Viettel Post Joint Stock Corporation officially launched its Viettel Da Nang Logistics Centre at Liên Chiểu Industrial Park in Hải Vân Ward, Đà Nẵng City. 

Covering more than 8.6 hectares, the facility is designed to serve as a key logistics hub, connecting cargo flows from the central region and Central Highlands with domestic and international markets.

The centre features approximately 39,300 sq. m of warehouse space and supporting infrastructure.  

It integrates seven key functions covering the entire logistics chain, including warehousing, order fulfilment, cargo consolidation, multimodal transport coordination, import-export logistics and customs connectivity, value-added services, e-commerce logistics and digital operations management.

This integrated model allows businesses to access a comprehensive range of logistics services from a single provider, eliminating the need to invest independently in warehouses, personnel and operating systems. They can also monitor cargo movements through an interconnected data platform.

Operations at the centre are supported by automated sorting systems, autonomous guided vehicles and a digital management platform, reducing order processing time by 33 per cent compared with conventional methods.

The facility also uses solar power as part of its efforts to promote sustainable logistics operations.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Lieutenant General Tào Đức Thắng, chairman and general director of Viettel Group, cited the Party and State leaders' call for a shift from simply developing logistics services towards building national logistics capabilities, with the aim of positioning Việt Nam as a major logistics hub in the region and the world.

Thắng said the investment in logistics is not merely investment in infrastructure and services, but also in national competitiveness and long-term development.

"With this understanding, the swift completion and commissioning of the Viettel Da Nang Logistics Centre is a concrete step by Viettel towards implementing the Party and State's policies and strategic orientations. 

"The project will help strengthen regional connectivity, facilitate the flow of goods and create fresh momentum for the development of Đà Nẵng City, the central region and the country as a whole," he said.

According to Viettel Post, the addition of a major logistics hub in the central region will enable goods travelling along the north-south route to be sorted and transferred in Đà Nẵng, cutting transportation time by up to six hours.

Chairman of the Đà Nẵng People's Committee Nguyễn Mạnh Hùng, said the project would provide the city with an important additional asset in attracting investment and supporting production and commercial activities.

"With better access to logistics services, businesses can improve investment efficiency and ensure smoother supply chain operations, while the city's growth potential will also be expanded. This is the value the city expects the project to deliver," Hùng said.
