In line with the policy of relocating the handling of IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) containers out of Cat Lai Port (TCCL) to ensure safety and fire prevention for the port and the surrounding areas, TCSG will implement new regulations for IMDG container handling at TCCL starting from July 1, 2024.
Regulations for IMDG Container Handling for Import and Export at TCCL Starting July 1, 2024
For IMDG containers arriving at TCCL, the port will only serve as a discharge port. Once the IMDG containers are unloaded onto the yard, they will need to be transported to the destination port for delivery. For export, TCCL will only accept IMDG export containers within 24 hours before the scheduled vessel arrival time as registered by the shipping line.
At the seminar titled “Guidelines on IMDG Container Handling Regulations for Import and Export at Tan Cang – Cat Lai Port According to Notice No. 1774/TB-TCg” held on June 25, 2024, Mr. Truong Tan Loc, Marketing Director of TCT TCSG, who chaired the seminar, affirmed: “The ‘Safety First’ principle is a fundamental motto in the maritime and logistics industry, and investing in a dedicated hazardous goods storage area for IMDG is a key part of our efforts to ensure safety in port operations.
This is also in line with the government’s, state agencies’, and Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee’s policies for planning seaport clusters nationwide, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, to develop green and safe economic zones. TCT TCSG has been developing a roadmap for the planning and modernization of Cat Lai Port over the years, and relocating the IMDG cargo area out of Cat Lai Port is an integral part of this plan for building a green and safe port.”
Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc and ICD Tan Cang Nhon Trach – New Destinations for IMDG Cargo
Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc Port (TCHP) - Cat Lai Terminal D is positioned as the best "extended arm" for Cat Lai Port (TCCL) and the Cai Mep Port cluster (Ba Ria – Vung Tau). Covering an area of 17 hectares, TCHP - Cat Lai Terminal D operates two container berths and four barge berths, with a main quay length of 420 meters located on Soai Rap River, capable of handling vessels with a capacity of up to 50,000 DWT.
The hazardous cargo storage area at TCHP - Cat Lai Terminal D can accommodate 700-1,000 TEUs at one time and can be expanded as needed. It is equipped with four forklifts and one empty container handler. Additionally, TCHP - Cat Lai Terminal D features a modern fire protection system including automatic smoke and fire alarms, mobile fire extinguishers, an automatic sprinkler system, and a 24/7 security camera surveillance system to ensure the safety of the cargo.
TCSG is committed to offering free storage; no limits on the time for early drop-off; free transportation between TCCL and TCHP for IMDG containers for import and export; and commitments to timely transportation between Terminals A/B/C/D.
ICD Tan Cang Nhon Trach (ICD TCNT) is a crucial link connecting import and export goods not only in Nhon Trach but also throughout the Dong Nai region to key ports such as Cat Lai, Phu Huu, and Cai Mep.
ICD TCNT has invested in infrastructure with a total area of 27.5 hectares, a yard capacity of 10,500 TEUs, a design throughput of 320,000 TEUs per year, a 320-meter quay with four barge berths capable of accommodating 3,000 - 5,000 DWT vessels, and a 6.2-hectare warehouse designed to meet regional cargo needs. The IMDG cargo area at ICD TCNT spans 3 hectares and features a new, fully integrated fire protection and chemical spill response system with modern equipment including a 3,000-liter foam station, 21 foam extinguishing units, a continuous fire barrier system, direct water supply from the Cai River through a pumping station, a closed-loop water supply network, and a 24/7 security camera system.
With superior capabilities, well-planned infrastructure, and comprehensive safety and fire protection measures for the IMDG cargo area, Cat Lai Terminal D - Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc and ICD Tan Cang Nhon Trach are set to become reliable and effective destinations for businesses in the transportation and handling of hazardous goods in the near future.
Air cargo is heating up again in a very concrete way: speed is no longer just a company advantage—it is increasingly a national advantage. IATA recorded strong global air cargo growth and a record year in 2024, and in 2025 several months continued to set new highs in demand measured by CTK, suggesting this is not a short-lived surge.
Air logistics is entering a new cycle. International demand is rising fast, shippers are prioritizing speed and reliability, and exporters face tighter scrutiny on documentation and origin. In this context, the real question is no longer whether Vietnam should expand air logistics, but how to build capacity in the right architecture—one that scales volumes while strengthening Vietnam’s role in regional supply chains.
In recent years, “logistics digital transformation” has become a familiar buzzword across industry forums. Yet inside many day-to-day operations, the reality remains mixed: different software for different functions, heavy reliance on Excel and phone calls, and data trapped within departmental silos.
In late February 2026, the Board of Directors of Glotrans Vietnam attended a New Year Dinner & Dance hosted by an international partner, marking a meaningful milestone in the increasingly strong and expansive collaboration between Glotrans and its global partner network.
In the joyful atmosphere of the first days of the New Year, Glotrans Vietnam proudly hosted its 2026 New Year Party to welcome the Spring of Binh Ngo, with the presence of the Board of General Directors, the Board of Directors, and all employees across the system, including offices in Hai Phong, Hanoi, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Dear Valued Customers and Partners, Glotrans would like to respectfully announce the Lunar New Year holiday schedule for 2026 as follows:
The shipment of food additives was transported in container No. FCIU3301688 (20’), under B/L MPRSMUM1806, on the voyage from Nhavasheva Port (India) to Dinh Vu Port (Hai Phong, Vietnam) on 29/04/2017.
Company T (Plaintiff – the Insured) entered into an insurance contract with Company B (Defendant – the Insurer). After the insured event occurred, the Insurer alleged that the Insured had violated its obligation to prevent and mitigate losses. The Arbitral Tribunal acknowledged that such an obligation exists but concluded that the Insured did not breach it.
Under the insurance contract, the premium was to be paid in three installments, and in all three, the insured party was late in payment. When a dispute arose, the insurer (Defendant) argued that the insurance contract had terminated before the insured event occurred due to the late premium payment and therefore refused to make an insurance payout. However, the Arbitral Tribunal held a contrary view.
