In a bid to improve efficiency and services to customers, on 3rd Dec 2010 Saigon Premier Container Terminal (SPCT) cooperating with Dong Nai Port introduced a new facility in Dong Nai Port for containers handling in cooperation between SPCT and Dong Nai Port and announced its new inland clearance depot right at Dong Nai port. With total areas of 7 ha container yard and containerized equipment, Dong Nai port can deliver/receive import and export shipments in the province or neighbouring areas in connection with SPCT by barges. This new facility is specially designed for customers in Dong Nai province including Bien Hoa, Nhon Trach, Trang Bom and neighboring provinces to save logistics cost, relieve congestion and lead time in the supply chain. This creates new opportunities for importers/exporters in the northern areas of Ho Chi Minh City for more competitive products and business expansion. Gerard Van Den Heuvel, CEO of SPCT said: “With Dong Nai port added to existing network of 7 major ICDs (Tan Thuan, Tanamexo, Phuc Long, Transimex, Phuoc Long 3, Sotrans and Bien Hoa ICDs), and our extensive barge network, SPCT can extend its world-class port services to a wider customer scope at the most reasonable expense. The immutable thing is that our success depends on our customers”. VietnamShipper |
