Viet Nam Country Profile
Generic country information can be located from sources which are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures.
Generic Information:
Vietnam (Listeni/ˌviːətˈnɑːm/, /viˌɛt-/, /-ˈnæm/, /ˌvjɛt-/;[7] Vietnamese pronunciation: [viət˨ naːm˧] ( listen)), officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV; Cộng hòa Xã hội chủ nghĩa Việt Nam (About this sound listen)), is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. With an estimated 90.3 million inhabitants as of 2012, it is the world's 13th-most-populous country, and the eighth-most-populous Asian country. The name Vietnam translates as "Southern Viet" (synonymous with the much more ancient term Nam Viet), and was first officially adopted in 1802 by Emperor Gia Long and again in 1945 with the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh. The country is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and the South China Sea to the east.[8] Its capital city has been Hanoi since the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1976. - Wikipedia (publisher), Vietnam, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam, Date last accessed: 19 Oct 2013.

Volcanic Eruptions |
No | n/a |
High Waves / Surges |
Yes | Low - Though a tsunami has not yet happened in Viet Nam, many coastal areas of Viet Nam may be affected by a tsunami due to the earthquake potential that exists in some neighboring countries. |
Wildfires |
Yes | Medium |
High Winds |
Yes | High - The storm season lasts from May to December The frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones originating in the Pacific have increased over the last few decades and pose as one of the major disasters affecting Viet Nam |
Other Comments |
Because of its topography, Viet Nam is susceptible to typhoons, floods, droughts, sea water intrusion, landslides, forest fires and occasional earthquakes of which typhoons and floods are the most frequent and most devastating hazards. The storm season lasts from May to December with storms hitting the northern part of the country in May through June and moving gradually south from July to December. Given the massive concentration of its population along the coastline and in the low lying deltas, disasters cause a high loss of life and damaged livelihoods. The encroachment of economic activity and development into marginally suitable areas such as floodplains, costal swamps, drainage channels or other natural buffers only adds to the vulnerability of the population. |

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
The Government of Viet Nam holds primary responsibility for providing humanitarian assistance to people in need.
The United Nations Natural Disasters and Emergencies Program Coordination Group ( PCG 10) serves as a forum for UN agencies, including FAO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNIFEM, UN HABITAT, WHO, IOM and WB.
The objective of this Preparedness Plan is to ensure coordination of UN assistance to the Government of Viet Nam (GoV) in respect to disaster risk reduction, disaster preparedness, mitigation, relief/ rescue, rehabilitation and reconstruction.
The National Disaster Mitigation Partnership is the Government of Viet Nam’s counterpart to the PCG 10. The PCG 10 is expected to maintain close coordination with their Government counterparts, the National Cluster Leads.
On the 5th ASEAN Regional Forum on Disaster Relief, (Dec 2005) the Vietnamese delegate stressed on the necessity inter-agency coordination, especially between the military and civilian agencies.
Illustrating the government response measures and capacities in providing humanitarian assistance, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) reports on the operations (IFRC DREF Final operations report, 8 July 2009) following the Typhoon Hagupit:
“Following the weakening of Typhoon Hagupit from a full-fledged typhoon into a tropical depression, heavy rains caused flash floods and landslides in 11 northern provinces of Viet Nam on 26-28 September 2008. Of these, the provinces of Bac Giang, Lang Son, Quang Ninh and Son La suffered the worst results. Flooding was severe in many areas, particularly in the Bac Giang province where up to 62 communes and towns in three districts were submerged. In Quang Ninh province, as many as 70 communes in six districts were under deep water... (…).
Response from the central government in the wake of the disaster was mainly through the mobilization of army troops to evacuate affected people to safer and higher places such as cement buildings. After the immediate emergency, the government also worked through the health sector to provide Chloramine B to purify water, or support in cash of VND 2 million (USD 115) per family who lost family members in the disaster.
Local governments in their respective provinces immediately reacted during the emergency by providing instant noodles and water to those affected. Later assistance was mainly from local donors such as entrepreneurs, religious groups or organizations in the form of cash, instant noodles, rice or cloth, but in limited quantities.”

