Vietnam imports various industrial products and exports agricultural, mining and industrial goods. Such an interactive economic relation is firmly supported by overseas shipping. Although there is no comprehensive policy framework available on Vietnam’s overseas shipping, some expressions regarding shipping nationalisms are observed in government documents such as “transport right”. But the utmost importance is how to provide smooth and economical shipping services to shippers and consignees, since trade is the heart of the economy and transport influences the competitiveness in trade. Thus the policy to strengthen Vietnam’s overseas shipping industry should facilitate trade. Coastal shipping has a significant role in Vietnam. Between 1995 and 1998 the shipping volume doubled despite the Asian economic crisis, proving that the north- south economic linkage has been tightened. Many transport officers and planners believe that coastal shipping is an economical means to carry bulk cargo over long distances. However, not many understand that coastal shipping could also compete even with truckers handling small consignment, if more container and roll on-roll off (roro)

    Chapter 8 Present Situation and Development Plans of Major Sea Ports 8.1 Major sea ports 8.1.1 Hai Phong Port (1) Outline Hai Phong Port is located on the right bank of Cam River and 20 nautical miles (37km) from buoy zero. The port was initially opened by the French in 1879. Hai Phong Port is a nodal point of inter-modal transportation consisting of road (Highway No. 5), inland waterway (corridors 1 & 2) and railway transport. Cargo throughput of Hai Phong Port has been increasing rapidly and reached 7.6 million tons in 2000 (export: 1.2, import: 3.6, domestic: 2.8), which is the highest cargo throughput among the ports in the Northern region. As to port facilities, Hai Phong Port has 17 berths (6 berths for container) with total length of 1,700m (930m for container) and maximum depth of -8.5m (for container). Besides, roadsteads (anchorage area) are located at Bach Dang (3), Hon Gai (9) and Lan Ha (3) for lighterage operation. Tidal range is 3.9m. (2) Current Problems of Hai Phong Port - The depth of the access channel is shallow (current depth: -4.5m) due to alluvium deposit. The vessel over 15,000DWT must be lightened at the anchorage area (roadstead) before berthing. Some 50 vessels (total handling cargo: 0.6 million tons) conducted the lighterage operation in 2001. This increases the handling charges and other expenses. - The maintenance dredging at a published depth in front of berths is insufficient due to lack of fund for maintenance, although mid-way channel is managed and maintained by Vietnam Marine Safety Bureau.

  • IMPACTS of WAVES and SEA LEVEL RISE on Ports DUE to GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGES Viet Nam Sea Ports Case Study
    IMPACTS OF WAVES and SEA LEVEL RISE ON PORTs DUE TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGES Viet Nam Sea Ports Case study Pham Lan Anh Delft, April 2012 Student number 1531484 Master thesis committee: Prof. drs. ir. J.K. Vrijling (TU Delft) Dr. ir. R.J. Labeur (TU Delft) Ir. W.F. Molenaar (TU Delft) IMPACTS OF WAVES AND SEA LEVEL RISE ON PORTS DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGES Preface This thesis is the finalization of my master program in Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of Technology. This study has been carried out mainly at TU Delft and a part in Viet Nam. Climate change is a phrase, a terminology that is daily mentioned on public media, governmental strategy, lectures, books… One of the serious consequences of climate change is rising of mean sea level all over oceans which directly impacts to coastal protection structures, typically are breakwaters and port structures which are not well protected like jetty structures. Viet Nam is the country in the region of direct impact of climate change and sea level rise. The theme "Impacts of Wave and Sea Level Rise due to Climate Changes on Ports - Viet Nam Sea Ports Case study" is actually essential pressing problems at present. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Associate Prof. Pham Van Quoc at Water Resources University of Ha Noi who suggests me this idea via one of his article on the university website. I would like to express my deep gratitude and respect to my supervisors - Prof. Dr. Ir. J.K. Vrijling, Dr. Ir. R.J.

In Transport, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam many places there is a situation where local governments and private enterprises compete with other partners in the same area in an area to build and finance the construction of ports. Currently Vietnam Dong Thi Minh Hao has about 800 - 900 businesses doing logistics services, but most of them only have capital from 1 to Ho Chi Minh city University of 1.5 billion. Therefore, logistics enterprises in Vietnam are mainly agents for large foreign Transport, Ho Chi Minh city, transnational companies. Many Vietnamese ports and containerships are only serving as Vietnam transshipment ports for international ports in Southeast Asia such as Singapore, even with Thailand, although the design capacity is in theory "responsive" transport ships with design tonnage "not Huu Cuong Le inferior" to the other ports. Along with the process of international economic integration, the volume Ho Chi Minh city University of of goods transshipped through Vietnamese ports has increased by 10% / year. However, poorly Transport, Ho Chi Minh city, equipped port facilities and inland transportation systems have hindered the increase in port clearance Vietnam capacity and increased logistics costs.

  • 4.4.5 Management Aspects Generally, Capital Sources for The
    Vietnam National Transport Strategy Study (VITRANSS) Final Report Main Text, Volume 1 4.4.5 Management Aspects Generally, capital sources for the transport sector include state budget, credit loans and foreign aid, cooperation and joint venture capital, income from transport activities, etc. For inland waterway sector, VIWA collects fees from shippers/carriers involved in transport activities such as port operation, waterway transport, ship repair services, and dredging. Shippers/carriers are public operators, several cooperatives and numerous small and independent private operators. The tariff for inland waterway transport is stipulated by the Government Pricing Committee and arrived at by taking into account the distance, commodity value and type of waterway through which cargoes are transported (see Table 4.4.10). Cargo consignment volumes transported using inland waterway differ but the maximum consignment size is around 1,000 tons for a minimum distance of 30 km.

Kennedy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 FAX: (617) 496-5245 Vietnam’s Infrastructure Constraints Nguyen Xuan Thanh* and David Dapice** Prepared under UNDP – Harvard Policy Dialogue Papers∗∗∗ “Series on Vietnam’s WTO Accession and International Competitiveness Research” Policy Dialogue Paper Number 3 * Nguyen Xuan Thanh is Director of the Public Policy Program at FETP and Fellow at the Asia Programs, Harvard Kennedy School. ** David Dapice is Chief Economist at the Vietnam Program, Harvard Kennedy School and Associate Professor of Economics at Tufts University. ∗∗∗ This publication does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations Development Programme, its Executive Board or its Member States. ABSTRACT Successful countries provide economy and society with infrastructure needed to maintain growth. Development experience suggests that investing 7 percent of GDP in infrastructure is the right order of magnitude for high and sustained growth. Over the last twelve years, the government of Vietnam was able to sustain infrastructure investment at 10 percent of GDP. This remarkably high level of investment has resulted in a rapid expansion of infrastructure stocks and improved access. Despite this achievement, Vietnam is experiencing more and more infrastructure weaknesses that negatively affect its ability to sustain high economic growth in the long term. Transport and electricity – the two most essential infrastructure activities – appear to be the weakest infrastructure sectors in Vietnam with blackouts and traffic jams occurring more and more frequently. In transport, many large-scale railway, seaport and airport projects are being planned in near total disregard of the emergence of fast growing industrial clusters.
