HTK Shipping and Import-Export
Company Limited

Welcome to HTK Shipping and Import-Export Co., Ltd., where our journey began on April 12, 2002, in Hai Phong City, the maritime gateway of Vietnam. From our headquarters at 341 Da Nang Street, we have grown from a dedicated shipping company into a diversified enterprise, proudly ranked among the Top 500 Largest Private Enterprises in Vietnam (VNR500, 2023) and recognized as the third-largest enterprise in the country’s maritime transport sector in terms of revenue, profit, growth, and total assets.

At HTK, maritime transport is not only our core service but also the foundation of our business ecosystem. It anchors our operations and drives our expansion as we strengthen our role within the global supply chain. Backed by a highly skilled and professional team, we provide comprehensive ocean freight solutions, while extending our capabilities across maritime services, import-export trading, and office leasing.

Over more than two decades of development, we are deeply grateful to our esteemed partners, dedicated employees, and loyal customers—your trust and support have been instrumental to our success. We look forward to continuing this journey together, building enduring value and reaching new horizons.
