强劲排名与亚洲高尔夫热潮,彰显森林城市应对需求增长的实力

森林城市高尔夫度假区介绍,2025年森林城市高尔夫度假区接待球客达到10万人。在国家和州级旅游活动以及高尔夫运动兴趣日益增长的背景下, 2026年到访游客预计将持续增长,特别是以休闲度假为导向的高尔夫球手群体。

2026马来西亚旅游年2026柔佛旅游年是政府主导的互补性旅游推广活动,旨在通过联合宣传、大型活动策划以及主要口岸和目的地的服务提升,刺激入境和境内旅游。这两项活动均设定了雄心勃勃的目标:2026马来西亚旅游年旨在吸引4,700万游客并创造1471亿令吉的旅游收入,而2026柔佛旅游年的目标是到年底吸引1,200万游客并产生约420亿令吉的经济影响。预计这些举措将在整个2026年推动森林城市金融特区周边在酒店、活动及休闲方面的需求增长。

与此同时,亚洲地区对高尔夫参与度及旅游热度持续升温。城市练习场和家庭式迷你高尔夫正拓宽高尔夫运动的入门渠道。根据全球两大高尔夫规则制定机构之一R&A发布的独立数据,2024年数据显示,亚洲在全球高尔夫人口中领先于欧洲、加拿大及其他所有R&A附属地区(不包括隶属于USGA的美国及墨西哥)。前往亚洲的国际高尔夫旅游亦在增长,尤其是东南亚地区,凭借锦标赛级球场、高品质酒店服务以及多元文化体验,正巩固其作为最具吸引力高尔夫旅游目的地之一的地位。这些趋势共同表明,在参与度增长、投资增加和旅游业发展的共同支撑下,高尔夫正全面迎来增长阶段。

在此背景下,凭借2026年森林城市经典球场排名亚洲第36位、马来西亚第1位的成绩,度假区可将市场需求转化为高尔夫住宿套餐、企业高尔夫活动及家庭度假。森林城市高尔夫酒店近期还获得了2025年Agoda金环奖,进一步提升了其作为高尔夫与酒店服务一体化综合度假目的地的吸引力,有助于支撑2026年全年更高的入住率、更长的停留时间和更高的客户消费。

经典球场与传奇球场共同构筑森林城市高尔夫度假区:连续七年的稳定表现

位于马来西亚柔佛州的森林城市高尔夫度假区拥有两座18洞国际锦标赛级球场:经典球场,由资深球场设计师梁国坤打造;以及传奇球场,由杰克·尼克劳斯与杰克·尼克劳斯二世联袂设计。两座球场均在亚洲取得了优异排名。

亚洲百佳高尔夫球场榜单自2016年起由《高尔夫旅行》杂志中文版与韩文版联合主办,评审维度涵盖球场设计、可玩性、景观美感及技术挑战性。经典球场于2018年首度入围,并保持连续在榜至2026年

2026年,经典球场位列亚洲第36位,较去年提升14个位次。在马来西亚上榜的三座球场中,森林城市排名全国第一,其余两家分别位列第55位及第73位。

森林城市方认为,这份持续的认可,印证了其运营管理的持续精进与球场品质的长期稳定。在众多球场排名变动频繁的激烈竞争中,连续七年跻身榜单,充分体现了球场在设计、养护及整体打球体验方面始终坚持专业标准,并不断追求更高水平。

球场设计理念:回归自然,精妙平衡

森林城市高尔夫度假区的36洞以国际锦标赛级标准呈现两种互补的建筑风格。

经典球场由资深设计师梁国坤操刀,秉持”回归自然”的设计理念,通过层次分明的景观肌理、灵动流畅的沙坑线条、移步易景的水景意境,将自然美学与竞技策略巧妙融合。湖体同时承担水资源综合管理功能,赋予球场兼具美学价值与生态可持续性的底色。梁国坤的设计水准拥有独立验证:其经典球场与假日岛高尔夫球会同为入选2026亚洲百佳的作品。

