The CMA CGM Group, in partnership with Gemadept, has launched Phase 2 of the Gemalink container terminal expansion in Cai Mep, southern Vietnam. This project aims to double the terminal’s annual capacity from 1.7 million to 3 million TEUs by 2027.
The expansion works include extending the existing quay by 450 meters and increasing the container yard area from 32 to 44 hectares. To support this increased infrastructure, the terminal will add five Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes, bringing the total to 13 units, along with additional yard equipment.
These technical upgrades are designed to accommodate growing volumes and enhance the operational efficiency of the terminal, which has been operating at full capacity since its opening in 2021.CMA CGM, which holds a 25% stake in the terminal, has maintained a presence in Vietnam since 1989 and currently operates 29 weekly services across seven national ports.
