Posted on | by admin

Brazil has emerged as the top export market for Vietnamese pangasius, driving growth for Headway

Headway JSC, a Coop member in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has achieved a remarkable milestone in the Vietnamese seafood export sector by shipping 23,310 tons of pangasius to Brazil during the first nine months of 2024. This impressive volume accounts for 30% of the company’s total exports of 76,678 tons of pangasius to global markets during this period.

The Brazilian market has shown an exceptional demand for pangasius, making it Vietnam’s third-largest export destination for the fish, after China and the US. According to Vietnam Customs, as of September 15, 2024, pangasius exports to Brazil reached a value of $81 million, marking a 26% increase over the same period last year. This growth highlights Brazil’s increasing reliance on imported pangasius to meet its domestic demand for affordable, nutritious white fish.

Headway’s success reflects its expertise in navigating Brazil’s import market, where pangasius has become a staple due to its suitability for local tastes. “The soft, white texture and mild flavor of this fish make it an ideal ingredient for traditional Brazilian dishes. This, combined with its affordability, has driven demand across the country,” said Felix Nguyen, Manager Director of Headway JSC. “Our efficient logistics network ensures that we can deliver high-quality seafood to Brazil while optimizing costs for exporters,” he added.

While Brazil leads the way, China and the EU remain critical markets for Headway’s pangasius exports. However, stricter EU import regulations could pose challenges to future growth. Despite these hurdles, Headway’s global network and extensive logistics expertise continue to position it as a leader in seafood transportation.

Congratulations to Headway JSC and all the best for their upcoming projects!

Headway JSC a Coop member in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, is undertaking its latest initiative to support customers in purchasing and renovating shipping containers. They have recently converted old 40-feet high-cube containers into highly efficient side-opening containers, tailored for transporting goods from Hai Phong, Vietnam to Adelaide, Australia. This allows clients to deal with large, long-sized cargo, such as brown angle boards.

By converting traditional containers to side-opening models, Headway JSC is significantly enhancing the efficiency of loading and unloading processes. Moreover, the modification allows for a smoother, faster operation compared to conventional end-opening containers.

“This innovative shipping solution addresses pressing challenges such as container shortages and rising shipping costs. By repurposing old containers, we provide a cost-effective alternative tailored to specific client needs,” says Felix Nguyen, Sales & Agency Support Manager of Headway JSC. “Furthermore, the renovation approach contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing the amount of metal waste and limiting adverse ecological impacts,” he adds.

During the modification process, Headway and its technical team carefully calculated the opening of eight side doors for the 40-feet container, creating two sturdy pillars to increase load-bearing capacity. This helped to limit the risk of collapse and deformation due to changes in the container structure.

Congratulations to Headway JSC and all the best with their upcoming projects!

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%

Posted on | by admin

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!