对于球手而言,经典球场将设计意图转化为实际体验:每一杆都需审慎决策,精准与球场管理能力同样重要,同时让球手沉浸于精心构建的自然环境之中。整场球既是对技巧与策略的考验,也是一段穿行于生动景观的旅程。

传奇球场则由杰克·尼克劳斯与杰克·尼克劳斯二世联袂设计,形成了与经典球场互为补充的独特风格。这一难得的父子档设计作品,在挑战性与美学表达之间实现了精妙平衡,满足寻求与经典球场不同体验的球手需求,同时保持锦标赛级水准。

经典球场与传奇球场均已获得GEO国际环保认证,确认其环境管理能力经过独立验证,而非单方面声明。2025年,森林城市高尔夫度假区举办了多场大型赛事,并接待了超过10万人次的高尔夫球手,印证了其不仅是高尔夫爱好者青睐的目的地,也是举办各类赛事的重要平台。

Aftersales Ecosystem Emerges as a Key Driver of VinFast’s Global Growth

As emerging economies accelerate EV adoption, VinFast is pairing strong product portfolio with an expanding aftersales ecosystem, positioning the VF 8 as a compelling choice for Middle Eastern customers.

DUBAI, UAE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 As EV adoption accelerates across emerging economies, a new generation of national EV champions is reshaping the global automotive landscape. From Türkiye’s TOGG to Malaysia’s Proton and Perodua, domestic electric mobility brands are gaining momentum across emerging markets as countries increasingly embrace electrification and invest in the future of local automotive industries[1]. Among the standout names is VinFast, Vietnam’s rapidly expanding EV maker, which has quickly transformed from a newcomer into one of the country’s most influential automotive brands.

Photo (7).jpg

That rise is closely tied to Vietnam’s broader EV transition. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation, Vietnam achieved a 37% EV market share in 2025, nearly doubling Europe’s adoption rate and making it one of the world’s fastest-growing EV markets[2]. VinFast has been at the center of that momentum, benefiting from strong domestic demand as well as government-backed efforts to accelerate electrification in public transportation and daily mobility.

The company’s growth has continued to accelerate in 2026, following a strong 2025 in which VinFast delivered 175,099 vehicles in Vietnam. In April this year alone, VinFast delivered 24,774 electric vehicles domestically, bringing total sales for the first four months of the year to 78,458 units. The company has now led the Vietnamese automotive market for 19 consecutive months.

One major driver behind that momentum is VinFast’s long-term focus on customer ownership experience, particularly after-sales support, helping make the EV transition more seamless and reassuring for users. By the end of 2025, the company had developed nearly 400 service workshops across Vietnam while also supporting the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure through partner networks targeting up to 150,000 charging ports nationwide.

At the same time, VinFast is working to expand its global customer support capabilities. During the 2026 VinFast Global Business Conference held in Hanoi earlier this month, the company signed Memoranda of Understanding with 29 international aftersales partners across multiple markets. Under the agreements, partners will establish EV workshops that meet VinFast’s global standards, supported by standardized technician training, quality control systems, and a parts supply network targeting the delivery of common spare parts within 24 hours in key markets. VinFast aims to expand its global aftersales network to more than 1,100 workshops in 2026.

The Middle East is becoming an increasingly important part of that expansion. In the UAE, VinFast previously signed an agreement with PlusX Electric to strengthen charging accessibility, roadside assistance, and digital EV support services for customers, while also partnering with the Arabian Automobile Association to provide roadside assistance coverage across six Gulf countries.

VinFast’s customer-focused approach is reflected in the VinFast VF 8, an all-electric SUV designed with Pininfarina. The model offers up to 402 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and 493 km of range, alongside premium features including a 15.6-inch infotainment screen, panoramic sunroof, and advanced ADAS safety technologies.

