Sembcorp breaks ground for ready-built facility in Haiphong

Sembcorp Development is a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-listed Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp).

This milestone marks the company’s continued expansion in Haiphong, its fifth modern ready-built factory and warehouse facility in the city. Sembcorp is also the co-developer of 18 Vietnam Singapore Industrial Parks (VSIP), including VSIP Haiphong. In 2024, Haiphong ranked second nationwide for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). It is an established high-tech manufacturing destination serving the electronic components and automotive industries.

Sembcorp Logistics Park Dinh Vu is demand-driven, catering to the needs of large enterprises that are making significant investments in the area. It is located in Dinh Vu Industrial Park, also known as Deep C Haiphong, providing direct access to China’s supply chain, as well as Dinh Vu Port and Lach Huyen Deep Sea Port. As part of the wider Dinh Vu-Cat Hai Economic Zone, the park also benefits from government tax incentives, making it an attractive option for enterprises.

The first phase comprising 10,200 square metres gross floor area will be completed in the second quarter of 2025, with the remaining 80,000sq.m to be completed in 2026. It will be developed to meet modern specifications of manufacturers and ecommerce players, including higher floor loading and clear height.

Export processing enterprises can access the facility's bonded warehouses to reduce production costs, streamline customs procedures, optimise inventory management, and enable faster fulfilment, thereby strengthening their competitiveness in both local and international markets.

Reflecting Sembcorp’s commitment to sustainable development, the facility is designed to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certification, integrating eco-friendly features that enhanced energy efficiency, minimised environmental impacts, and a healthy workplace.

James Ng, director of Sembcorp Infra Services Dinh Vu, said, “By operating in a Sembcorp facility, our tenants can leverage our nationwide network of over 1,000 manufacturers and suppliers, all through our VSIPs and Sembcorp Logistics Parks. This strategic advantage enables our tenants to capitalise on our established presence in the country and reach a broader customer base of reputable, high-quality enterprises.”

Sembcorp Logistics Park Dinh Vu is being co-developed with Hankyu Hanshin Properties and CRE Asia. Sembcorp’s ready-built facilities are also in Bac Ninh, Hai Duong, Quang Ngai, Nghe An and Binh Duong provinces.
