 This is the direction of the Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai in Document No. 3761/VPCP-KTN has been issued. Deputy Prime Minister also asked the Ministry of Transport should take measures to implement good development plan shipping to Vietnam in 2020 and orientations to 2030 1601/QD-TTg Decision issued on 15/10 / 2009 of the Prime Minister.
Around the foreign shipping company with ridiculous surcharges apply the export of Vietnam, Vice Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai agreed with the recommendations of the Ministry of Transport in Document No. 2730 / BGTVT-VT.
Accordingly, the State will adopt policies to encourage and support the development of the domestic fleet, container fleet development, large vessels, on international routes far to quickly occupy the market share of transport, reduce dependency on freight carriers abroad; upgrade research infrastructure of seaports, transport infrastructure connecting ports, shipping companies avoid taking advantage of weak infrastructure to collect additional charge.Shipping Corporation of Vietnam will coordinate with agencies and units concerned to urgently formulate human resources development, container vessels to the Prime Minister for consideration and decision; Communications Chamber of Commerce Vietnam Industry Association of Owners of lead and coordinate with other agencies and units concerned to conduct price negotiation with the owners to move toward a market charges and other surcharges on sea transport transparency, thereby raising a reasonable competitiveness of export and import goods in the international arena Vietnam; Communication Association to act as owner of synthesizing information, monitoring changes, implementation agreements, proposals, recommendations to the State management bodies related to transport, sea freight surcharges in the economic relationship between shippers and ship owners; The Ministry of Finance to formulate mechanisms and policies to revision of regulations on prices and construction costs or additional legal documents to manage the market, costs sea; The Ministry of Trade and Industry for consideration and assessment of competition issues for surcharge acts of foreign carriers to operate cargo import and export in Vietnam.It is known that, over time, the foreign shipping company has collected fees but not reported or reported in the short time, causing many difficulties for shippers. Specifically, the container service charge THC (the fee paid to the yards for raw container), present, Vietnam agreed to collect these fees and the owners have accepted the payment. This fee is collected by the port but in fact the owners are now collected directly from owners and filed with the port. The revenue of the port is 20 USD / container 20 ', 35 USD / container 40' but the owners obtained 60 - 70 USD / container 20 'and 100 to 120 USD / container 40'. Charge imbalance in container (CIC or CIS) to appear in Vietnam from about May 3 / 2010, by this time in Vietnam, a larger amount of imports of goods to the shipping company to transport the shell to balance shipping container and collect an additional fee to partially offset the cost of transporting empty containers. The level and time of collection firms are not the same. Current average is 50 USD / container 20 'and 100 USD / container 40'. Particularly as congestion charge (PCS) obtained only in time of occurrence of congestion at the port where the ship lasts no time to do every or obstruction not release goods warehouse extends up to the ship waiting time. In addition to the above charges, the carrier also collects additional fees such as cleaning fees containers, container repair, commission, fee receipts, storage fees, tolls ... Worth mentioning more, the fees are not agreed on the carrier collection time, the price, why and when to stop collecting revenue should not receive the consent of the owner. According to the Ministry of Transport, other surcharges collected by the shipping company is actually a transportation charge and the surcharge is usually agreed upon in the contract between the carrier and the charterer. However, because our customers usually buy CIF form , sold FOB (port to buy and sell at the port of departure) should not be entitled to actively hire vehicles. This big disadvantage for Vietnam because shippers lower shipping rates to win customers outside of Vietnam and the hole is offset from the owners of Vietnam. As a result, owners have lost Vietnam once on foreign contracts (for export) in price, the loss of transport and also suffered a second time after suffering instead of the charterer of the surcharge is not reasonable. Furthermore, owners Vietnam is often single, negotiating ability is not good and not to link together to put pressure on foreign carriers should generally accept all requests by agents and owners.
According to Transport.
