’s supply chain connectivity and sustainability. Its AI-powered logistics marketplace will serve as a global platform, linking SMEs, financial institutions, and logistics providers, offering enhanced transparency and facilitating access to capital for businesses. Vietnam SuperPort™ will also develop a blockchain-based ESG management system to track carbon emissions, supporting its goal of becoming Southeast Asia’s first net-zero logistics hub by 2040.

“Our digital transformation plan aligns with Việt Nam’s national strategy to develop a smart, competitive, and sustainable logistics industry by 2035. This partnership and technological advancement will reinforce Việt Nam’s role as a critical player in the regional supply chain,” said Dr Yap Kwong Weng, CEO of Vietnam SuperPort™.

It aims to enhance Việt Nam's integration into global supply chains, reduce logistics costs, and boost the country’s competitive edge in international trade.
