Specifically, the province focuses on investing in key transportation routes, upgrading inland waterway ports, railways, warehouse systems and yards to ensure the smooth, quick circulation of goods and logistics activities, thereby reducing costs for businesses.
Currently, with five inland waterway ports in operation and eleven ports planned and being under the stage of making procedures for investment, Binh Duong’s inland waterway port system is gradually upholding its role and advantages in reducing transportation costs and time for goods circulation. Notably, it helps alleviate pressure on the road transport system and enhances regional connectivity between Binh Duong and other localities in the region.