Equally important for Middle Eastern customers is the ownership package surrounding the vehicle. VinFast backs the VF 8 with a 10-year or 200,000 km vehicle warranty, a 10-year unlimited-kilometer battery warranty, five years of free servicing, mobile service support, 24/7 roadside assistance, and access to fast charging infrastructure, reinforcing the company’s ambition to compete not only on product, but also on long-term ownership confidence.

“Porcelain on the Silk Road: In Pursuit of Craft” Cultural Exploration Event Held in Tongchuan, Shaanxi

TONGCHUAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – On May 18, International Museum Day, a cultural exploration event themed “Porcelain on the Silk Road: In Pursuit of Craft” was held in Tongchuan, Shaanxi. Foreign video blogger Li Cheng and Chinese culture enthusiast Karolina visited the Yaozhou Kiln Museum, aiming to trace the spirit of porcelain through its artistry and explore the millennium-old legacy of Yaozhou porcelain, while witnessing how China’s intangible cultural heritage continues to thrive through generations of preservation.

https://youtu.be/B08PZnOig8c
https://youtu.be/B08PZnOig8c

Yaozhou porcelain, produced in Tongchuan, boasts a history of more than a thousand years. Once exported overseas along the ancient Silk Road, it has long served as a symbol of China’s cultural exchange with the world. Its carved-decoration technique is especially renowned—vertical knife incisions for line work and oblique blade carving for clay trimming, which requires remarkable precision and skill. Having been lost for over 800 years, the craftsmanship was revived through a three-year endeavor by Mr. Li Guozhen, a leading authority in Chinese ceramic science, and his disciple, Mr. Meng Shufeng, a master of Chinese arts and crafts and a national-level representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage project of Yaozhou kiln ceramic firing techniques. Their achievement is a landmark example of the revival of famed Chinese porcelain. The beauty of Yaozhou porcelain lies in its resonant clarity, warm coloration, and olive-toned glaze. Crafted with distinctive raw materials, kilns, and firing techniques, it unites the elegance of the Tang and Song dynasties, the spirit of the Silk Road, and the devotion of master artisans. Embodying imperial elegance and the warmth of everyday life, Yaozhou porcelain carries forward a millennium of craftsmanship and Eastern aesthetics.

This year’s International Museum Day centers on the theme “Museums uniting a divided world.” During their visit to the Yaozhou Kiln Museum, Li Cheng and Karolina listened to the clear ring of the porcelain and learned about the kiln traditions passed down for centuries. Deeply moved by the experience, they remarked with admiration: Yaozhou porcelain is purely China. It is more than a piece of porcelain; it reflects the depth and quiet refinement of Chinese civilization.

Each piece of porcelain carries the legacy of a thousand years, fostering shared understanding across civilizations. From ancient imperial courts to distant Silk Road destinations, from the warmth of everyday life to contemporary cultural inheritance, Yaozhou porcelain continues to serve, through its understated elegance, as a cultural bridge connecting past and present and linking China with the world, and it demonstrates the enduring vitality of China’s intangible cultural heritage.

Kaleida Studio Announces DIY Jewellery Workshop in Singapore for Creative Beginners

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – Kaleida Studio, an arts and craft studio located in Tai Seng, has announced plans to introduce a DIY jewellery workshop, a guided crafting experience where participants can design and create their own gemstone necklace or bracelet.

Kaleida Studio's Workshop

The upcoming workshop is designed to give beginners a simple introduction to jewellery making within a supportive studio environment. Designed for teenagers and adults, the sessions aim to make the craft accessible to beginners by combining creative exploration with an introduction to basic jewellery-making techniques.

During the workshop, participants will work with a curated selection of gemstone beads, charms, and jewellery components to design an accessory that reflects their personal style. At the end of each session, participants will complete and take home a handcrafted necklace or bracelet that they have assembled themselves.