2 Viet Nam Logistics Infrastructure
The following sections contain information on the logistics infrastructure of Viet Nam.
2.1 Viet Nam Port Assessment
Viet Nam Port Assessment
Vietnam has a 3,200km long coastline with a total of 114 seaports, 14 of which are relatively large and named as the keys to economic development.
However, most ports are relatively small with obsolete facilities and poor supporting services.
The three largest ports of Vietnam are Saigon Port (south), Hai Phong Port (north), and Da Nang Port (central)
Compare them to some major seaports of Thailand and Malaysia (see graph 1 below). When juxtaposed with them, the three main ports of Vietnam seem diminutive in terms of maximum vessel size allowed and storage capacity in despite the roughly similar size of berth lengths (the figures are for container terminals only; for Thailand, it is 1.2m DWT for maximum vessel size and 4m TEUs storage capacity).
2.1.1 Viet Nam Port of Hai Phong
Key port information can also be found at: Website of the Maritime Database on the Port of Haiphong
Port Overview
The Port of Hai Phong has the highest cargo through-put among the ports in the north of Viet Nam.
The Port is equipped with modern facilities and safe operating practices to accommodate all international modes of transport and trade.
Estimated cargo through-put in the period 2001 – 2003 was 8.5 to 12 million tons per year.
The improvement project at Chua Ve Container Terminal makes the port the biggest and most modern container terminal in the north of Viet Nam with through-put capacity of 500,000 TEU’s per year.

Website of
Worldaerodata on Vietnam
The Civil Aviation Administration of Viet Nam (CAAV) handles civil aviation and is under direct authority of the government. There are 135 airports and airstrips for civil, military and police use in the country. The CAAV is responsible for 18 airports and air navigation services. The airports in the north, central and south handled 2.5 million, 1.2 million and 5.1 million in 2002, respectively. Air traffic grew sharply during the 1990s until the region was hit by subsequent economic crisis. In 2002, the Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat) and Ha Noi (Noi Bai) airports and reached a total of 8 million commercial passengers, of which 4.2 million were international and 3.8 domestic.
International airfares are proposed by the airlines and ratified by CAAV. There are two different domestic airfares: one is applicable to foreign citizens and overseas Vietnamese and other is for local Vietnamese. The maximum airfare to Vietnamese passengers on domestic flights between Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City is decided by CAAV and the Government Pricing Committee and approved by the Prime Minister. Two airlines, both members of Viet Nam Airlines Corporation, operate in the country. The dominant one is Viet Nam Airlines, which accounts for 37% of international traffic to and from Viet Nam and 94% of the domestic demand. The other operator is Pacific Airlines which operates mainly between Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City. It was established in 1995 and is jointly owned by the Viet Nam Airlines Corporation and several other companies.
2.2.1 Viet Nam Hanoi - Noi Bai International Airport
The airport was originally built for the Vietnamese Air Force use.
After reunification of Viet Nam in 1975 the Ha Noi Noi Bai Airport became an international public airport while continuing to serve for military purposes. Noi Bai International Airport is the largest airport in northern Viet Nam, serves the capital city Ha Noi. Ha Noi Airport is operated by Northern Airport Authority (NAA) and is located 45 kms north of Ha Noi. Travel time by taxi takes between 30 to 45 minutes. Terminal 1 is currently the only passenger terminal in Noi Bai Airport, but there are plans to construct another passenger terminal.

on Hanoi - Noi Ba International Airport
2.2.2 Viet Nam Ho Chi Minh City International Airport
Tan Son Nhat Airport was first constructed in the 1930s by the French Colonial government as small unpaved airport.
By the mid 1950’s USA built a 7,200-foot (2,190 m) runway and terminal facilities to become South Viet Nam's international airport.
During the Viet Nam War, Tan Son Nhut Air Base was used by both the United States and the South Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF).
Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat International Airport, a joint civilian and military airport, is located 4 miles (6 km) north of the center of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
It operates from two terminal buildings, a Domestic Terminal 1 and International Terminal 2.
The new international terminal opened in September 2007 with the capacity of 10 million passengers per year, giving the airport a total capacity of 15 – 17 million passengers per annum.

