“Although they meet the requirement on financial capacity, SK Securities does not commit to supporting Vinalines in technology and human resources. Therefore, Vinalines will not select this investor and we have not yet found a suitable investor in this equitisation,” a Vinalines representative told local media.

Vinalines is a leading company in the field of maritime transportation and logistics, shipbuilding and seaport exploitation in Viet Nam. Some of its affiliates are the Haiphong Port, Saigon Port, the Viet Nam Ocean Shipping JSC, the Viet Nam Sea Transport and Chartering Company and Vinaship.
