There is an increase in cargo throughput, quantity, type and size of the sea fleet thought Hai Phong fairways. This has profoundly affected the ports’ infrastructure and equipment. HPP have relatively sufficient characteristics of evaluation and maintenance in Vietnam. The paper presents these studies and show some suitable solutions to improve life service and capacity of HPP.