2.3 Viet Nam Road Network
Viet Nam Road Network
Highways
84% of Viet Nam’s national roads are currently paved up from 61%
in 1997. The current percentage of paved national roads is
reasonable by regional standards. In 2002 the condition of the
network in good condition was 45% percent and good and average
66%
The improvement in the quality of the network appears to be largely
driven by new construction rather than by the maintenance of the
existing capital stock because expenditure on periodic and routine
maintenance of national roads between 1998 and 2002 were less than
half the of the maintenance needs as estimated by the Viet Nam
Road's Administration in its 10 Strategic Maintenance Plan.
Local Roads
About one quarter of the 83,000 km rural road network is believed to be in good or fair condition and 58% of the provincial roads providing connectivity to the main network are in poor condition. The administration of the road sector is complex with different agencies responsible for the financing and implementation and others for investment and maintenance.
For national roads, investment finance is approved by the Ministry of Planning and Investment, implementation is the responsibility of the Project Management Units of the Ministry of Transport, and maintenance is undertaken by the Viet Nam Roads Administration with funds channeled through the Ministry of Finance.
Road traffic is mainly concentrated on national roads and around the major urban centers. Even though vehicle ownership is rising very quickly, car ownership is still low and road traffic is dominated by motorcycles. Rising levels of motorization is a major challenge to transport planners and policy-makers, especially in large urban areas and primary intercity roads. Traffic accidents increased dramatically from 1999 to 2002, but have shown a decrease from 2002 to 2003 (See figure 1 below)

2.4 Viet Nam Railway Assessment
Viet Nam Railway Assessment
The network consists of 7 lines with a total length of 2,600 km.
All lines are single track, mostly meter gauge, with a few standard gauge and double gauge towards the Chinese border.
There are over 1,800 bridges (57,044 m) and 39 tunnels (11,513 m) and 281 stations.
The network connects residential area to cultural, agricultural and industrial center, except the Mekong river delta area.
The railways is linked to China railways according to 2
directions:
o From Lao Cai province to Van Nam province
o From Lang Son province to Quang Tay province
When the network is more developed, the railway could possibly be linked to the Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia railways network via the Singapore and Laos railways
The Viet Nam railway uses 3 kinds of gauge, namely 1,000 mm gauge, 1,435 mm-gauge (standard gauge) as well as 1,435 mm and 1,000 mm-gauge (mixed gauge). The length of the railway network and gauge are represented in the table next page:
The railways uses twin-block concrete sleeper, wooden sleeper and iron sleeper. 43 kg/m rail type and hard rail fasteners are used in most of the rail network. Some kinds of elastic fasteners are currently used in some divisions.

