Damco opens distribution centre warehouse in Vietnam

DAMCO has opened a new 26,000-square-metre distribution centre in Binh Duong, 30 kilometres from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, to support growth in both its international and domestic volume.

The distribution centre will add to the company`s existing network in Vietnam that includes nine facilities nationwide. It is also well connected by road transport, enabling it to serve both Cat Lai and Cai Mep ports.


Plans are also underway to further link the facility to barge infrastructure as a supplement to truck transport, a company statement said.


"With this new facility, our customers will have greater flexibility in managing fluctuations in demand for warehousing," says Narin Phol, country manager for Vietnam and Cambodia. "The distribution centre will operate as an integrated logistics centre offering multipurpose warehousing, a humidity-controlled environment, access to inland container depots and barge connectivity."


He added, "It is also our vision to develop this facility into an international consolidation hub, linking the Indochina region through our cross-border solutions."
