Two new inland container depots announced

Vietnam has added two new inland container depots (ICDs), bringing the national total to 19, according to the Ministry of Construction.

The newly added facilities are the Cai Mep ICD in Ho Chi Minh City and Tan Cang–Moc Bai ICD (Phase 1) in Tay Ninh province, supplementing the list announced in March 2025.

The Cai Mep ICD is located in Cai Mep Industrial Park in Phu My ward (now part of Ho Chi Minh City) and is developed by Cai Mep International Logistics JSC. Covering 9.15 hectares, the depot has an annual handling capacity of about 133,000 TEUs.

Meanwhile, the Tan Cang–Moc Bai ICD (Phase 1) is situated in the Moc Bai Border Gate Economic Zone in Tay Ninh province and is invested by Tan Cang–Tay Ninh JSC.

Vietnam’s ICD network spans key localities, including Lao Cai, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Ninh Binh, Dong Nai, and Ho Chi Minh City, forming an integral part of the country’s transport infrastructure.

Under Government Decree 38/2017/ND-CP, ICDs serve as vital logistics hubs linking seaports, airports, inland waterways, railways, and road border gates. They function as “inland customs ports,” handling container loading and unloading, cargo consolidation, customs clearance, storage, and container maintenance, thereby helping streamline import-export activities.
