Abstract
Development of ICDs is an inevitable trend in the context of reducing port congestion to increase clearance, improve packaging services, warehousing, customs clearance ... For those areas further away from seaports, the cost of direct transport to the port is more expensive than the cost of transshipment at inland ports. This is also an indispensable component in the multimodal transport chain. With a large number of seaports, shipping by sea accounts for 80% of the volume of goods import and export, ICDs are also very developed. So far, ICDs are assessed as the most concentrated logistics service providers in Vietnam. The effectiveness of ICDs is undeniable, especially for areas far from seaports, the cost of direct transport to the port is more expensive than the cost of transshipment through the ICD. Not only do ICDs act as satellites for seaports, but they have also been taking up a significant part of the volume of logistics service needs in domestic and foreign goods supply chains. IICDs in the southern region were born in 1998, such as Dong Nai ICD (1998, 300 ha), Bien Hoa ICD (2000 and 80 ha); Tan Cang - Song than ICD (2001, 500 hectares). At the beginning, ICDs were small in scale and located near seaports. The advantage of connecting with many seaports by waterway and road transportation is the reason why the ICDs appeared early in large numbers in the southern economic region. This is also the port area that accounts for 80% of the country's export volume, so the ICDs here also grow stronger. These ICDs have been linked with seaports and shipping as a link in the multimodal transport chain, promoting their role as a transshipment point between import-export enterprises and seaports.
