The Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR) will ink a deal with the Saigon Newport Corporation this April to build two inland container depots (ICDs) in Bình Dương Province and Hà Nội.
New VNR chairman Vũ Anh Minh said the two ICDs will be constructed in the Sóng Thần Industrial Park in the southern province of Bình Dương and in Hà Nội’s Đông Anh District.
Saigon Newport accounts for half of the country’s market share of container shipping services, he noted, adding that it has also gained a large percentage of the container market share - 90 per cent and 70 per cent - in HCM City and the southern province of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, respectively.
VNR will also sign an agreement with the Vietnam Tourism Association and the Nha Trang business association in Khánh Hòa to increase the number of rail passengers.
