Great opportunity for logistics industry

According to the plan, in 2025, Long Thanh Airport phase 1 will be completed and put into operation with a capacity of serving 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of air cargo per year. Therefore, this project is expected to open great opportunities for the logistics industry of Dong Nai Province.

 

Mr. Nguyen Duy Minh, General Secretary of the Vietnam Logistics Business Association, said that Dong Nai Province is very lucky to have been planned by the Government to build Long Thanh Airport in the area. This is an international airport that plays the role of connecting trade, including trade in goods between Vietnam and the world and vice versa. "With Long Thanh Airport, the southern region has added a large cargo trade connection point by air next to the trade point connecting by sea, which is Cai Mep - Thi Vai Seaport" - Mr. Nguyen Duy Minh shared.

Therefore, to be able to promote the logistics industry to thrive based on the potential of Long Thanh Airport, Mr. Ngo Duy Minh said, it is necessary to have a comprehensive and synchronous plan. Specifically, when planning the development of the airport, it is also necessary to have a plan to develop logistics centers, air cargo logistics.

Assoc, Dr. Ho Thi Thu Hoa, Director of the Vietnam Logistics Research and Development Institute, said that over the past time, Dong Nai Province has been very active in receiving international experiences, especially Korea's in developing sub-regions near Long Thanh Airport. This is the right direction. With the "size" of Long Thanh Airport, in order to develop the logistics industry well, Ms. Hoa said that Dong Nai needs to take into account the regional linkage factor to be able to plan the development of logistics centers. Accordingly, Dong Nai needs to consider and evaluate how neighboring localities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Ba Ria - Vung Tau are planning, how to develop logistics plans to draw the experience. At the same time, Dong Nai also needs to consider options in how to develop a logistics ecosystem, thereby attracting logistics businesses to provide services at the future Long Thanh Airport. Future. "We have a good infrastructure, but without utilities, businesses, and logistics industry resources, we cannot promote the resources of Long Thanh Airport" - Assoc. Ho Thi Thu Hoa evaluated.

Also according to Ms. Ho Thi Thu Hoa, according to Decision 1012/QD-TTg on the planning to develop the logistics center system in the whole country until 2020, with a vision to 2030, approved by the Prime Minister in 2015, the South of Vietnam has 6 logistics centers of Grade I, Grade II and especially a dedicated logistics center for aviation to be built. On this basis, Vietnam Logistics Research and Development Institute has advised Ho Chi Minh City 7 locations to build logistics centers. Among these, there are 2 locations in Linh Trung Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City and High-Tech Park in District 9, Ho Chi Minh City, which are specialized logistics centers for aviation serving Tan Airport. Son Nhat now and Long Thanh Airport in the future. Meanwhile, for Dong Nai, Ms. Hoa said that the planning and development of logistics centers, including specialized logistics centers for aviation, is proving quite "slow".

The right forecast to seize the opportunity

Dong Nai's export turnover of goods currently reaches about US$3 billion per year. According to Mr. Nguyen Duy Minh, with the above export turnover, calculating the source of goods to develop the logistics industry serving Long Thanh Airport needs to have a vision that extends to the entire southern region of the country, connecting with the whole country, and highlands region. "You should not only look at the figure of about US$3 billion in export turnover of Dong Nai Province but also look at the figure of about US$686 billion in export turnover of the whole southern region," said Mr. Nguyen Duy Minh.

In addition to considering the source of goods, Mr. Nguyen Duy Minh also said that Dong Nai needs to determine the right way to attract investment in industries that need to be transported by air. With this factor, the export industries of high-value agricultural products, electronic goods, and high-tech goods are the fields that need to attract investment. "Land area is limited, so if you don't attract the right investors from the beginning, you will lose development opportunities," said Mr. Nguyen Duy Minh.

Similarly, with the source of cargo for Long Thanh Airport, Assoc. Ho Thi Thu Hoa assessed that, not only taking into account the source of domestic goods, Dong Nai also has to consider the source of transit goods from Cambodia to optimize the efficiency of Long Thanh Airport as well as open up development opportunities for logistics industry.

 

With the vision of developing the logistics industry in the direction of regional linkage, Ms. Hoa said that the development of the transport infrastructure system connecting the region plays an extremely important role and is an important factor for success. Because, one of the important factors, evaluating the efficiency of logistics activities is a matter of time. Therefore, in order to attract goods to Long Thanh Airport, it is necessary to consider how the connecting transport infrastructure will be developed. With the trend of multimodal transport development, the connected transport network must focus on all types from road, rail, sea and inland waterways. “We have to do it to ensure that the flow of goods can reach Long Thanh Airport as quickly as possible. This also creates a very good competitiveness for Long Thanh Airport in the future” - Assoc. Ho Thi Thu Hoa emphasized.
