VNS provides ship repair services in Hai Phong Port, Vietnam, supporting container vessels, bulk carriers, general cargo vessels, and tankers calling at the port and anchorage. Our services include mechanical and structural repairs, underwater inspection and cleaning, engine and electrical work, tank cleaning, marine equipment servicing, spare parts supply, and load testing. VNS operates a branch office in Hai Phong, giving us a direct, on-the-ground presence for vessels calling at the port.
Hai Phong is a major port complex in northern Vietnam, spanning the traditional river terminals close to the city — including Hoang Dieu, Chua Ve, and Dinh Vu — and the newer deep-water terminal area at Lach Huyen, further downstream. Lach Huyen is home to several container terminals, including the Haiphong International Container Terminal (HICT), the Haiphong Port TIL International Terminal (HTIT, a joint venture with MSC), and the Hateco Haiphong International Container Terminal (HHIT), together serving large container vessels on international services. Vessel size and operating conditions vary considerably by terminal, from smaller general cargo and bulk vessels at the river berths to ultra-large container ships at Lach Huyen.
Working Around Hai Phong’s Mix Of Terminals And Vessel Types
A general cargo vessel at the older river terminals works to different conditions than a large container ship at Lach Huyen, and each terminal has its own access, tide, and permit requirements. VNS scopes each job against the terminal and vessel type it involves, rather than applying a single port-wide routine. Before mobilizing, we confirm the vessel’s ETA and ETB, working location, access requirements, and any applicable port or terminal permit requirements, then agree the scope of work directly with the vessel’s Master or Chief Engineer.
Because VNS has a branch office in Hai Phong, our team can coordinate local mobilization and respond quickly to vessels calling at the port or anchorage.

Underwater Inspection & Repair In Hai Phong
Large container vessels calling at Lach Huyen often turn around quickly, so underwater work is frequently scheduled to fit within a tight port-call window. VNS provides underwater hull inspection and cleaning, carried out by experienced commercial divers based locally in Hai Phong. This includes propeller polishing, underwater welding, underwater steel repair, and underwater replacement of echo sounders or speed logs. We also support underwater surveys, including UWILD, where permitted by the vessel’s classification society and applicable requirements.
Tank Cleaning & Waste Disposal
Tankers and bulk carriers calling at the river terminals bring a regular need for tank cleaning alongside our other work in Hai Phong. This covers ballast tank cleaning and bilge water removal, fuel oil and cargo tank cleaning, and sludge and slop disposal, all coordinated with licensed waste treatment facilities.
Navigation, Safety & Equipment Services
Navigation equipment repair, communication equipment servicing, and GMDSS/VDR annual survey and inspection are available alongside firefighting and lifesaving equipment servicing. Because our technicians are already in Hai Phong rather than travelling in, this kind of work can usually be added to a visit without pushing back the vessel’s other repairs.
Marine Spare Parts
A large container vessel with a short slot at HICT, HTIT, or HHIT has little room to wait on a delayed part, and this is where being based in Hai Phong matters most: VNS can move parts locally rather than shipping them in from another region. We source and arrange delivery of engine equipment, navigation equipment, hydraulic equipment, and electrical equipment, along with engine and deck stores, marine tools, safety materials, and deck and cabin supplies, matched to the vessel’s schedule at berth or anchorage.
Load Testing & Survey Support
Load testing with load cells and water bags is available for deck cranes, provision cranes, engine room cranes, monorail cranes, and accommodation ladders, alongside ship condition surveys and general audits. Where certification or witnessing is required, we coordinate directly with the relevant classification society.
Being based in Hai Phong rather than visiting from elsewhere means VNS technicians can respond to a vessel’s requirements on short notice and stay in close contact with the vessel’s agent, Master, and Chief Engineer throughout the job.