Helping Beginners Feel More Confident About Jewellery Making

Interest in handmade crafts and personalised accessories has grown in recent years, yet many people hesitate to try jewellery making for the first time. Uncertainty about creative ideas, along with unfamiliarity with specialised tools and techniques, can make the process feel daunting for beginners.

Kaleida Studio developed the workshop to make the craft more approachable. Through step-by-step instruction and access to the appropriate tools and materials, participants can explore jewellery making in a structured environment without prior experience.

The session introduces basic tools and techniques while allowing participants to experiment with different combinations of gemstone beads and charms. This approach gives beginners the confidence to learn the process while enjoying the experience of creating a handcrafted piece that reflects their own design choices.

A Personalised Jewellery-Making Experience

A defining feature of the DIY jewellery workshop is its emphasis on personal design. Rather than following a fixed template, participants are encouraged to create pieces that reflect their own aesthetic preferences.

The studio provides a selection of gemstone beads, charms, and jewellery-making tools, allowing participants to experiment with different colours, textures, and arrangements. Basic assembly techniques are introduced to help ensure that each piece is securely constructed.

“At Kaleida Studio, we believe creativity should be something people can explore in their own way,” said Cherry, founder of Kaleida Studio. “This workshop grew from our own interest in jewellery making and our desire to share that experience with others. By walking participants through the process, we hope to show that anyone can create something meaningful and unique with their own hands.”

Encouraging Creative Exploration in a Studio Setting

Kaleida Studio seeks to provide a welcoming space where individuals can explore creative expression at their own pace. In addition to the jewellery workshop, the studio offers art classes for adults, giving participants opportunities to experiment with different artistic media in a relaxed and supportive environment.

The studio also hosts group sessions, such as a corporate workshop, where teams can take part in guided crafting activities designed to encourage collaboration and creative thinking.

For those looking for a more open-ended experience, Kaleida Studio offers a setting similar to an art jam studio, where participants can spend time exploring materials, ideas, and techniques in a flexible and supportive studio environment.

Availability and Booking

The DIY jewellery workshop is scheduled to launch in mid-2026. Once available, sessions can be booked through Kaleida Studio’s website. Enquiries are also welcome by email, phone, or WhatsApp.

Further details on workshop schedules and registration will be announced through Kaleida Studio’s official channels, including its Instagram page.

Future Plans

Kaleida Studio plans to further develop its jewellery workshop by introducing a wider range of materials and exploring additional types of handcrafted jewellery. These future additions aim to expand the creative possibilities available to participants while continuing to support the studio’s focus on encouraging artistic expression through hands-on crafting experiences.

Via Licensing Alliance Expands Voice Codec Program with New Licensee, New Licensors, Publishes Comprehensive Pool Rate Structure

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 May 2026 – Via Licensing Alliance (Via) today announced continued momentum for its Voice Codec patent pool, including the addition of a new unnamed licensee and new licensors, NovaVoice Limited and Cordial IP, further growing the program’s patent stack and market penetration from its initial five, large global licensors.

The addition of the new licensee, unnamed at this time, reflects growing industry adoption of the collaborative licensing pathway Via’s Voice Codec program creates for accessing IP rights to critical voice technologies.

Additionally, Via continues to prioritize transparency and has published its full rate structure for the Voice Codec pool, providing further clarity and predictability for implementers and to the broader market. For implementers, the full rate structure allows for complete visibility as they consider the appropriate royalty structure to choose from to meet their product level costs, evaluate future growth paths for their product lines, or plan their geographical expansion plan needs. This level of disclosure not only reduces uncertainty in licensing decisions but also enables more consistent benchmarking, reinforcing confidence in fair, market-aligned SEP licensing practices. The program’s royalty rates are listed on Via’s website at https://www.via-la.com/licensing-programs/voice-codec/#license-fees.

