Lack of large vessels is difficult to "ocean"

Do not invest in container fleet so enterprises (companies) Transport Vietnam has made this market completely to foreign carriers. Remaining dry bulk segment, the fleet of Vietnam has enough competitiveness?

Large ships ... you with the advantage of geographical location, maritime transport sector is the most powerful development in the transport industry in Vietnam. According to the Vietnam Maritime Administration, in 2011, the volume of cargo throughput reached 290 million tons by sea, to 500-600 million tons in 2015 and is expected to reach approximately 900-1100 million tons in 2020. The advantage is that but at present, exports of Vietnam is in the hands of foreign shipping. For example, clinker - exports huge quantities entirely by fleets of Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong ... responsibility. Rice exports to African countries, the Middle East with an estimated population of 12000-50000 ton ship also saw no Vietnam. Goods exports to China of wood chips with every order to 10000-20000 BDMT (dried ton) also completely absent of Vietnam fleets. Hang cassava chips, salty sand exports to Singapore as well as China's transport fleet. Not only goods, commodities Vietnam imports large quantities such as coal, gypsum, bran, animal feed and raw materials for livestock ... as well as the large vessels of water external carriage. One of the reasons why Vietnam shipping companies could not compete because of ... lack of large vessels. Already missing but some also for foreign vessels operating lease, the rest lies in the harbor heaven ... wait sale. But it is not easy to sell! Most boat owners are financial companies so they do not want to price too low compared with the value of the ship days before they were bought for money. If sold at the current price, the more losses, while retaining the ship languished despite rain and wind erosion on the books but the numbers remain as beautiful as the day closed. Also selling high as desired DN nobody bought by unrealistic value. So the ship was exposed to rain this year and months. Small vessels pinched Not only large ships disadvantage that small vessels also took advantage over foreign competitors. Cement and clinker exports small quantities to ship 3000-8000 tons are plenty Vietnam ship transport but most mediated export companies trading in Singapore. They are international business experience to the transportation contracts often contain clauses detrimental to shipowners Vietnam. For example, working conditions customary port (CQD), shippers retain 5% -10% charter rates to ensure the handling of disputes later. Rice export to Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines though as companies are Vinafood assign priority ship chartering and Vietnam but have terms unfavorable to the shipowner. For example, the customary unloading ports have been a number of companies importing partners to utilize floating storage vessels do .... They just buy and when to bring the ship to the new port every sale rather than planning ahead. Similarly, the fertilizer, the Chinese exporters for the right to hire and to make loading and unloading conditions not conducive to the shipowner. Vietnam fleets can now only shipped some items in the ASEAN region with small quantities as gypsum, feldspar, coal, steel, equipment, ore ... Some dynamic businesses, take the ship through lanes exploit the Middle East, India as wood, cement, ores, sand, fertilizer, salt ... The lanes are prices and contract conditions better than domestic routes as well such as Southeast Asia region, but many potential security risks, on the dishonesty of the business areas. What is needed now is to make Vietnam enterprises when concluding contracts for export and import has been the favorable conditions and not pinched by foreign enterprises. Besides, the State should introduce new regulations to sell or dismantle the ship had lain long in ports to avoid wasting too large as today. Need redevelopment fleet matching the actual transport of goods of Vietnam and the region; especially the priorities for business enterprises are mainly overseas.
