❓ A world container shipping giant lost hundreds of millions of dollars, while Vietnamese businesses still grew nearly 40%. Is this the time when cash flow is silently shifting towards PVT shares?
The year 2026 is creating an unprecedented divide in the global shipping industry.
On one end of the front line, Hapag-Lloyd recorded a net loss of $256 million in the first quarter of the year alone.
At the other end, PVTrans, Vietnam's leading oil and gas transportation enterprise with stock code PVT, grew profits by nearly 40%.
This difference is not accidental.
This is a signal that the world is entering a cycle of extensive restructuring of the maritime industry. ⚓
Hapag-Lloyd – The container giant suddenly plummeted
Indicators Q1/2026 Q1/2025 Volatility
Revenue 4,918 million USD 5,318 million USD -7.5%
EBITDA 494 million USD 1,103 million USD -55.2%
EBIT -157 million USD 487 million USD Turned to loss
Net profit -256 million USD 469 million USD -154.6%
Average freight rate 1,330 USD/TEU 1,471 USD/TEU -9.5%
Main reason
1. Global surplus of new container ships
2. US and European consumer demand recovers slowly
3. Middle East conflict increases fuel costs ⛽
4. Many ships have to go around the Cape of Good Hope
According to Hapag-Lloyd's announcement, the company still maintains its full-year forecast but admits the level of uncertainty.very high.
The container market enters a purification cycle
Container lines such as Maersk, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company and Hapag-Lloyd are under great pressure as capacity increases faster than demand.
This causes
* Reduced fares
* Profit margin shrinks
* Businesses must promote M&A
* Port infrastructure becomes a more stable source of revenue
Important conclusion
Container shipping is becoming a highly cyclical industry and strongly dependent on global trade.
Vietnam's import and export are still accelerating strongly
Despite the fluctuations, Vietnam still recorded very strong trade growth.
Target Q1/2026 Value
Total import-export turnover is 249.5 billion USD
Growth +23%
Export +19.1%
Import +27%
Trade deficit is 3.64 billion USD
Vietnam continues to strengthen its position as a manufacturing factory and logistics center of Southeast Asia.
The biggest bottleneck of Vietnamese logistics
Although more than 1,000 billion USD of goods pass through the southern port area each year, the majority of high-value cash flows such as
* Shipping fee
* Marine insurance
* International payments
* Trade finance
still processed in Singapore and Hong Kong.
That means that Vietnam only enjoys a small portion of the added value.
PVTrans – The shining star of Vietnam's oil and gas transportation
Target Q1/2026 Growth
Revenue 4,177 billion VND +49.7%
Profit after tax 387 billion VND +39.9%
Total assets 22,260 billion VND Strong increase
Deposits and short-term investments VND 3,709 billion High liquidity
Number of ships 65 Continues to expand
This is one of the most impressive resultson the Vietnam stock exchange in 2026.
Why does PVTrans benefit when the world is unstable?
Different from containers, PVT focuses on
* Crude oil
* LPG
* Chemicals
* Energy products
As the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz drags on, shipping distances increase.
Results
* Ton-mile index increased
* Ship supply becomes scarce
* Anchor boat rental prices are high
* PVT benefits directly
PVT's extremely smart operating strategy
Form of exploitation Density Effect
Time Charter and Pool 80% Lock stable cash flow
Spot Market 20% Take advantage when rates increase
This model helps businesses both defend well and have a chance to break through.
Investment plan is nearly 4,000 billion VND
PVTrans plans to invest 3,858 billion VND in 2026 to expand its fleet.
In particular, the enterprise researched investing in a Very Large Crude Carrier, a super ship that can carry about 2 million barrels of crude oil.
If implemented successfully, this will be a strategic step to bring PVT to the regional level.

PVT owns it
* Large fleet
* Healthy finances
* Methodical investment policy
* Reasonable pricing
This helps the business become one of the notable representatives of Vietnam's shipping industry in 2026.

This is the year of differentiation.
The container is under purging pressure.
Oil and gas transportation is benefiting from the restructuring of the global energy chain.
And in the midst of that storm, PVTrans emerged as an enterprise with a clear strategy, strong financial capacity and remarkable long-term growth potential. ⚓
