Abstract

Ho Chi Minh City is the centre and focal point for developing the largest logistics service in the country. As one of the two economic leaders with the most active export-import and domestic consumption in the country, Ho Chi Minh City Logistics market is an attractive "piece of cake" for investors. Currently, the establishment of industrial parks next to seaports is becoming an inevitable trend. Not only serving the socio-economic development of the region and locality, but also one of the factors serving very well for port logistics and logistics services. These are two factors that support each other and create strengths for regions and localities that have strengths in seaports. In Vietnam, the trend of industrial parks associated with seaports has been increasingly flourishing and promoting efficiency. This article shows the real situation of the port system, infrastructure, and facilities of logics in Ho Chi Minh City. Besides the strengths and opportunities of the city's port system, the weaknesses and difficulties of the non-logical transport systems are also clarified. It is found that major constraints, strength, weakness, opportunities and risk have significant effects on seaport management. Several synchronous solutions are also proposed to improve the capacity and competitiveness of the seaport system and the logistics industry of Ho Chi Minh City.
