DP World to open terminal in Vietnam in October

DP World , the Dubai-based port operator, on Tuesday said it will open a new terminal near Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in October.

DP World said in a statement the terminal will be located 15 km north of the city and well-placed to serve the city itself, but also the surrounding industrial zone.

The terminal will handle cargo that currently moves through several ports on the Saigon River that will likely be closed down in the next several years.

DP World owns 49 terminals and 12 developments in 31 countries, making it one of the largest marine terminal operators in the world.
