Nhat also said average monthly, about 500,000- 600,000 tonnes of goods were transported among Quảng Ninh, Hai Phong, Thai Binh, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh,Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh và Quang Binh provinces. For distance from Quang Ninh to Quang Binh, sea transportation would take three times longer than the road transportation did but freight charges by sea were just one- fifth or one-sixth of the charges by road.
