HAI MINH LONG AND THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING DREDGING AND MARINE SAND MINING ACTIVITIES

In recent years, river sand resources in Vietnam have gradually depleted due to over-exploitation, leading the market to shift towards marine sand extraction. The need for sand in land reclamation to develop seaports and transportation projects requires a massive supply, making marine sand mining more essential than ever. According to forecasts, the demand for construction sand will continue to rise in the next decade, especially in coastal nations and provinces with rapid urbanization. This creates significant opportunities for companies in the dredging and marine sand extraction sectors, including Hai Minh Long.

To meet the increasing demand, Hai Minh Long has been developing a fleet of high-capacity dredging vessels, among which the standout vessels boast a sand mining capacity of 1,000 m³/h. These vessels are equipped with technology that allows for deep-sea sand mining, ensuring stable sand quality, suitable for large-scale reclamation projects. Hai Minh Long's dredgers utilize a bucket chain system, enabling efficient sand extraction in deep waters without causing excessive disruption to the marine environment.

Looking ahead, Hai Minh Long plans to further develop its fleet with larger capacity and more advanced technology to enhance dredging operations in distant seas and expand marine sand extraction capabilities, meeting market demand. Hai Minh Long believes that with sustainable and responsible growth, Vietnam's marine dredging and sand extraction industry will increasingly contribute to economic development while safeguarding natural resources for future generations.
