7) World Bank Transport Sector <strong>Report</strong>, January 1999<br />

Comments: Vietnam’s ports (except some in HCMC) have about five years’<br />

throughput capacity reserves without requiring major new investments. Hence,<br />

government should use this time to:<br />

• assess the likely impact of the Asian economic crisis on its projections of<br />

port traffic and its port investment program:<br />

• review the viability of its industrial and economic development and<br />

investment plans and estimate traffic types and volumes to be generated;<br />

• assess the potential for increasing the throughput capacity and productivity<br />

of existing major maritime ports (with” limited investment”) through port<br />

commercialization/corporatization; improved operational and management<br />

systems, including the introduction of a market-based regulatory and<br />

institutional framework to allow ports to be managed as commercial<br />

enterprises; and<br />

• identify intermodal transport facility requirements, including investments,<br />

timetables, cash flows, and alternate solutions, to handle the additional<br />

traffic created by the planned industrial and economic development.