Railway Companies and Consortia
The Viet Nam Railway Cooperation (VRC) is the sole supplier of rail services in Viet Nam.
Following corporatization, VRC’s internal business has been restructured into four main business groups:
- 2 passenger train operating entities (North and South)
- A freight train operating company
- A grouping of regional infrastructure administrations
The train operating entities are quasi-independent management and accounting entities.
The Viet Nam Railway Administration remains responsible for planning development of the sector, for new construction and for securing resources for maintenance.
The VRC pays 10% of its gross revenues as a track access charge.
These funds are generally used toward infrastructure maintenance.
The network is small, old and has received little investment for upgrading, the VRC has performed well.
Viet Nam does not have concentrated flows of bulk raw materials or long-distances which give rise to heavy rail freight flows, its 8 lines serve high density passenger corridors.
Traffic density is about 2.3 million traffic units per route km per annum, which is relatively low compared to other countries in the region.
The average passenger train load in Viet Nam is around 370 passengers which is relatively high, but average freight load of 225 tons is low, as a result of low axle-weight infrastructure, short crossing loops and possible sub-optimal freight operating plans.
2.5 Viet Nam Waterways Assessment
Viet Nam Waterways Assessment
Mekong Waterways
Viet Nam has 41,000 km of natural waterways, of which 8,000 km are
used commercially.
Of these, the Viet Nam Inland Waterways Administration manages
about 6,000 km as well as the main river ports; local governments
manage the balance of the commercial waterways. River boats and
barges have rapidly developed. In 1999, there were 63,600 units
with a capacity of 1.7 million dead weight tons (DWT) and 197,000
passenger seats.
In 2003 this had increased to 83,000 boats with a capacity of 3.7
million DWT and 280,000 passenger seats. In addition there are tens
of thousands of small “country” boats and ferry boats. Despite
limited investment, the waterways remain attractive for the
transport of coal, rice, sand, stone, gravel, and other usually
high weight low value goods; and livelihoods and personal transport
depend heavily and successfully on waterway transport in the delta
regions of the Mekong and Red River.
The inland waterway system is managed by nine state waterway
management companies; and river ports are managed by three port
authorities. Inland waterway transport services are provided by
state-owned enterprises operating under two state corporations
attached to the Ministry of Transport Northern Waterway Transport
Corporation and Southern Waterway Transport Corporation;
specialized state-owned transport companies under other ministries
carrying materials to cement plants, paper mills and construction
material enterprises, and private for-hire operators.
Private operators have expanded their market share significantly in
recent years. Foreign companies can provide transport services on
the waterways through joint ventures in which the foreigner’s share
does not exceed 49%.
Freight and passenger transport rates are freely determined by
negotiation.

2.6 Viet Nam Milling Assessment
Viet Nam Milling Assessment
For decades Viet Nam struggled to feed itself but is now the
second-largest exporter of rice after Thailand. In 2007, Viet Nam
sold 4.5 million tons to foreign buyers, but the government's
decision to reduce rice exports by 22% caused countries, such as
the Philippines, to urgently secure supplies.
Viet Nam may has a rice surplus, but inflation, an unusually long
winter, pests and diminishing land for rice cultivation, as well as
increasingly frequent and damaging typhoons, are raising concerns
within the government. Improvements in production such as new rice
varieties, better fertilizers, new farm machinery and a reduction
of post-harvest losses have resulted in increased production
Natural Disasters and Adverse Weather
Viet Nam is located in an area where there are frequent typhoons, and sometimes drought, either of which can result in severe crop damage. Fortunately, those areas which suffer most from typhoons are of minor importance in terms of rice production (i.e. the central region, and part of the northern plain). Some areas in the northern plain also suffer from fog, but the damage from this is negligible if properly managed.

3.1 Viet Nam Fuel
Viet Nam Fuel
Viet Nam’s oil sector is dominated by state-owned Viet Nam Oil &
Gas Corporation (PetroVeitnam). PetroVeitnam is under the control
of the Ministry of Industry, although in practice the national oil
company (NOC) is also directed by the Politburo and other central
government planning agencies. All oil production in the country is
carried out by PetroVeitnam itself, or through production sharing
contracts (PSCs) or joint-ventures in which the national oil
company has an equity stake.
The largest oil producing company in Viet Nam is Vietsovpetro
(VSP), which is a joint-venture between PetroViet Nam and
Zarubezhneft of Russia. PetroViet Nam also has formed partnerships
with other international oil companies (IOCs) and NOCs, including
BP, ConocoPhillips, Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC),
Malaysia’s Petronas, Nippon Oil of Japan, and Talisman. PetroViet
Nam also controls Viet Nam’s downstream oil sector through various
subsidiaries, such as Petechim and PetroViet Nam Oil Processing and
Distribution Company.
The Vietnamese government began to privatize the national oil company’s non-oil-related business units in 2006, although it is expected that hydrocarbon activities will remain under state control.

