Vietnam’s southern ports need management revamp: official
Concerted efforts are needed to improve the operational efficiency of the No 5 seaport system, particularly the Cai Mep–Thi Vai Port in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, to make it a regional entrepot in the future, a ministry official has said.
Speaking at a seminar on the Cai Mep–Thi Vai Port Project held on 20 January in Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Cong said the seaport system should no longer depend on regional ports like Singapore and Hong Kong when shipping Vietnamese commodities to overseas markets.
