The planned logistics centers will have a system of warehouses, bonded warehouses, dump yards, etc to meet the requirements of production and circulation of goods in the country, as well as import and export of Long An and the Southern key economic region.
After being put into operation, logistics centers will meet the functions of serving goods such as loading and unloading, warehousing, preservation, classification, and packaging of goods, etc; transport functions and distribution such as transportation, collection, and distribution of goods by different means of transport. In addition, it also performs support functions such as customs clearance, procedures, papers, maintenance activities for transport vehicles, supply of gasoline, etc.
The logistics center is linked to many modes of transportation such as road, river, and sea, and it performs tasks relating to transportation, logistics, and distribution of local and international commodities. As a result, businesses in the area will benefit from shorter transit times for goods in the supply chain, lower logistical costs, and improved efficiency and competitiveness.
In parallel with the construction of logistics centers, Long An focuses on implementing many measures to build a competitive transport market in the direction of developing multimodal transport, connecting between different modes of transport. In addition, focusing on applying information technology also helps to reduce transportation costs to facilitate the circulation and distribution of goods and services of enterprises.
At the same time, the province focuses on implementing planning, accelerating the construction progress of key traffic works, and perfecting the traffic infrastructure connecting throughout the area from industrial zones and clusters to provinces and cities in the region and Long An international port, meeting the travel and cargo needs of people and business.
