In 2021, thanks to PVTrans leaders’ direction and support from PVTrans’ subsidiaries along with the solidarity, creativity and efforts of the Board of Directors and all employees of the company, Thang Long Maritime has over-fulfilled many targets of assigned tasks, making important contribution to PVTrans amid the unprecedented difficulty of Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2021, the global economic recovery is not yet in sign due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, besides increasing inflation and rising prices of raw materials. Although sea freight is recovering, the increased demand for iron ore has led to a large number of ships to be demolished, and the shortage of ships due to the absence of new ships has led to a sharp increase in ship prices, making it difficult to invest and develop the company’s fleet.
Faced with that situation, Thang Long Maritime proactively updated and assessed the market situation, reassessed customers, balanced cash flow, thereby developing specific operating plans and scenarios to respond promptly. In March 2021, Thang Long Maritime has completed the investment project of a 13,000 DWT vessel (PVT Dawn) and put it into operation on the international market.
In his remarks at the event, CEO Phan Cong said that with the efforts of the whole Company, the drastic efforts of the Board of Directors have brought many positive results in 2021. Accordingly, Thang Long Maritime has exceeded revenue and profit targets, in which revenue reached 220 billion VND, equivalent to 100% of the plan, pre-tax profit reached 9.5 billion VND, equivalent to 237% of the plan. State budget contribution is estimated at 1.9 billion VND, equivalent to 211 % of the 2021’s plan.
Thang Long Maritime has ensured the democratic rights of employees in the workplace, promoted building a corporate culture associated with studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s ideology and moral example in 2021. At the same time, the Company regularly pays attention to the life’s condition of its employees, ensuring income for employees in the current difficult situation.
