Developing dry ports, optimizing import and export cargo transportation

Tan Cang - Moc Bai dry port, which will come into operation in early 2025, is expected to become a place for gathering and checking goods at the border gate area under the "one-stop, one-stop" method between Vietnam and the Kingdom of Cambodia within the framework of the GMS - CBTA agreement dated March 6, 2006. Thereby, it will contribute to reducing traffic congestion, reducing waiting time of vehicles at the border gate, improving the efficiency of the Customs inspection of import and export goods between Vietnam and the Kingdom of Cambodia, facilitating trade between the two countries as well as expanding the Tan Cang Saigon logistics service network to countries in the Southeast Asian region.

Activities at Tan Cang - Moc Bai Dry Port

Every day, Moc Bai International Border Gate has about 800 container vehicles exporting (XK), importing (NK) goods to the Kingdom of Cambodia and vice versa. Previously, at the border gate there were only 2 parking lots for checking actual goods and carrying out customs procedures, so during peak periods, the large volume of exported and imported goods caused local congestion of container vehicles.

Since Tan Cang - Moc Bai Dry Port came into operation and was licensed by the competent authority to conduct the actual inspection of exported and imported goods, this activity at the border gate has initially become much more convenient. The competent authority divides the traffic flow for vehicles carrying exported and imported goods, then the vehicles carrying exported goods undergo actual inspection at the two previous gathering yards. Vehicles carrying imported goods from the Kingdom of Cambodia gather for actual inspection of goods according to customs procedures at the container parking lot of Tan Cang - Moc Bai Dry Port. This division of traffic flow has basically solved the problem of local traffic congestion compared to before.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Tai Tai - Deputy Director of Tan Cang - Tay Ninh Joint Stock Company, said that the company operates on three main pillars: logistics activities; cross-border trading of goods; dry port activities at Moc Bai International Border Gate.

Recently, on October 20, 2025, the Ministry of Construction issued Decision No. 1810/QD-BXD announcing the opening of Tan Cang - Moc Bai Dry Port. When officially put into operation, Tan Cang - Moc Bai Dry Port will be a cross-border cargo transit location between Vietnam and the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Tan Cang - Moc Bai Company has signed a contract to exploit empty containers with two large-scale shipping lines. When logistics activities are officially implemented, it will create conditions for a more favorable flow of goods. Customers from the Kingdom of Cambodia can go to the dry port to receive empty containers for transportation, then transport them to the dry port to complete procedures for importing goods into Vietnam. Enterprises in Vietnam drive vehicles to the dry port to receive containers and transport them back to Vietnam. This will shorten the time for exporting and importing goods, save costs, and increase convenience for related parties./.
