The Hanoi People's Committee has approved a proposal to build thecountry's largest inland container depot (ICD) in Duc Thuong commune,Hoai Duc district, west of the city.
The committee's decisionallows the state-owned International Investment Trade and Service Group(Interserco) to invest in the construction of the depot, which willcover 18.2ha of land in what is now mostly a rice-cultivation area.
Themain construction area spans 64,085sq.m, including a six-storeycustoms office and a six-storey operations office, warehouses, a bondedwarehouse, and an inspection area among other additions to the technicalinfrastructure.
The total investment of the project is estimatedto be 1.6 trillion VND (75.1 million USD), with 20 percent contributedby Interserco and the other 80 percent coming from other sources.
Interserco plans to begin construction this year and is expected to finish in the third quarter of 2017.
Theconstruction will replace the 52,000sq.m. My Dinh ICD, currently thelargest ICD, on Pham Hung Road in the south of Hanoi, which connects thenorthern portal city of Hai Phong with International Noi Bai Airportand Huu Nghi border gate, effectively connecting Vietnam with China inLang Son province.
The My Dinh ICD offers warehouses, standardfacilities and infrastructure, customs clearance, and global freightmanagement. It also has expertise with import-export procedures,packing, loading and unloading services and warehousing anddistribution, as well as cross-border logistics solutions and duty-freegoods services.
Interserco claimed it had decided to expand theservice and move the depot to avoid traffic congestion in urban areas inlight of the growing demand for transportation and logistics services.
Lastyear, the local media reported that the Hanoi Customs Department hadachieved a total export and import turnover of 18.54 billion USD, anincrease of 16.6 percent over 2013, adding that My Dinh ICD hadcontributed strongly to the result.-VNA
