Hanoi (VNA) – The Republic of Korea (RoK)'s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries on March 20 announced plans to build an integrated logistics centre in Nhon Trach 6 Industrial Park in the Vietnamese southern province of Dong Nai.

The facility will cover over 55,000 sq.m of land, with a total floor area of 26,168 sq.m. The project is being developed through a joint venture with Lotte Global Logistics in Vietnam, supported by the global logistics supply chain fund.

The logistics centre will feature two main zones: one for ambient storage and another for cold storage. It is expected to become operational by May 2026.

A ministry official noted that Nhon Trach Industrial Complex is home to numerous Korean shipping companies. Once completed, the logistics centre is expected to serve as a key hub for Korean import-export businesses in Vietnam.

The Nhon Trach Industrial Park in Dong Nai province is a major logistics hub in southern Vietnam, strategically located near key markets such as Ho Chi Minh City and Nha Trang. It also benefits from strong transport links, including Long Thanh International Airport and Cat Lai Port./.
