In the near future, 10 vessels carrying Vinalines containers will be managed by the centre, said Trang, who is also Director of the centre, adding that it will help form a network to professionally tap into Vinalines containers and prevent internal competition among Vinalines container businesses.
Once operational, the centre will help Vinalines become flexible in arranging vessels’ schedule and services.
It will also cut half of management cost, equivalent to nearly VND18.7 billion (US$813,000), due to decrease in workforce and office rentals.
