The domestic container ships has increased to 39 ships, a total increase of freight load is 200% from 2013 to 2015. The coastal shipping routes has transported 6.1 million tons of cargo including coal, slag, stone, rock, metal, fertilizers, cement, ore, fuel oil …

According to Deputy Director of Bureau Bui Thien Thu, cargo volumes through Vietnam’s seaport system in 2015 in accordance with the approved plan in Decision No. 1037 of the Prime Minister in 2014 was 410 million tons. Thus, the volume outperformed 4.1% in 2015 compared with the initial plan.

However, the goods have been misallocated between different domestic seaports. To resolve this situation, there is a need to improve connectivity transport infrastructure and supporting services to relocate goods in different seaports, while speeding up the relocation of the port on the Saigon River and Ba Son shipyard.

During the year, Vietnam Maritime Bureau has completed the review and adjustment of detailed planning of port group 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, thus managing the system more effectively. The Ministry of Transportation approved this plan.

The foreign ship owners are not able to disapprove this decision since prioritising domestic fleets is compatible with the Law of the customs, as well as commitments to the world Trade Organization (WTO) on the protection of the members.

From 2013 to 2015, the fleets of Vietnam were given good opportunity to win back market share in terms of the domestic container shipping, which used to belong to the foreign shipping companies (with an estimated value of 1,000 billion / year). There are various container shipping companies gaining loyal leads which ground stable roots for domestic fleets.

Also Vietnam Maritime Bureau in collaboration with Ministry of Transport, Vinalines, Vietnam Ship Owners Association and Vietnamese ship owners operating on domestic routes ensure the limitation of congestion at seaport.

Average freight rates of Vietnamese fleet are offering customer around 5.2 million / 20-foot container for the north – south journey. This price is equivalent to the unit price of the foreign shipping company in 2012.

There have been more Vietnamese fleet being able to operate on domestic routes such as Hai Phong and Cai Lan to HCMC, Ba Ria – Vung Tau and vice again.

3.Vietnam regulations establishing who can and who cannot provide coastal shipping services, particular containers.

To ensure sufficient capacity to meet the demand for domestic container market, in addition to 30 domestic container shipping companies, Vietnam Maritime Bureau has also allowed 8 foreign fleets owned by Vietnamese enterprises to operate on domestic routes.

The biggest difficulty for domestic container shipping companies is that market has not completely recovered. Currently the container shipping companies from the South to the North reach approximately 80% of capacity, while the reverse route only reaches 50% capacity.

In long term, this policy has enabled the Vietnamese fleet to gradually recover from difficult period when all the domestic container shipping belonged to foreign companies.

Still familiar investors, but with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) expected to come into effect by the end of 2018 and approved by the National Assembly on November 12th, there will be a greater and more quality flow of capital poured into Vietnam.

Two of the large foreign direct investment (FDI) projects registered to invest in Vietnam since the beginning of the year are owned by investors from 11 CPTPP countries. It is the 4.138 billion USD Smart City project of the joint venture between Sumitomo (Japan) and BRG (Vietnam), or the Laguna project register to increase the investment capital by 1.12 billion USD from Banyan Tree (Singapore).

There are also several projects such as Hanbaram Wind Power Plant (150 million USD), Ramatex Nam Dinh Textile and Apparel Factory (80 million USD) of Singaporean investor, Ykk Ha Nam Ykk factory project (80 million USD) of Japanese investors…

In fact, without CPTPP, investment capital from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia… still poured into Vietnam. They are the leading investment partners of Vietnam in the last three decades of FDI attraction.

According to data from the Foreign Investment Agency (Ministry of Planning and Investment), accumulated up to now, Japanese investors have invested in Vietnam over 56.2 billion USD, this figure of Singaporean investors is 46.2 billion USD, Malaysia is 12.5 billion USD, Canada is 5 billion USD, Australia is nearly 1.86 billion USD, Brunei is more than 1 billion USD…

In total, the CPTPP members have invested in Vietnam of about 123 billion USD, accounting for nearly 37% of total registered FDI in Vietnam over the last 3 decades. This is not a small figure, indicating that the investment of CPTPP members is very significant for Vietnam’s FDI attraction.

The CPTTP will create favorable conditions for Vietnam to attract investment capital from other member countries, especially those countries that do not have FTA agreements with Vietnam, such as Canada and Mexico. The reason is that, this agreement will promote trade cooperation, in which trade is associated with investment. On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for Vietnamese enterprises, especially large corporations, to seek investment markets in other member countries.

Moreover, once the plans to invite Thailand, Korea and the UK join the CPTPP successfully, the opportunities for trade and investment cooperation in the region will be even greater. That will bring more benefits to Vietnam.
