HVS is located at the coast of Vietnam, where any tanker can arrive from Far East after discharging cargoes in about 5 days of steaming. Normally, this is a good time to complete butterwashing of the dirty tanks for gas freeing before drydocking and repairs at HVS, without any loss of time and consumption of fuel by any deviation.

Another important benefit for shipowners, among others, is the competitive gas freeing costs, compared with the neighboring countries, tanks to competitive labor cost.

The charge of port dyes by the Vietnamese government is only 25% of the standard dyes for any vessel entering into Vietnam for tank cleaning purpose.

When the benefit of most competitive repair costs at HVS is considered, the merit of tanker owners will be considerable, if all these benefits for tank cleaning is added up.
