Vietnamese shipping companies are losing in their own homeland as
domestic producers continue to choose foreign shippers for their imports
and exports.
Local exporters are facing additional pressure from rising marine
transport costs charged by foreign shipping firms, which has led to
Vietnamese exports becoming less competitive.
The Finance Ministry will inspect 20 foreign
shipping companies located in big ports, including HCM City, Hai Phong
and Ha Noi this month, Deputy Minister of Finance Vu Thi Mai said.
