10. Recommendations to improve CFS warehouse operation at Vietnam Container Shipping Joint Stock Company - Green Port INTRODUCTION Thanks to the helpful location, Vietnam has a long sea border line. Under the globalization, Vietnam maritime industry has been developed rapidly. According to the data of Vietnam Marine Administration (Vinamarine) in 2014, Vietnam has 44 seaports with the cargo throughput of 370.3 million tons in 2014. The cargo volume has grown by 8.1 percent from 2009 to 2014 of 8.1 percent. In which the container volume increased by 16.7 percent to achieve 10.2 million TEUs in 2014. The container throughput is estimated to increase with the rate of 8 to 9 percent annually until 2020. With the development of the national economy, Vietnam ports in general and Northern ports in particular are expected to have many potentials to develop shipping industry. One of the important ports contributing to the growth of this industry is Green Port. Green Port is the subsidiary of Vietnam Container Shipping Cooperation (Viconship). Green Port is operated from Sept. 2004, mainly exploit containerized cargo. Green Port provides a variety of services, from ocean shipping services to inland transport. One of such is CFS services that I researched in this paper. Necessity CFS is customs area for loading and unloading containerized cargo. CFS plays an essential part in the flow of exporting and importing goods. In the growing trend of containerized service, CFS is estimated to be an important factor in the development of maritime industry in the next years. So, in two months of internship, with a wish to study the CFS operation activities, I have chosen this topic: "Recommendations to improve CFS operation at Green Port". This research will give an insight to the CFS activities at Green Port. And from that, give proper solutions to increase the development of company. Research Object This study is conducted to study the CFS warehouse operation at Green Port and from that evaluate the situation as well as find the possible ways to improve the operation in the CFS at Green Port.
