| Abstract | The role and importance of a sea port can not be over-emphasized in view of the amount of cargo that is transported through seaports worldwide. Shippers and other port users are at the mercy of ports and port operators as they conduct their business.
Dong Nai Port is the subject of this study. The port’s current processes, operations, based on the researcher’s personal observation and field data have been examined. A significant delay in cargo loading/discharging activities and waiting time by port users is very evident in the port. The level of service at the port leaves much to be desired as issues of speed, reliability and cost are of increasing concern.
A comparative analysis based on benchmark practices in some leading ports in Ho Chi Minh – Ba Ria Vung Tau- Dong Nai – Binh Duong region were used to identify some areas of lapses using selected port performance indicators with the aim of making recommendations to increase efficiency at the Dong Nai Port. Inland transport infrastructure, ports equipment, technology and effective management processes and tools are some of the ways to facilitate ports operations at the Dong Nai Port. There is a huge potential for the Dong Nai Port if the port is better positioned as a customer oriented organization, and include market in the South of Vietnam. |
