Port Infrastructure Elevates Tân Phước as Emerging Logistics Hub
Tân Phước Ward in Ho Chi Minh City is leveraging its strategic port access and transport network to position itself as an up-and-coming logistics and industrial center. With deep-water port clusters along the Thị Vải River, excellent connectivity, and strong industrial base, Tân Phước is opening a new chapter in southern Vietnam’s supply chain development.
Tân Phước is adjacent to the Cái Mép – Thị Vải port complex, one of Vietnam’s most modern deep-water port clusters, capable of receiving 230,000 DWT container ships. That allows ships to sail directly to the U.S., Europe, and Africa without transshipment, reducing both cost and transit time.
Over the past years, Cái Mép – Thị Vải has developed dozens of international shipping routes, establishing Vietnam as a stronger node in global maritime logistics.
The Ward is well connected via National Route 51, the Biên Hòa – Vũng Tàu Expressway, the Cái Mép – Thị Vải interport road, Ring Road 4, and Phước An Bridge. These highways tie Tân Phước seamlessly into regional supply chains.
It lies only ~40 km from Long Thành International Airport, allowing for efficient multimodal logistics combining sea and air transport.
Domestic industrial zones such as Phú Mỹ 2 & 3 and Cái Mép are in the vicinity, enhancing cluster synergies.
The proximity of industrial zones and port infrastructure enables businesses to integrate manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and international trade within the same geographic area.
Logistics firms, supporting services, and commercial activities are expected to grow rapidly, boosting local revenue and employment.
Plans for a smart city & operations center (IOC) are underway, aiming to digitalize urban management and support modern logistics.
The local government intends for Tân Phước to become a marine economy zone and international transshipment hub, integral to Ho Chi Minh City’s long-term logistics strategy through 2045.
An expected Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in Cái Mép Hạ is under study, projecting to stimulate further trade, investment, and competitiveness.
Gateway to the Global Market: The capacity to handle large container vessels without transshipment gives Tân Phước a competitive edge in export logistics.
Regional Growth Engine: It strengthens the southern logistics corridor and alleviates pressure from overloaded port zones in Ho Chi Minh City.
Attractive for Investors: With already strong industrial base and planned FTZ, Tân Phước offers favorable conditions for manufacturers, warehousing, and logistics operators.
Modern Infrastructure: The blend of port, road, and smart operations infrastructure provides a foundation for sustainable development.
To capture its potential, Tân Phước must continue investing in supporting infrastructure—port terminals, inland logistics, cold storage, digital systems.
Regulatory frameworks, streamlined procedures, and coordinated urban planning will be essential to avoid bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
Environmental management and sustainable growth strategies must guide expansion, given marine and urban ecosystems nearby.
