One month after the epidemic spread rapidly in Vietnam, Vietnam’s Saigon Newport Corporation (Saigon Newport Corporation) was forced to suspend Cat Lai, the country’s largest port. (Port of Ho Chi Minh City) partial operations.
If the backlog of goods in its yard cannot be reduced, operations will be completely stopped. It is reported that the port’s container yard space has reached 100%, while the number of staff on duty has been reduced by half due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in July.