The addition of the new licensors indicates increased interest from patent holders in licensing their voice technology SEPs through highly efficient, aggregated licensing vehicles such as patent pools. Future growth in both the licensor list and the number of patents consolidated through the pool license will continue to enhance the value of the Voice Codec License for implementers. Via’s Voice Codec program licensors are listed here: https://www.via-la.com/licensing-programs/voice-codec/#licensors.

Via’s Voice Codec pool covers Enhanced Voice Services (EVS), which supports voice communications across more than one billion and growing active devices globally, as well as Immersive Voice and Audio Services (IVAS), which will play a central role in next-generation voice and spatial audio applications.

“We are pleased to welcome these new entrants to our pool, which signal continued growth and momentum our Voice Codec program,” said Kevin Mack, President of Via Licensing Alliance. “This pool license offers strong value relative to other market options and represents the only collaborative licensing solution for EVS and IVAS technologies, making it a smart and efficient pathway for companies seeking to license critical voice capabilities.”

EVS remains a foundational technology for high-quality voice communications in 5G and 5G-Advanced networks, with adoption continuing to expand as 5G, 5G-Advanced and future network iterations reach global scale. As spatial audio and advanced voice technologies expand into 6G and a broader range of non-cellular devices, the importance of IVAS technologies is expected to increase, with Via’s pool offering an early and effective licensing pathway.

글로벌 시장을 잇는 가교: 캐세이 카고, 홍콩의 전략적 허브 기반으로 콜드체인 경쟁력 강화

급변하는 2026년 물류 환경에서 정확성과 속도는 고부가가치 필수 화물 운송을 위한 핵심 요건

홍콩 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026년 5월 22일 – 캐세이 카고(Cathay Cargo)가 비행 5시간 이내에 전 세계 인구의 절반에 도달할 수 있는 홍콩의 독보적인 지리적 이점을 기반으로, 캐세이 프레시(Cathay Fresh)와 캐세이 파마(Cathay Pharma)를 전문 콜드체인 물류 솔루션으로 통합하여 광둥·홍콩·마카오대만구(GBA)와 글로벌 시장을 연결하는 항공 물류 허브로서의 역할을 더욱 강화하고 있다.

캐세이프레시: 원활한복합운송연결망

캐세이 카고는 홍콩공항관리국(Airport Authority Hong Kong)이 추진하는 에어랜드프레시레인(Air-Land Fresh Lane, ALFL) 이니셔티브를 통해 활수산물과 제철 과일 등 프리미엄 신선 화물을 GBA로 운송하는 원활한 복합 운송 콜드체인 연결망을 구축했다. 화물은 단일 항공화물 운송장으로 처리돼 해외에서 홍콩국제공항을 거쳐 GBA까지 직접 운송되며, 전 과정은 통합 콜드체인 물류 시스템에서 관리된다.

ALFL의 핵심 경쟁력은 수입 절차를 대폭 간소화했다는 점이다. 특수환적증명서를 활용하면 중국 본토에서 복잡한 재등록 절차를 거치지 않고 주하이의 냉장 세관 시설로 화물을 바로 반입할 수 있다. 또한, 통합 콜드체인 물류 솔루션은 운송 전 과정에서 화물 품질을 안정적으로 유지한다. 제품은 계류장에서 냉장돌리(Cool Dollies)를 통해 보호되며, 이후 GPS 추적이 가능한 온도조절 트럭으로 옮겨진다. 이처럼 간소화된 운영 방식은 배송 시간을 크게 단축해 소비자에게 더욱 신선하고 안전한 식품을 공급할 수 있도록 한다.

캐세이파마: 바이오물류를뒷받침하는기술경쟁력

의약품은 철저한 온도 관리가 필요한 만큼, 캐세이 파마는 선도적인 기술 역량을 바탕으로 생명과학 물류의 새로운 기준을 제시하고 있다. 홍콩국제공항(HKIA)에서 최대규모의전용의약품처리센터를 운영하며, 네 가지 온도 구간(FRO, COL, CRT, ERT)을 지원한다. 또한 6개 전략적 제휴사와의 협력을 통해 아시아에서 가장 폭넓은 냉장 컨테이너 옵션을 제공한다.