Taxi Companies
Taxi Companies in Ha Noi
A taxi trip in Ha Noi will normally cost 10,000 to 20,000 Vietnamese dongs. However, the main problem is that taxi drivers may take advantage of tourists by using a tampered taxi meter or taking a longer route etc. One way is to negotiate a suitable price before taking the taxi. The recommendation is to only use the reputable and reliable taxi companies
Taxi Companies in Ho Chi Minh City
Major taxi companies are fairly honest, but to avoid any troubles a ‘taxi coupon’ can be purchased at the at the international airport terminal, at one of the counters after the custom declaration & x-ray, next to the exchange counter. Beware of rigged meters that increase the fare too fast. The flag down rate is 12,000 VND ($0.73) for first 2 km and an additional 8,000 VND every km thereafter. Taxis drivers do not expect tips or issue receipts

Electricity and Power
In 2004, Viet Nam had 9.0 gigawatts (GW) of installed electric
generating capacity. Viet Nam generated 40.1 billion kilowatthours
(Bkwh) of total electricity, of which 52% was supplied by
conventional thermal sources and 48% came from hydroelectric
sources.
Electricity demand has increased steadily in Viet Nam during the
last decade, but the country’s per capita energy consumption
remains one of the lowest in Asia. Viet Nam imports small amounts
of electricity from China in the north to avoid shortages, and the
country has plans to import electricity from Laos beginning in
2008

3.4 Viet Nam Telecommunications
Viet Nam Telecommunications
Viet Nam initially fell well short of the ambitious targets it
set for the wider expansion of its telecommunications
infrastructure. However, after reviewing its approach and
introducing some competition into the market, it has started to
build fresh growth momentum. The mobile telephone market has been
especially dynamic.
Annual revenues for the telecoms sector were expected to rise to up
to US$3.5 billion by 2010.
Viet Nam has launched Vinasat-1, the country’s first satellite,
placing it in orbit in April 2008.
In addition to reviewing telecom infrastructure, this report also
looks at the major telecom operators.

3.5 Viet Nam Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets
Viet Nam Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets
Main Food Suppliers
In the last 10 years, achievements in agricultural production
have met the country’s domestic needs for food and additional food
products for export. Viet Nam became the second largest exporter of
rice and coffee and ranked fourth worldwide in cashew exports. The
long-term objective of the agricultural sector is to build a
diversified commercial base by maximizing comparative advantages,
applying new technologies, and improving competitiveness in
domestic and international markets.
Therefore, in the coming years, instead of increasing the
exploitation of natural resources and expansion of the production
scale, the objective will be better quality and increased
competitiveness. Although food processing technology and
biotechnology are considered necessary for this purpose, the
research, development, and application of these technologies are
just at the starting point.
The development of new agricultural technologies for value-added
food production is critical in Viet Nam. Over the past decade,
government policies in Viet Nam have encouraged farmers to invest
in agricultural production, especially food production, to meet
domestic demand and for export. These policies have been so
successful that Viet Nam no longer has a food shortage, and instead
has a rice surplus for export. In 1989, Viet Nam was able to export
1.4 million mt of rice. By 1992, this had risen to 1.9 mt, plus
100,000 mt of corn and cassava. Important food crops in Viet Nam
include rice, corn, sweet potato, cassava and several kinds of
bean.
Rice Suppliers
There are hundreds of rice suppliers that can be found in the yellow pages and commercial directories. In 2009, the rice export quantity reached 6 million tons. Viet Nam is the second largest rice exporter worldwide. The production standards are set by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Suppliers of other commodities
The non food items market in Viet Nam is fully provided. There are no shortages nor scarcity of good as the market is developing on the open market model. The availability and the reliability of the goods is comparable to those that can be found on the western market.
Accommodation
Plentiful in Viet Nam: the country has a very developed tourist industry that offers all range and types of accommodation across the whole country.
