At the Hai Phong Investment Promotion Conference—held in conjunction with the3rd APEC Business Advisory Council Meeting 2025, titled Hai Phong: Strategies
Gateway to the New Era—LŌ-GOI Group and Lach Huyen International Logistics & Industrial Park – Deepwater Port JSC (LHF) proudly announced the signing on July 15, 2025.
This MOU establishes exclusive strategic cooperation for infrastructure development at Lach Huyen Port, Hai Phong, Vietnam. The initiative targets one of the largest and most strategic infrastructure projects in northern Vietnam: the development of the Xuan Cau Free Trade Zone Industrial Park, in combination with the expansion of Lach Huyen’s Deep Sea Port.
The Joint Venture will work collaboratively to create the state significant intermodal transportation hub and optimize the storage and production of goods throughout the free trade zone. With LO -GOI Group team’s extensive experience in intermodal developments, proven technical expertise and execution capability will be focused to this strategic initiative.
Trent Iliffe, Founder and Managing Director, LO -GOI Group said “Our partnership with LHF’s represents our commitment to transforming Vietnam’s essential logistics infrastructure. This project is a once-in-a-decade nation building infrastructure which allows us to set a new benchmark for logistics infrastructure development in Vietnam and throughout Asia-Pacific. With Lach Huyen Port’s strategic location and our team’s global intermodal experience, we are excited to co-develop a future-ready logistics hub that will anchor Northern Vietnam’s emergence as a regional trade powerhouse.”
The LO -GOI Group–LHF partnership will create Northern Vietnam’s first fully integrated, high-tech intermodal gateway at Lach Huyen, fusing land, rail, and deep-sea transport into one seamless network. More than 350,000 sqm GLA of Grade-A warehousing and industrial space will be served by automated intermodal logistics systems, with direct links to national highways, the north–south rail spine, and global shipping lanes. Sustainability and decarbonisation are embedded from day one: the estate is planned to be powered by a 42 MWp rooftop-based solar photovoltaic power plant combined with a 20 MWh battery storage system to ensure 100% renewable power coverage. Moreover, the estate is being designed to achieve LEED Platinum and targets EDGE Level 3 (Zero Carbon) green building certifications, supporting Vietnam’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. As such, all buildings will follow low-carbon engineering practices with remaining embodied carbon removed through carbon forestry activities.
The development spans at least 70 hectares inside the 2,000-hectare Lach Huyen Logistics, Industrial & Free Trade Zone, immediately adjacent to the deep-sea port (15 planned berths, 55 km coastline) and its rail terminal capable of handling 7–12 million TEUs annually. Within the wider master plan—which targets throughput of 100 million TEUs a year by 2030 – 752 hectares are reserved for the XCH Free Trade Zone, with the balance allocated to berths, container yards, and support infrastructure. Together, these elements position the hub as a scalable, future-ready platform for accelerated trade growth and sustainable industrial expansion across Northern Vietnam and beyond.
“Partnering with LO -GOI Group allows us to realize our long-held vision for Lach Huyen as an integrated, world-class industrial and logistics destination,” said Nguyen Vinh Hau, General Director at Lach Huyen International Logistics & Industrial Park – Deepwater Port JSC. “By combining global and local expertise with proven execution capability, this joint venture will accelerate Vietnam’s evolution into a high-value trade and supply-chain hub.”
Echoing that confidence, Matthew Jackson, LO -GOI’s General Manager for Northern Vietnam, noted: “After months of close collaboration with Xuan Cau, we’re ready to set a new standard for next-generation logistics. Our project isn’t just about setting a new industry benchmark; it’s designed to propel Vietnam’s economic growth and strengthen its global standing. By integrating advanced intermodal design, automation, and sustainability, we’ll deliver a scalable, resilient ecosystem that generates long-term value for manufacturers, exporters, and the wider regional economy.”
The joint venture is subject to various approvals, with the partners to announce further details over the coming months.