캐세이 파마의 높은 신뢰성을 뒷받침하는 핵심은 실시간에 가까운 데이터 로깅 시스템인 울트라 트랙(Ultra Track)이다. 화주는 이 시스템을 통해 화물 상태를 상세히 확인하고, 선제적인 조치를 취할 수 있다. 캐세이 파마는 전 세계 70개 이상의 인증 의약품 처리 스테이션을 기반으로 백신과 바이오 의약품 등 생명과 직결된 물품의 효능이 운송 전 과정에서 안정적으로 유지되도록 한다.

통합콜드체인솔루션비전

캐세이 카고는 온도 관리가 필수적인 다양한 산업 분야의 요구에 맞춰 통합 콜드체인 솔루션을 제공한다. 신선 식품에는 국제항공운송협회 신선화물 항공 운송 품질인증(IATA CEIV Fresh) 기준을 적용하고, 바이오 제품에는 국제항공운송협회 의약품 항공 운송 품질인증(IATA CEIV Pharma) 요건을 충족하는 세계적 수준의 의약품 처리 시설을 활용한다. 이러한 통합 관리 솔루션을 통해 프리미엄 수산물부터 필수 의약품에 이르기까지 온도에 민감한 모든 화물이 안전성 및 품질 측면에서 최고 수준의 글로벌 기준을 충족하도록 지원한다.

Built and operated by China News Network, the official website of China News Service, the platform serves as ASEAN trade agencies, industry associations, overseas Chinese communities, and cross-border enterprises, providing one-stop trade information services.

China News Service will leverage its strengths to build the China-ASEAN Business and Trade Information Platform into an influential and dynamic communication channel that promotes information sharing and provides services, to facilitate trade and people-to-people exchanges between China and ASEAN countries.

Currently, a trade information network between China and ASEAN countries has been built, with key content covering policy explanations, market conditions, investment promotion, business cooperation, and industry analysis, to comprehensively support cross-border trade activities.

Prior to the platform’s launch, representatives from government departments, media outlets, research institutes, and universities in China and multiple ASEAN countries participated in discussions on economic and trade information exchange between China and ASEAN countries, as well as the development of the platform.

Consular officials from ASEAN member states including Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam, stationed in Nanning expressed their hopes for enhancing China-ASEAN economic and trade connectivity as well as people-to-people ties through information sharing.

Against the backdrop of the signing of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Protocol, the platform serves as an information bridge for expanding cooperation, promoting trade, enhancing industrial upgrade, and achieving mutual benefits and win-win outcomes, they said.

They hope that the platform will play a greater role in trade facilitation and logistics services, empowering micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and investment policies and regulatory measures, while helping share cooperation stories between China and ASEAN countries.

Vietnam’s International Financial Center Launches Maritime Financial Ecosystem to Capture USD Billions Flowing Offshore

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2026 – Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC), in collaboration with Gemadept Corporation and the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies, today hosted a high-level forum to officially launch the International Maritime Financial Ecosystem (IMFE) — one of the four strategic pillars of VIFC-HCMC.

The forum, themed “Developing the International Maritime Financial Ecosystem within the Vietnam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City,” took place at the VIFC-HCMC Building, 08 Nguyen Hue Street, District 1, and drew more than 100 senior delegates. Attendees included leaders from central ministries and agencies, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, representatives from coastal provinces (Da Nang, Khanh Hoa, Kien Giang), domestic and international financial institutions, port and logistics enterprises, and international organisations.

