Key gateway ports: Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai & Cai Mep–Thi Vai), Hai Phong, Da Nang and Qui Nhon. Typical port‑to‑port transit times:
Trade lane | Example route | Transit (days)* |

Weekly consolidations depart major origin hubs, giving SMEs and e‑commerce exporters cost control without tying up capital in full boxes.
Typical LCL users: fashion labels shipping garments from Spain, industrial suppliers sending parts from Germany, or Vietnamese diaspora firms sending samples from the U.S.
When speed outweighs cost, we move freight to SGN (Ho Chi Minh), HAN (Hanoi) or DAD (Da Nang) in 2 – 5 days worldwide—ideal for prototypes, high‑value electronics or delayed orders.
