M/V HAIAN BETA made its first call at Chennai Port on 3 October 2026, marking the start of Hai An's direct CVI service linking Vietnam and India.

The CVI service runs monthly on a set rotation.

That rotation covers Nansha, Hai Phong, Port Klang West and Chennai.

Trade between the two countries came to US$13.4 billion in the first eight months of 2026, up 25% year on year.

The HAIAN BETA call at Chennai is another step in Hai An's move into international container shipping.
