Vietnam enjoys some of the most favorable natural resources in Southeast Asia in terms of inland waterways from an international river network of total 42,000 kilometers (26,098 miles) in length, of which 8,000 kilometers (4,971 miles) used for inland water transport. This river network connects neighboring countries, including southwestern China, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, and leads to the South China Sea gateway in Vietnam. Benefiting from this excellent natural resource Vietnam carries around 20 percent of its annual freight volume on its inland waterways.

With a dense network of rivers and canals spread through the country, barge transport remains the 2nd most important transport mode besides road transport.

Barge transport not only feeds containerized cargo to most of the mainline vessels at major container ports along Cai Mep – Thi Vai river in South Vietnam or Red River in the north, but also bring many other types of cargo in bulk such as rice, soyabean, wheat, or construction materials such as gravel, sand, or in break-bulk like wood logs, concrete pipes or piles, steel coils, steel plates and structures,..

Moreover, with a rapid development of industrial zones across the country many companies who manufacture, build or fabricate over-sized, heavy-lift items in sectors like shipbuilding, power generation equipment, oil & gas equipment or machinery fabrication have rushed to rent land plots which have direct access to inland waterways in order that their over-sized cargoes can be loaded on barges or coastal vessels conveniently after production. Barge transport plays a real important role in their business

We understand this need and we want to satisfy this on-going demand in not only cost-effective but most efficient way.

Our aim is to offer professional and quality barge transport which focuses not only on bulk cargo but especially on break-bulk, over-sized, heavy-lift and project cargoes.

We offer barge transport along major river routes throughout Mekong River in the south and Red River in the north.

Our barges can transport cargoes from your factory regardless of its locations, provided we can go alongside safely, to any sea ports in Vietnam

We also transport cargoes among along the routes from China – Hong Kong – Taiwan towards other Southeast Asian countries until bay of Bengal
