Summary

On September 23, 2026, a container ship completed the inaugural transit of the Pinglu Canal in Guangxi, China, establishing a new river-to-sea trade route to Vietnam. The vessel departed from Nanning Port on September 16 and arrived at Can Tho Port, including the Cái Cui Port facility, with no damage reported to the vessel or infrastructure. The ship carried 252 twenty-foot equivalent units of freight, including auto components, sodium sulfate, and wood panels. This new maritime connection is designed to shorten the inland waterway journey for cargo moving between southwestern China and the Mekong Delta.
