I-3-24 Vietnam National Transport Strategy Study (VITRANSS) Technical Report No. 8 Shipping and Ports 55 days from the operation of their 20 vessels. This is mainly due to the waiting time for high tide and their turn for cargo operation. The VICT in Saigon, which offers a more efficient container operation, is regularly serving four feeder service companies only, all of which are its investment partners. Given the legal restrictions to container haulage operation in the urban area, other shipping lines do not utilize this more efficient port for cargo operation despite its proximity to the Saigon city zone. Management Efficiency One state-owned shipping company, the FALCON, specializes in the transport of liquid cargoes such as crude oil and other oil products. In 1998, this company has acquired a large oil tanker built in 1986 with a capacity of 60,600 DWT, aiming to transport 60,000 tons of crude oil from Vietnam to Japan. However, due to a depression in the market price of crude oil, the Japanese contractor insisted on an increase in capacity to 80,000 tons. FALCON lost its original consignment and had to seek for another contract. Specialized cargo vessels, such as oil tankers and bulk carriers, are used to carry out serve a long-term contract between cargo supplier/shipper and trader/buyer. Generally in this case, basic trade terms, such as freight on board (FOB) term and a nomination right to shipping line, are fully handled by the trader/buyer. Since there are only occasional offers for chartering vessels to transport specific consignments, it would be cost-effective to first conduct a study on the feasibility of investing on this operation prior to the acquisition of vessels. It may be more appropriate to charter vessels given the present unstable conditions in the market. Financial Viability Investments in shipping fleet expansion by state-owned companies under VINALINES are shouldered by each company without government subsidy. Shipping companies usually apply for bank loans from the Investment Development Bank. Although VINALINES is authorized to administer the finances of its subsidiary companies, financial arrangements are generally attended to by each individual company, except in cases of large acquisition such as the case of FALCON. VINAMARINE, on the other hand, has its own investments for expansion, thus, it cannot anymore extend assistance to its subsidiaries.
3.4 Safety Enhancement and Environmental Protection Maritime Accidents I-3-25 Vietnam National Transport Strategy Study (VITRANSS) Technical Report No. 8 Shipping and Ports A total of 615 accidents have been recorded during the nine-year period between 1987 and 1995.Of the total, 25% were due to collision, 17% to engine trouble, 9% to capsizing, etc. and 17% involved loss of lives and injuries. Operational errors and technical deficiencies are the main causes of accidents. The number of recorded accidents has been increasing year by year, especially between 1993 and 1995. Considering that many accidents occur during stormy weather and within 12 mile of the coast, consideration should be given to the establishment of improved vessel traffic systems and regulations, weather forecasting services and effective communication systems, especially in heavily trafficked areas. Substandard Vietnamese Vessels During the period 1996-1998, 59 Vietnamese flag vessels were detained at various foreign ports as a result of strict port state control. Through the recently published detention information, the required standardization for ship management and operation in Vietnam can be discerned. For example, a three-year detention percentage for Vietnamese flag vessels between 1996 and 1998 was recorded at 35.12%. It was the highest rate among the flags while the average detention rate was 6.49%. Thus, it is recommended that Vietnamese flag fleet should improve its equipment and maintenance condition, management tactics and crew competence, in accordance with the requirements provided for in international maritime conventions.
