To quote Felix Nguyen, the Managing Director of Headway JSC, “In general, through the achievements and development strategies in new markets, typically through Mong Cai border gate, Headway comprehensively meets the increasing demand of customers for transporting frozen goods, while creating conditions for sustainable development for Vietnam’s logistics to shine in the international market.”

Mr Nguyen further explains that according to a report from Mong Cai International Border Gate Management Board, as of June 15, 2023, the total weight of imported and exported goods through Mong Cai border gate reached nearly 753,000 tons, up 265% over the same period last year. “This opens up opportunities as well as poses great challenges for import-export enterprises and Vietnam’s transport industry to recover after a long period of hibernation due to the closure of borders,” he adds.

Headway is presently leveraging transportation routes that link the South to the North via the Mong Cai border gate. In addition to seaport and inland waterway systems, these routes contribute significantly to the rapid transit of goods between the Vietnamese and Chinese markets, helping to complete the supply chain of refrigerated goods through many different modes of transport.

Congratulations to Headway JSC and best of luck with their upcoming projects!

Non-operating reefer containers being used by Headway JSC to optimize transportation expenses by 25% to 30%

The NOR containers Headway used for moving auto spare parts from Korea to Vietnam also helped to solve the problem of excess empty reefer containers

Headway JSC, a Coop member in Hanoi, Haiphong, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, recently used non-operating reefer (NOR) containers to successfully import shipments from Kwangyang Port, Korea to Chu Lai Port, Vietnam. This allowed them to help their customers and shipping lines optimize transportation costs by 20% and the savings are expected to rise by 25-30%.

Vietnam is one of the countries with the world’s leading export rate of agricultural and aquatic products, including rice, dragon fruit, durian, shrimp, and tuna. Mr Felix Nguyen, from Headway, explains that the specific commercial needs of the frozen goods industry, require packing and transporting by reefer containers. “Therefore, the shortage of these containers for the export leg is still ongoing. With the transportation of the refrigerated goods to the destination port, the demand for frozen goods in the opposite direction is insufficient, leading to excess reefer containers.”

This is why Headway JSC has started using NOR containers to import goods to Vietnam. They have come up with a trial packing option with NOR containers, that can minimize moisture accumulation and provide better protection than dry containers. Moreover, these containers will provide suitable shipping conditions for electronic products and items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity.

“Our professional experience allows us to be flexible in each stage of transportation, and partially solve the shortage of empty refrigerated containers, thus helping customers optimize total transportation costs,” adds Mr Felix.

They have proposed a solution by way of packing imported items in NOR containers and then reusing the same containers to export seafood and fruits to foreign countries. This could help to save 25-30% of the entire expenditure compared to the old way of operation.

Congratulations to Headway JSC for their innovative solutions and the very best for their upcoming projects!

Headway JSC, a Coop member in Hanoi, Haiphong, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, has recently moved a cargo of 408 Mazda cars via ocean freight. The shipment posed a few challenges since the shipping company didn’t have enough space to accommodate the deadline of the customer. However, the long-term strategic cooperation between Headway and the shipping line paid off and they managed to arrange an ad-hoc vessel for transporting the 408 cars to Vietnam.

In addition, Headway was responsible for inspecting the cars while receiving the cargo from the shipper. They also had to inspect the cars before loading them on the ship.

“Currently, we are one of the few leading logistics companies in Vietnam capable of dispatching ad-hoc vessels. This is allowing us to boost our competitiveness and overcome the difficulties and challenges in the global logistics market,” says Mr. Felix Nguyen, Managing Director of Headway.

Congratulations to Headway and the best for their upcoming projects!
