M1 Limited, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), and SSI Solutions have signed a strategic, non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to implement 5G technology in Vietnam Maritime Corporation’s (VIMC) operations. This collaboration aims to enhance operational efficiency and drive digital transformation in Vietnam’s maritime sector.
The partnership will leverage M1’s expertise in maritime 5G solutions, VNPT’s 5G network infrastructure, and SSI Solutions’ integration capabilities. The initiative will explore applications such as tele-remote control of equipment, enhanced automated guided vehicle operations, and advanced surveillance systems. These advancements are expected to optimise VIMC’s port operations significantly.
VNPT’s Vice President, Nguyen Nam Long, expressed optimism about the collaboration, highlighting the potential benefits and revenue from 5G technology. Andrew Cheng, M1’s Chief of Enterprise Services, noted the importance of sharing expertise gained from Singapore’s maritime 5G projects to modernise Southeast Asia’s maritime hubs.
In 2022, M1 announced a multi-year project to provide 5G standalone offshore coverage for Singapore’s southern coast, supported by the Maritime and Port Authority and the Infocomm Media Development Authority. This project aims to develop new maritime 5G use cases, contributing to M1’s regional growth strategy.
The partnership marks a significant step in M1’s expansion across Asia, supporting the region’s digital aspirations. By integrating 5G technology, Vietnam’s maritime operations are set to become more efficient and technologically advanced, aligning with global digital transformation trends.
