The Vietnam Inland Waterways Authority has requested Binh Duong province to address the issue of illegally operated wharves on national waterways passing through the province.
The Vietnam Inland Waterways Authority has sent a document to the People's Committee of Binh Duong province requesting an inspection and review of inland waterway terminals that are no longer in operation in order to complete the necessary paperwork for closure and dismantling in accordance with regulations.
Inspecting wharves and watercraft in Binh Duong province.
For existing and operating inland waterway terminals that violate land use, planning, and water and land area regulations , the People's Committee of Binh Duong province will consider and direct the temporary extension of operation for a period not exceeding 24 months to allow relevant agencies, organizations, and individuals to complete the necessary documents and procedures in accordance with the law.
According to the Vietnam Inland Waterways Administration, this measure aims to minimize negative impacts on society and contribute to the socio -economic development of the locality.
Previously, in October 2024, the Vietnam Inland Waterway Authority conducted an inspection of matters related to the management of inland waterway terminals in Binh Duong province.
Specifically, a random check of the records of local waterway terminals in Binh Duong province revealed that 100% of the terminals lacked planning approvals.
Inland waterway terminals that have been licensed and re-announced to operate are located on land that is not designated for transportation purposes, failing to comply with the land use principles stipulated in the Land Law; furthermore, some terminals lack land use right certificates; there are no relevant documents and no agreements on technical specifications for inland waterway terminals on national inland waterway routes have been reached.
The People's Committee of Binh Duong province has not yet issued regulations on leasing water surface areas associated with inland waterway terminals.
The personnel performing state management functions are mostly part-time and have not received specialized training related to the inland waterway sector, leading to difficulties in state management as well as in assessing whether wharves meet or do not meet the requirements for renewing operating licenses according to regulations.
