The portsystem includes the Long Binh Tan terminal situated on the Dong NaiRiver and Go Dau A and Go Dau B terminals on the Thi Vai River.

The terminals are within the vicinity of major seaports in Ho Chi MinhCity and southern Ba Ria – Vung Tau province as well as centralizedindustrial parks, leading to the high demand for goods transport.