The day’s agenda focused on three headline moments: a strategic industry report by Roland Berger, titled “Vietnam Maritime Industry: A Strategic Opportunity for Breakthrough Growth,” which benchmarked leading global maritime financial hubs and mapped a roadmap to raise Vietnam’s domestic value retention from the current 4–5% to 15% by 2035; the official launch ceremony of the IMFE initiative within VIFC-HCMC; and a memorandum of understanding signed between VIFC-HCMC and Gemadept Corporation, owner and operator of Gemalink International Port in Cai Mep – Thi Vai, formalising Gemadept’s role as a founding lead of the initiative. The forum also saw the introduction of the first maritime financial products and initiatives to be developed within the VIFC-HCMC framework.

A seaport system of growing global weight

The ambition behind IMFE is grounded in the rapid rise of southern Vietnam’s port infrastructure. Ho Chi Minh City is home to Cat Lai Port — ranked among the world’s top 21, handling approximately 7.5 million TEUs annually — and Gemalink International Port in Cai Mep – Thi Vai, capable of receiving ultra-large container vessels. These existing assets are set to be joined by the Can Gio International Transshipment Port, a 571-hectare project with a projected capacity of 17 million TEUs per year, further deepening the city’s integration into global logistics and trade networks.

In 2025, the Ho Chi Minh City port system handled over 24 million TEUs, ranking 8th globally according to Lloyd’s List, and was associated with approximately USD 200 billion in import-export turnover, accounting for around 20% of Vietnam’s total trade value. Surrounding this physical infrastructure, a broad ecosystem of supporting services has expanded significantly, spanning cargo handling, warehousing, freight forwarding, customs clearance, and supply chain management. The total annual trade transaction value flowing through the region — encompassing goods, logistics services, and related financial demand – is estimated at over USD 1 trillion.

The financial gap: billions flowing through offshore centers

However, the scale of this physical activity stands in sharp contrast to the financial value Vietnam currently retains. Despite enormous cargo volumes, most high-value maritime financial services generating the largest profit margin including trade finance, ship financing, marine insurance and reinsurance, international payments, and logistics risk management continue to flow through developed offshore maritime financial centers. Vietnam currently captures only around 4–5% of these financial transaction values domestically, leaving an estimated USD 6–8 billion in potential value accessible but unrealised. To complete the maritime value chain and retain these economic benefits onshore, Vietnam must evolve beyond purely physical cargo transshipment. The gradual development of a comprehensive maritime financial ecosystem is an essential and inevitable strategic step.

IMFE: from vision to institutional launch

Against this backdrop, the IMFE initiative took shape as a core component of VIFC-HCMC, with Gemadept Corporation serving as a founding lead. The initiative was first introduced on September 12, 2025, during the symposium “Ho Chi Minh City – A Modern, High-End, High-Value Service Hub,” where Gemadept presented a strategic vision of integrating Vietnam’s deep-sea port infrastructure with a dedicated maritime financial ecosystem. To materialise that vision, the corporation cooperates with the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, leading to its official designation as a Strategic Member of VIFC-HCMC on February 11, 2026, at the Center’s Launching Ceremony. Today, as the operator of Gemalink — a major deep-sea gateway at Cai Mep – Thi Vai — Gemadept is focused on channeling high-value capital flows and advanced financial services directly into Ho Chi Minh City’s real maritime economy.

With this foundation in place, today’s forum pursues three concrete objectives: to officially launch the IMFE as a strategic platform designed to localise maritime financial capital and services, laying the groundwork for Ho Chi Minh City to emerge as one of the region’s leading maritime hubs; to connect financial institutions, banks, insurance companies, shipping lines, logistics enterprises, and international organisations within an integrated ecosystem, bringing the port-to-finance model to life in Vietnam; and to introduce the first maritime financial products and initiatives, creating mechanisms for Vietnamese enterprises to access financing, insurance, and risk management tools domestically rather than through foreign intermediaries.

“Ports such as Can Gio and Cai Mep-Thi Vai are transshipment hubs for cargo flows — VIFC-HCMC must become the transshipment hub for capital flows serving Vietnam’s maritime economy,” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Huan, Vice Chairman of VIFC-HCMC.
