PACIFIC Vietnam Scramble Carriers and forwarders are bullish about Vietnam’s potential as a center of cargo.

“Now we see more contract manu- facturers, more production of elec- tronics,” said Steve Dearnley, chief executive for the Asia-Pacific region of Schenker International. He pointed to Intel’s decision to build a $300 million assembly and test facility for chips and computer parts in the country. “That kind of invest- ment tends to draw in a gaggle of re- lated manufacturing,” Dearnley said.
