It is known that four 2500TEU ships will be put into use for the Vietnam-Thailand route.

Refrigerated goods such as bananas are the main imports. The shipping routes will help exports of chemicals, minerals, and metal products from Northeast China to the ports of Laem Chabang and Hochiminh, contributing to Dalian port's status as hub of foreign container trade and cold chain logistics.

It will provide new logistics channels and convenience for Northeast China and Southeast Asian countries and promote the growth of regional economy and trade.
