A national- and international-level logistics system will be set up in association with current seaports, airports, international border gates, key economic corridors and inter-regional trading routes.

The ministry will cooperate with related localities to create an air logistics centre linked to Long Thanh International Airport as well as a port logistics system in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province and HCMC, especially at deep-water seaport in Cai Mep-Thi Vai area, according to a report in a Vietnamese media outlet.

The ministry will initially prepare documents necessary to create an appropriate legal corridor for the management of the logistics market to cultivate coherence and harmony among different transport modes, multi-mode transportation and logistics services.

Next, it will study feasible support measures to improve the operational performance of transport trading floors while encouraging transport businesses to implement advanced technology in monitoring their own vehicles and actively participating in road freight trading floors to optimise current routes and minimise movement of empty vehicles.
