- In this graph, it is easy to recognize that the infrastructure of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand is
quite good compared to other countries such as Cambodia, Philippines and Vietnam. Thus, it can
be clearly seen that Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand have important deep-sea ports as well as
gateway ports in the South East Asia region. It is important to emphasize that infrastructure is
very important for countries to broaden their commerce
- In December, 1999, the Transport Ministerial Agreement on the development of the ASEAN road
network at the ASEAN Transport Ministers (ATM) 5th Conference was signed where ASEAN
members agreed on the shape of the road network including routes that each member was
appointed to join. In addition, each of the countries should repair and upgrade their national roads
belonging to the ASEAN road network following the standard and minimum technical
requirements. The routes will transverse big cities and potential regions, which can connect with
ports, and will have a high technical standard to meet the demands in moving transshipment and
transnational goods. The ASEAN road network system will be fully upgraded and completed in
2020.
- The figure below shows the way cargoes are transported among member countries. As shown in
figure 4.4, maritime transport has developed remarkably in Singapore; this country is the gateway
port, or transshipment port, to transport cargoes to Europe and America. In addition to maritime
transport, road transport has also developed in the seven countries having borders with each other
1.2 Transport system between member countries:
- ASEAN is a flexible region; the growth rates of member countries are high. They are reviewed as
potential regions, and the cargoes transported from and to ASEAN are estimated to increase year
by year.
- The Agreement of ASEAN in 1980 on sea transport and commerce was a guideline for the
cooperation between countries in this respect.
- Some of the main activities were to broaden and modernize ASEAN fleets, promoting the
cooperation of commercial vessels, minimizing the restraints in sea transport, encouraging the
establishment and upgrading of national information systems in transport goods registration,
setting up more ASEAN sea transport committees, increasing the role of ASEAN Port Authorities
Association and ASEAN Shipowners Association, and establishing an advanced environment for
the closer cooperation among ASEAN government and private sectors including non-government
organizations.
Air transport and related services
- Ensuring safety through cooperation within air transport and improving the air traffic control
system have been seen as priorities in air transport.
Cooperation in policy: from the year 1990
Cooperation in Economic and technical research
Cooperation in human resource development.
Cooperation in professional and information exchange.
Ministers also defined the goals for cooperation in the transportation sector:
2.1.3 Conclusion
In legal aspect: Vietnam lacks a specific regulatory system on multimodal transport in the Vietnamese
maritime code, road code, inland waterway code, rail code and aviation code. It is very difficult to
identify the responsibility or to connect transportation types together in a multimodal transport
service.
Infrastructure: Most transport networks, such as road, rail, inland waterway, maritime and air cannot
meet the requirements for international multimodal transport demand. Information technology
support for multimodal transport is deficient, despite being more and more improved.
Enterprises doing multimodal transport business: enterprises are not trained and do not have much
knowledge about transport law, lack experience and find it difficult to compete with foreign
enterprises joining in this type of service in Vietnam.
2.2 Comparison to the other countries
CHAPTER 3: RECOMMENDATION
Là quốc gia không ngừng đổi mới hệ thống cảng và hiện đại hóa đội tàu, Đức mới đây đã
cấp bằng sáng chế cho Port Feeder Barge - Loại sà lan tự hành vận chuyển container có
sức chứa 168 TEU.
Mẫu xà lan này được trang bị cần cẩu hiện đại nhất gắn vào một cây trụ cao. Loại tàu mới
này có thể vận chuyển container trong các cảng và cũng có thể xử lý các container từ các
sà lan nội địa độc lập với các thiết bị cầu cảng (Malchow 2014).
