Ocean freight shipping to Vietnam


An estimated 90.5 million inhabitants populate the Southeast Asian country of Vietnam. The Vietnamese economy is expected to become the world’s 21st-largest by 2025, with an estimated nominal GDP of $436 billion. Get access to this huge market by exploring ocean freight to Vietnam.


In 2014, Vietnam negotiated a free trade agreement with the European Union, adding Western Europe to its list of chief trading partners, along with the ASEAN countries, the United States, China and Japan, and Australia. The US is Vietnam’s leading export destination.


By 2025, Vietnam is expected to be the fastest-growing of the world’s emerging economies, with a potential growth rate in real dollars of almost 10 percent annually. Vietnam is already one of Asia’s most open economies. In 2006, two-way trade was valued at around 160 percent of GDP. Ocean freight to Vietnam is clearly a vital tool for any exporter.


FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to Vietnam


FCL (Full Container Load) shipping or LCL (groupage, or a Less than Container Load) are your options when sending cargo to Vietnam.


You’ll need to determine your shipping volume in order to make an informed decision here. Any shipment equal to at least half of a container is considered a full container load (FCL), keeping in mind that a 20-foot container can hold 10 standard pallets, while a 40-foot container ships 22 standard pallets.


FCL is also the best way to avoid any risk of damage to your goods that may be caused by contact with other exporters’ merchandise, and so may be a wise choice even for small shipments.


A shared container (LCL), also known as groupage, is a good and economical choice if sharing space with others isn’t a concern. Groupage requires you to pay only for your own space within a shipping container, and so is cost-effective. Contact iContainers for rates and other important information on shipping.
