b) Development objectives

- General objectives:

To gradually form and develop the ICD system in order to meet the needs of transporting imports and exports, facilitate capacity of clearance for seaports; organize transport of containers properly to cut freights and inventory period at seaports and ensure goods safety; contribute to reduce traffic congestion, especially in big cities.

...

...

+ By 2020, the ICD system is expected to reach the capacity of approximately 6 million TEU per year, in which: 1.2 million TEU per year for the northern region, 600,000 TEU per year for the central region and 4.2 million TEU per year for the southern region;

2. Contents of the planning

a) ICD functions

- Receiving and consigning goods transported by container vehicles;

- Packing and unloading of containers;

- Transportation of cargo containers from ICDs to seaports and vice versa;

- Checking and completing customs procedures for exports and imports;

- Consolidating and dividing cargoes for multiple consignors in the same container;

- Temporary warehouses for storing exports, imports and empty containers;

...

...

...

b) Criteria for formation of ICDs

- ICDs shall be connected with seaports by at least 2 modes of transport in order to facilitate multimodal transportation (priority shall be given to ICDs located in areas associated with modes of high transport capacity);

- ICDs shall connect conveniently with the transport system, utilize properly modes of transport in a cost-effective manner and ensure safety in the transport process;

- ICDs shall ensure sufficient land fund to meet the needs of long-term development (at least 10ha);

- ICDs shall ensure sufficient area to arrange workplaces for concerned authorities and organizations;

- ICDs shall ensure the compliance with regulations of law on environmental protection, technology, national security, fire safety and construction investment in accordance with regulations of law in the course of construction and operation.
