Vietnam’s goal by 2025 is to develop a system of dry ports capable of handling about 20% - 30% of the demand for container import and export with total capacity of about 6 – 8,7 million TEUs/year.
The Vietnam Maritime Administration (VINAMARINE) recently submitted to the Ministry of Transport (MOT) for appraisal of the "Planning for the development of the dry port system in the period of 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050". Notably in this report, the VINAMARINE has set specific goals by 2025: Developing a system of inland ports capable of handling about 20% - 30% of the demand for import and export containers with total capacity of about 6 - 8.7 million TEUs/ year.
Up to now, Vietnam has invested, announced and put into operation 10 inland ports, 6 inland clearance depots - ICDs are operating in the planned locations but the investors have not carry out the procedures for converting into dry ports according to regulations. ICDs are distributed mainly on 5 corridors and economic zones out of a total of 15 corridors and economic areas with inland port planning.
Northern region includes 9 dry ports: Hai Linh, Mong Cai, Tan Cang Dinh Vu, Dinh Vu - Quang Binh, Hoang Thanh, Tan Cang Ha Nam, Tan Cang Que, Phuc Loc and Long Bien; 5 ICDs include Tien Son, Thuy Van, Lao Cai, My Dinh, Hai Duong.
On the other hand, Southern region includes only one dry port - Nhon Trach Tan Cang and 9 ICDs including Phuoc Long, Transimex, Sotrans, Southwest (Tanamexco), Phuc Long, Tan Cang Long Binh, Song Than, Bien Hoa and TBS - Tan Van .
The total volume of goods imported and exported by container through inland ports and operating ICDs is currently about 4.2 million TEUs/year.
According to VINAMARINE, Southern ports can promote the advantages of inland waterway transport (accounting for 35-40%), well support for transshipment of import and export containers by sea, which reduces congestion at seaports and urban traffic in Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC).
Northern inland ports are not connected to seaports as well as Southern inland ports because the sea container transport market is only about 30% compared to the South’s proportion. Besides, Northern seaports do not have frequent congestion. Goods are not required to be transshipped through inland ports to reach seaports like the South, so the capacity rate of inland ports and inland customs clearance ports in the North is still low.
Based on this state, VINAMARINE states the goal of gradually forming and developing the inland port system nationwide to meet the demand for transporting import and export goods, increasing the throughput capacity.
Specifically, by 2025: Developing a system of dry ports capable of handling about 20% - 30% of the demand for container import and export with the total capacity of about 6 - 8.7 million TEUs/year.
In which, the North has total capacity of about 2.2 - 3.0 million TEUs/year. Central and Western Highlands regions have capacity of about 0.24 - 0.37 million TEUs/year. Southern regions with capacity of about 3.5 - 5.3 million TEUs/year.
By 2030, the development of the inland port system is capable of handling about 25% - 35% of the demand for container import that follows with transport corridors. Forming inland ports and clusters with total capacity of about 11.6 - 15.7 million TEUs/year.
In this period, the North has capacity of about 4.2 - 5.5 million TEUs/year; Central and Western Highlands regions have capacity of about 0.66 - 0.95 million TEUs/year; Southern region with capacity of about 6.8 - 9.3 million TEUs/year.
