As Vietnam accelerates its investment in integrated transportation infrastructure, the high-speed railway Lào Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong has emerged as a strategic “backbone” for the logistics industry. This modern transport route not only links the northern midland and mountainous areas with key economic and seaport centers, but also serves as a springboard for fast-growing logistics enterprises like NQY SERVICE.

Inter-regional and international infrastructure: A foundation for cross-border connectivity

According to the national railway network development plan (Decision No. 1769/QĐ-TTg), the Lào Cai – Hải Phòng high-speed railway is one of the nine new railway lines prioritized for investment. Spanning approximately 392 km, it runs through several key economic provinces such as Yên Bái, Phú Thọ, Vĩnh Phúc, Hanoi, Hải Dương, and Hải Phòng. With a modern technical standard (1,435 mm gauge, speed of 160–200 km/h), the line is designed for both passenger and freight trains, and is expected to be completed between 2030 and 2045.

The railway will directly connect with the Kunming – Lào Cai railway (China), forming an international logistics corridor from inland China to Hải Phòng Port – Vietnam’s strategic export gateway to ASEAN and global markets.

Cost optimization – Competitive edge enhancement

One of the key advantages of railway transport over road is the ability to move large volumes reliably and cost-effectively. Calculations show this line can: reduce transport costs by 20–30% compared to road; shorten Lào Cai – Hải Phòng travel time from 12–18 hours to just 5–6 hours; relieve pressure on existing highways and national roads. This is a prime opportunity for companies like NQY SERVICE to optimize supply chains, reduce service costs, and enhance competitiveness both domestically and internationally.

Expanding domestic and international logistics capabilities

Running through major industrial zones and agricultural production areas, the railway allows NQY SERVICE to quickly establish an efficient domestic distribution network: sourcing raw materials from the Northwest at lower costs and shorter timeframes; enabling two-way goods delivery (from supplier → factory → customer).

Multimodal transportation integration and regional economic linkage

By leveraging its location along the cross-border economic corridor, NQY SERVICE can: invest in warehouses, cold storage, and container yards at key stations like Yên Bái, Vĩnh Phúc, and Hải Dương; offer high-speed container transshipment, customs clearance, and international transport services; become a strategic partner of corporations from China, Japan, and South Korea; and actively participate in the logistics chain linking major infrastructure projects such as Long Thành Airport, Cái Mép – Thị Vải Port, and Cần Giờ Port.

A golden opportunity to breakthrough. The Lào Cai – Hải Phòng high-speed railway is not merely an infrastructure project—it is a strategic lever to promote regional economic growth and elevate Vietnam’s logistics industry. With long-term vision, proactive strategy, and a solid foundation, NQY SERVICE is standing before a “golden opportunity” to strengthen its brand, expand market share, and affirm its role in the regional supply chain. In the era of Logistics 4.0—where speed and connectivity define competitive advantage—NQY SERVICE is ready to make a breakthrough alongside this strategic transportation route.
