    Cat Lai Port cannot accommodate larger ships due to its shallow depth of 12.5m and location on the narrow Dong Nai River. Larger pan-Asian vessels of 4,500-5,500 TEU and East/West vessels of 20,000 TEU cannot dock. While over 90% of containers from Cai Mep Port are barged to Cat Lai, there is no formal barge infrastructure, leading to congestion as barge traffic increases to meet growing regional demand. Without upgrades, the entire port network on the Soai Rap River risks being overwhelmed by 2030 when container volume is projected to increase 55% to 8.42 million TEU annually.

    Why does Cat Lai not allow ships with a larger capacity to dock and maximize
    their cargo handling capacity?

    Tan Cang - Cat Lai port in Ho Chi Minh City

    According to a pre-feasibility study on congestion relief and trade logistics facilitation at


    Cat Lai Port conducted by the US Agency for International Development's Trade Facilitation
    Program (USAID TFP Project) Currently, Vietnam's economy will recover after the Covid - 19
    pandemic.
    Amid growing demand in the region, the USAID-funded TFP project report shows that
    the entire port network along the Soai Rap River will soon be overwhelmed. By 2030, the
    number of containers docked here will increase by 55%, from 5.43 million to 8.42 million TEU.
    In that year, according to the most feasible scenario, ports along the Soai Rap River will only
    operate at 75% of their total capacity, but Cat Lai port could still experience serious congestion if
    no urgent solutions are taken.
    Moreover, this port can hardly receive pan-Asian ships. Currently, the largest vessel that
    the port can handle is 3,000 TEU. However, the size of vessels on the inter-Asian routes has
    increased due to the increased number of containers. Inter-Asia routes have been expanded to
    connect several regions in Asia and put into service 4,500 - 5,500 TEU vessels each. If the
    infrastructure of Cat Lai port and other ports along the Soai Rap River remains unchanged, inter-
    Asia ships of 5,000 TEU each and East/West vessels of 20,000 TEU will not be able to dock at
    this port. Instead, they will go to Cai Mep Port and container shipping to/from Cat Lai Port by
    barge will increase.

    DWT

     Cat Lai Port operates right on the Dong Nai River, 43 meters from Vung Tau pilot station
    and has a depth of 12.5m in front of the wharf. Therefore, vessels larger than the specifie
    d TEU limit will not be able to dock due to the depth of the water and the area of the river.
    In addition to larger vessels, ports have seen a sharp increase in the number of containers of
    all sizes. The use of larger pan-Asian vessels will not impede river container transportation to
    HCMC. In contrast, the number of barges entering and leaving Cat Lai Port will increase
    significantly thanks to lower freight service costs compared to trucks.
    Although large ships cannot enter Cat Lai port, more than 90% of unloaded containers at Cai
    Mep port are transported by barge to Cat Lai. There is no formal infrastructural system for these
    barges and they have occupied space for the berths at Cat Lai, which are needed for large
    vessels. According to the report, there is no barge berth at Cat Lai port or an official barge
    network from Cai Mep to Cat Lai, which will lead to severe congestion as commercial activity
    increases.
    Amid growing demand in the region, the USAID-funded TFP project report shows that the
    entire port network along the Soai Rap River will soon be overwhelmed. By 2030, the number of
    containers docked here will increase by 55%, from 5.43 million to 8.42 million TEU. In that
    year, according to the most feasible scenario, ports along the Soai Rap River will only operate at
    75% of their total capacity, but Cat Lai port could still experience serious congestion if no urgent
    solutions are taken.
     Therefore, it is not possible for large ships to dock and maximize cargo handling
    capacity. Congestion of goods or ships and container trucks can cause serious and long-
    lasting consequences, which will seriously affect the transportation of goods in the future
    if not resolved in a timely manner.
