In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 15 vessel arrivals at Haiphong, with Cargo accounting for 64% of port calls — in line with the South China Sea regional average of 66%. Haiphong in Vietnam sits along the most heavily contested waters on Earth. More than one-third of global shipping — roughly $3.4 trillion in annual trade — passes through the South China Sea, with overlapping territorial claims from China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan. China's artificial-island construction in the Spratly and Paracel archipelagos has expanded the operational reach of its coast guard and maritime militia, both of which have been documented harassing commercial vessels near disputed features. Piracy and armed robbery persist in the southern reaches, particularly between Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Typhoon season (June–November) adds significant schedule and fuel uncertainty for voyages routed through the region.
Routed sea distances from Haiphong to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
Across 15 distinct vessel arrivals, 14 carry a confirmed AIS ship-type code. The most common categories at Haiphong:
Haiphong falls under the Tokyo MoU. The Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (Asia-Pacific) maintains the most active publicly-available regional PSC programme. Across the last 24 months, the Tokyo MoU detention dataset records 5,527 distinct vessel detentions (sourced from OpenSanctions, as of 2026-09-13). Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity.
