Port consultant advises on Cai Mep efficiency
Member of a Vietnam Logistics Association Executive Committee and house member of heading pier and logistics user Gemadept Corporation, Vu Ninh supposing VIR with an movement devise on how to renovate a Cai Mep-Thi Vai pier formidable into a universe category venue in a not too detached future.
Despite a several billion dollar investment and designation of cutting-edge apparatus and technology, a operational potency of a southern operation of Ba Ria-Vung Tau’s Cai Mep-Thi Vai deep-water seaport formidable has valid below-par. The doubt is, how can this conditions be incited around?
First, it is essential to form common cost sets for pier services, opposite charges, synchronised expansion policies and a setup of a pier supervision indication as good as links between ports in ride and compared infrastructure.
In fact, after 5 years of construction, a highway devise providing ride to a Cai Mep-Thi Vai area has not nonetheless been completed. Another problem that needs to be tackled is that there are a series of mini terminals in Cai Mep area that are detached from any other, so it is critical to figure a depot chain, that helps to extent a time for estimate and thereby attracts some-more vessels.
Second, there is a need to revoke a load volumes between Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria-Vung Tau. In fact, trade overload and stranded line during Ho Chi Minh City ports have tormented transporters and have been some-more revisit over new months. Lines of trucks sitting idle along a Hanoi highway and privately inter-provincial track 25B had poignant amicable and mercantile impacts.
Once ports are non-stop in Cai Mep, supervision has a broader prophesy to dredge and raise into a sea. The pier complement however has nonetheless to realize this prophesy and containers are still strong in Ho Chi Minh City ports.

From that doctrine Vietnam should take divided a need to find suitable solutions, such as tying a load volumes going by Ho Chi Minh City and relocating them to Cai Mep-Thi Vai pier formidable to boost a efficiency.
Third is compelling connectivity between domestic internal waterways and ports in Cambodia, that shares a Mekong River with Vietnam. To spin Cai Mep-Thi Vai into a colourful pier venue, it is a contingency to safeguard well-spoken ride to a Mekong Delta and links with ports in Cambodia’s Phnom Penh. That is one approach to equivalent overloaded highway ride and palliate overload during a Moc Bai Bordergate.
Towards this end, both countries’ ride authorities need to lay together to tackle executive procedures, permitting ships to make entry/exit during river-way limit gates. At present, pier authorities and other agencies during a limit work unchanging hours, they need to work later.
Vietnam’s seaport complement and logistics supply sequence is constituent to a sea mercantile expansion devise and creates a conspicuous grant to a country’s GDP growth. In a broader sense, as Vietnam becomes a desirable investment venue to multinationals and a finish of tellurian boat alliances, a advantages will be enormous, not usually economically, though also in terms of supervision and sea and island security.
