Dubai-based marine terminal operator DP World has announced October 1 as the date of the official inauguration of its Vietnam’s Saigon Premier Container Terminal (SPCT), located on the Soai Rap River, 15 km from Ho Chi Minh City, according to Middle East Transport and Logistics.   While Ho Chi Minh City is currently served by various port facilities along the Dong Nai and Saigon rivers, several terminals on the Saigon River are slated for progressive closure over the next several years.   Close to Ho Chi Minh City’s industrial hinterland, SPCT will handle cargo that currently moves through these ports, while attracting new volumes, the company said.   Cargo News Asia
