Quang Ninh - Some open-pit mines of TKV in Quang Ninh have opened spring, while underground mining companies are mobilizing vehicles to return to their hometowns to pick up miners to Quang Ninh.

Today (the 6th day of Tet), hundreds of cars of underground coal mining companies of Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (TKV) simultaneously welcomed miners and relatives from their hometowns to Quang Ninh to officially return to work on February 23 (the 7th day of Tet) after the Binh Ngo Tet holiday.

Previously, TKV arranged 314 train and bus trips to take 11,887 miners and their families from Quang Ninh back to their hometowns for Tet; supported 20,000 bus tickets for workers in remote and isolated areas who did not arrange shuttle buses with a total amount of 16.3 billion VND.

Quang Hanh Coal Company, the first underground mining unit, organized buses to go to their hometowns to pick up miners and relatives to Quang Ninh on the 5th day of Tet.

To create the most favorable conditions for workers, the Company has mobilized 11 high-quality bus trips, spreading throughout the provinces and cities in the Northwest, Northern and Central regions to welcome workers back to the unit.

The schedule is scientifically designed with 2 main departure times being 6:30 am and 1:00 pm, ensuring coverage of key areas, such as: Southern route welcoming in Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Thanh Hoa, Ninh Binh; Northern & Northwest route connecting Dien Bien, Son La, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Ha Giang, Tuyen Quang; Inner region & surrounding route passing through Hung Yen, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh...This professionalism helps miners and their families to be completely assured about the journey back to the unit after the warm Tet holidays.

Organizing "two-way" trips (bringing workers home and welcoming them back to work) has long become a cultural beauty of TKV.This solution solves the difficult problem of transportation during peak seasons, helping miners feel secure in enjoying the joy with their families and return to the unit on schedule.

Meanwhile, open-pit coal mining companies and some other units of TKV, which often do not have workers in distant provinces and cities, have started spring mining from the 4th day of Tet.

In which, on the morning of the 4th day of Tet, Deo Nai Coal - Coc Sau Joint Stock Company organized the Spring opening and resumed work after the Lunar New Year holiday of Binh Ngo in 2026. This is one of the largest open-pit mines of TKV.
