The sea transport volume was estimated at about 5.2 tonnes, while 24 milliontonnes of goods were handled via sea ports.

The State-owned shipping giant Vinalines’sequitisation plan received approval from the Prime Minister on June 20, 2018,paving the way for the firm to attract strategic investors.
