Cai Mep - Thi Vai port cluster, now located in the expanded Ho Chi Minh City area, is entering a strategic development phase when simultaneously converging the three most important elements of a modern energy center including an international deep-water port, large-scale LNG infrastructure and a complete industrial - logistics ecosystem.

In that picture, Petrovietnam and PV GAS are emerging as core forces, turning PV GAS Vung Tau Terminal in Cai Mep area into the central link of the national energy supply chain and in the future the energy trading hub of the entire region. 

Why does Cai Mep - Thi Vai have an "irreplaceable" position?

Cai Mep - Thi Vai is one of the very few deep-water ports in Asia that can receive container ships and energy ships of up to 200,000 DWT, allowing goods to go directly to the US and Europe without needing to transship through Singapore or Hong Kong. 

Strategic advantage

Outstanding Advantage Factor
Ship channel depth Welcoming international super-heavy ships
Location Center of the Southern key economic region
Connection Near Long Thanh, highways and industrial parks
Industry Surrounded by steel, electricity, petrochemicals
LNG Owns the first and largest LNG warehouse in Vietnam

LNG Thi Vai Warehouse - "the heart of liquefied petroleum gas" of Vietnam ❄️

Thi Vai LNG warehouse is Vietnam's first LNG warehouse, operated by PV GASWith a current capacity of about 1 million tons/year and is being invested to expand to 3 million tons/year with a total capital of nearly 8,900 billion VND. 

Important parameters

Scale Parameters
Current capacity is 1 million tons of LNG/year
Capacity after expansion is 3 million tons/year
Tank capacity 180,000 m³
Increase recycling capacity to 288 tons/hour
Receiving ships up to 100,000 DWT

Strategic significance

1. Providing fuel for gas power plants.
2. Compensate for decline in domestic gas sources.
3. Ensure national energy security.
4. Create the foundation for a competitive LNG market.
5. Attract data centers and high-tech industries.

63,000 tons LNG train - signal of a mature market ❄️

In March 2026, the FAT'H AL KHAIR ship carrying about 63,000 tons of LNG arrived at Thi Vai port, equivalent to about 87 million Sm³ of natural gas. This is the first batch of imported LNG in 2026, demonstrating PV GAS's ability to arrange goods sources and operate internationally. 

Not just an LNG port – but an “Energy Super Hub” ⚡️

Cai Mep - Thi Vai is developing according to the model that many successful countries have applied.

International reference model

Role Center
Singapore LNG Hub and largest bunkering in the region
Rotterdam European Energy Hub
Fujairah Middle East Petroleum Hub
Cai Mep - Thi Vai Top candidate of Southeast Asia

Value-added services can be formed

1. LNG and LPG bonded warehouse.
2. Fuel mixing and distribution center.
3. Bunkering for ships.
4. Cold logistics for industry.
5. Data centers use electricitygas.
6. Green hydrogen, green ammonia and CCS.

Ho Chi Minh City's "super policy" - the driving force for acceleration ️

Expanding the boundaries and empowering Ho Chi Minh City to help the Cai Mep - Thi Vai area benefit from:

* Flexible investment mechanism.
* Faster procedures.
* Policy to attract high-tech FDI.
* Synchronous connection infrastructure.
* Energy sandbox model.

Huge economic impact

Estimated efficiency

Impact Indicators
Attracting investment billions of dollars
Increase port output Strongly in 5–10 years
Guaranteed power source Dozens of gigawatts of gas power
High quality jobs Tens of thousands of workers
Budget contribution Very large and sustainable

Petrovietnam and PV GAS - creators of national infrastructure ️

Petrovietnam not only exploits oil and gas but is gradually building an integrated energy ecosystem from upstream to logistics, trade and distribution. In that ecosystem, PV GAS plays a central role in the LNG chain, modern pipelines and warehouses. 

Vision to 2030

If expansion projects are implemented on schedule, Cai Mep - Thi Vai can become:

* Largest LNG import center in Vietnam.
* Energy supply focal point for the southern economic region.
* Energy logistics hub of Southeast Asia.
* Leading destination for industrial and technology investors.

Conclusion

Cai Mep - Thi Vai is transforming from a cluster of container ports into a super center integrating energy, logistics, industry and high technology. With the core role of Petrovietnam and PV GAS, Vietnam has a real opportunity to ownu a “new Singapore” in the energy sector.

This is not just a story about seaports or LNG, but a strategic step to elevate Vietnam's position on the global energy map. ⚡
