Dear Valuable Customers,
First of all, I would like to express our appreciation of your
kindly support given us for the last few years. Regarding the
construction progress of the Phu My Bridge, I would like to
update you as follows:
Phu My Bridge two side span connection has been completed and
airdraft opened up to 43m effective June 8, 2009. As a result,
all vessels are allowed to freely sail in and out of VICT. By
end of August, the airdraft will be further untied to 45m. The
bridge will be officially open to traffic by end of the year
when three approaching roads are completed.
Phu My Bridge would significantly enhance VICT strategic
location in Southern Vietnam. It would be beneficial most to
those manufactures located in Thu Duc area, Dong Nai Province
and Binh Duong Province because cargo can be transported
directly to VICT through the bridge instead of passing through
the City. Not only trucking cost but also transportation time
could be saved to a great extent. Most of the customers are
expecting the official inauguration of the bridge.
Taking this opportunity, I would also like to update you VICT’s
latest situation as follows:
-
192m new wharf was completed and officially operational in end
May 2009 with two brand new Gantry Cranes. Total aggregated
wharf length became 678m with seven Gantry Cranes along by four
berths. The quayside productivity is guaranteed to reach 25
moves per crane per hour and 50 moves per hour per vessel.
-
10 pieces of brand new RTGs (Kalmar 1 over 6 high and 6+1
width Rubber- Tire Gantry) was operational in Jan 2009. These
new equipment enable us not only the increase of quayside
productivity but also the reduction of gate turn time.
Currently, the gate turn time is down to 30 minutes or less for
both container in-gate and out-gate.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused to your good
company during the Saigon River airdraft limitation period. We
do appreciate it of your kindly understanding and support. Our
continuous improvement would surely serve you better, especially
after our final phase expansion plan completed. Please kindly
check with us should you have any query and we look forward to
serving you again soon.
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Eddie Hsu
Manager, Business Development Dept.
