Recently, Camco Technologies NV Group (Kingdom of Belgium) signed a memorandum of understanding with Hateco Hai Phong International Container Terminal Co., Ltd. (HHIT). Accordingly, Camco will deploy the automatic gate OCR system and the exclusive STS gantry crane OCR system at HHIT.

Through this cooperation, HHIT affirms its goal of closely linking the largest seaport in Northern Vietnam with the European and American markets.

Along with that, the Renewable Energy Certificate Purchase and Sale Agreement between DEEP C Green Energy Company Limited (Vietnam) and Polarium Vietnam Company Limited (Sweden) was also signed.

Specifically, Polarium Vietnam will purchase Renewable Energy Certificates from DEEP C to become the first company in DEEP C Industrial Park to operate its facility entirely with renewable energy (100% using green energy).

To date, Hai Phong City has 8 FDI projects by investors from the Kingdom of Belgium with a total investment capital of 556 million USD. Projects mainly focus on the fields of industrial park infrastructure and maritime services business, electricity production, and hotel business investment.
