Description

<p>Abstract: This paper aims to reveal the container shipping trends of Viet Nam focusing vessel flows and official container services to Viet Nam ports since 1995. Our approach is practical in order to obtain useful information for port operators and policy makers which play an important role for evaluating the degree of integration of Viet Nam ports with container networks. Our main findings are 1) Container shipping services to Viet Nam market have increased in both quantities (with larger vessels) and qualities (more frequent and reliable services). 2) Cai Mep ports emerge as a local hub port for cargo from South Eastern Viet Nam bounding for Transpacific and Trans Eurasian. 3) The shares of Hong Kong and Singapore decline with increase of direct shipping from/to Cai Mep ports. From our findings, we finally address two policy implications for enhancing the efficiency in container transport from/to Southern of Viet Nam: 1) shifting vessel flows to Cai Mep ports is necessary, 2) improving connectivity between Cai Mep ports and its hinterland is demanded.</p>
