As a dynamic member actively involved in association activities, the representative of the HCM branch's Board of Directors - Mr. Tran Anh Giang (Director of Glotrans HCM branch) took precious time to participate in an exchange with the association under the theme: "Shifting Supply Chains: Prospects and Challenges."
The representative from the Department of Industry and Trade of Ho Chi Minh City stated that the city was increasingly asserting its crucial position in the national logistics sector. With inherent advantages in international trade and transportation, the city had an ideal position to become the logistics hub of the Southern region and the whole country. The Department of Industry and Trade emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City was continually strengthening its position.
In the coming time, the Department of Industry and Trade, in collaboration with various departments, committees, sectors, and the business community, would implement directions and solutions for logistics development. This includes the effective deployment of mechanisms, policies, and logistics development solutions. The plan involves enhancing investment in logistics infrastructure, increasing loading and unloading capacity, and storage capacity at seaports, anticipating supply chain trends, and establishing a regional-scale logistics service center in Ho Chi Minh City.
This is an opportunity for Glotrans HCM to strengthen connections, learn, and grow in challenging circumstances, ensuring sustainable development for the future.
For many years, logistics was viewed primarily as a back-end support function. Today, amid increasing global trade volatility, logistics has become a strategic factor directly influencing business growth, risk management capability, and long-term competitiveness.
Amid ongoing global supply chain restructuring, Vietnam is emerging as a key manufacturing and sourcing hub in Asia. The “China+1” strategy and the need for risk diversification are driving multinational corporations to expand their presence in Vietnam.
Entering April 2026, escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have triggered a systemic disruption across global logistics networks. However, for Vietnamese import-export enterprises, the immediate risk is no longer confined to the Middle East. The critical pressure point has shifted to Asia’s transshipment hubs-most notably Singapore-where congestion is now constraining regional cargo flows at scale.
Glotrans would like to inform our valued Customers and Partners of our upcoming holiday schedule as follows:
April 23, 2026 marks the 5-year milestone of establishment and development of Glotrans – Quy Nhon Branch. Though the journey is not long, it is enough to affirm the resilience, dedication, and strong growth spirit of a young, dynamic, and promising team.
Glotrans has successfully completed a cross-border Door-to-Door transportation project, connecting China to Central Vietnam, involving a fleet of 9 trailer trucks, ensuring schedule compliance and safety throughout the entire journey.
The shipment of food additives was transported in container No. FCIU3301688 (20’), under B/L MPRSMUM1806, on the voyage from Nhavasheva Port (India) to Dinh Vu Port (Hai Phong, Vietnam) on 29/04/2017.
Company T (Plaintiff – the Insured) entered into an insurance contract with Company B (Defendant – the Insurer). After the insured event occurred, the Insurer alleged that the Insured had violated its obligation to prevent and mitigate losses. The Arbitral Tribunal acknowledged that such an obligation exists but concluded that the Insured did not breach it.
Under the insurance contract, the premium was to be paid in three installments, and in all three, the insured party was late in payment. When a dispute arose, the insurer (Defendant) argued that the insurance contract had terminated before the insured event occurred due to the late premium payment and therefore refused to make an insurance payout. However, the Arbitral Tribunal held a contrary view.
