Logistics for cross-border e-commerce: a new gateway for Vietnamese goods to go global

Cross-border e-commerce is not simply about listing Vietnamese products on international platforms. Behind every small order is a complex logistics chain: fulfilment, customs declaration, air or road transport, sorting, last-mile delivery, returns, tax, data and customer experience. If logistics cannot keep pace, the opportunity of digital exports will be limited at the order execution stage.

Who's Really Behind the Wheel? Closing the Driver-Identity Gap in Shared Fleets

Almost every commercial fleet today is fitted with GPS. A manager can see where a vehicle is, how fast it is moving, how long the engine idles and how much fuel it burns. Yet one basic question often goes unanswered: who was actually driving?

Reverse logistics: when returns, recycling and recalls become part of the value chain

Reverse logistics: when returns, recycling and recalls become part of the value chain

For many years, logistics was viewed mainly in the forward direction: goods moving from manufacturers to distributors, stores or consumers. But in the circular economy and e-commerce era, goods do not move in only one direction. Returns, defective items, packaging, used equipment, components, end-of-life products and recalled goods are creating an increasingly important reverse logistics flow.

Pharmaceutical logistics: the cold chain of trust and health

Pharmaceutical logistics: the cold chain of trust and health

Pharmaceuticals are not ordinary goods. A temperature deviation, a delayed delivery, a missing document, a non-compliant warehouse or a break in data can directly affect treatment efficacy and patient safety. As demand rises for biologics, vaccines, specialty medicines and cross-border healthcare commerce, pharmaceutical logistics is becoming a strategic segment of high-value logistics.

Logistics for semiconductor supply chains: when every hour of delay can break production flow

Logistics for semiconductor supply chains: when every hour of delay can break production flow

Semiconductors are not only about factories, clean rooms, design engineers or industrial policy. Behind every chip lies a supply chain highly sensitive to time, precision, security, data, environmental control and high-value logistics. If Vietnam wants to move deeper into the global semiconductor ecosystem, logistics must be treated as part of strategic competitiveness.

Logistics cho chuỗi cung ứng bán dẫn: khi mỗi giờ chậm có thể làm đứt mạch sản xuất

Bán dẫn không chỉ là câu chuyện của nhà máy, phòng sạch, kỹ sư thiết kế hay chính sách công nghiệp. Đằng sau mỗi con chip là một chuỗi cung ứng cực kỳ nhạy cảm về thời gian, độ chính xác, an ninh, dữ liệu, kiểm soát môi trường và logistics giá trị cao. Nếu Việt Nam muốn bước sâu hơn vào hệ sinh thái bán dẫn toàn cầu, logistics phải được xem là một phần của năng lực cạnh tranh chiến lược.

AI Agents in logistics: from task support to supply chain coordination

AI Agents in logistics: from task support to supply chain coordination

AI in logistics is entering a new phase. In the past, companies mainly used AI for data analysis, demand forecasting or route optimisation. Now, AI agents open the possibility of automatically performing a chain of tasks: reading data, comparing options, recommending actions, sending alerts, scheduling, updating systems and supporting operational coordination. The issue is not to let AI “replace” people, but to redesign how humans and machines make decisions together.

Digital twins in supply chains: when businesses need to “see the future” before deciding

Digital twins in supply chains: when businesses need to “see the future” before deciding

In a volatile logistics environment, companies can no longer rely only on past data and post-incident reactions. They need to simulate, test scenarios, anticipate bottlenecks and assess impacts before making decisions. Digital twins - digital replicas of supply chains - are opening a new approach to modern logistics management.

BSR Opens the Door to Commercial B5 Biodiesel

BSR’s first commercial shipment of B5 biodiesel from the Dung Quat Oil Refinery marks an important transition from research and trial blending to market deployment of a lower-carbon fuel. As Vietnam expands its biofuel ecosystem and energy-transition agenda, B5 adds a new product to BSR’s portfolio while creating room to decarbonize diesel transport and raise the value generated by the domestic refining chain.

Key economic region infrastructure: logistics cannot develop along administrative borders

Key economic region infrastructure: logistics cannot develop along administrative borders

Logistics does not operate according to provincial or municipal boundaries. Goods move along production flows, consumption flows, seaports, airports, border gates, industrial parks, expressways, railways, waterways and distribution centres. Therefore, logistics infrastructure for key economic regions must be developed through an interregional mindset, not through isolated local optimisation.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan’s inspection of the Dung Quat Biofuel Plant on August 3, 2026 underscored the strategic role of fuel-grade ethanol (E100) in Vietnam’s E10 roadmap. The challenge now extends beyond restarting a single plant: it requires a resilient, competitive supply chain linking feedstock, ethanol production, blending, logistics and nationwide distribution.

Dry ports and ICDs: the missing nodes in Vietnam’s multimodal logistics

Dry ports and ICDs: the missing nodes in Vietnam’s multimodal logistics

In a modern logistics system, seaports cannot carry all functions of cargo consolidation, clearance, storage, distribution and hinterland connectivity. Dry ports and inland container depots are the intermediate nodes that bring port services deeper inland, reduce pressure on seaports, optimise multimodal transport and strengthen supply chain competitiveness.

Scope 3 in transport: when partner emissions become business responsibility

Scope 3 in transport: when partner emissions become business responsibility

In ESG roadmaps, many companies initially focus on their own direct emissions: energy, fuel, factories and offices. But as customers and markets look across the full value chain, Scope 3 becomes the biggest challenge. For logistics, this means emissions from transport, warehousing and service providers are no longer outside corporate responsibility.

Logistics for SMEs: from necessary cost to competitive capability

Logistics for SMEs: from necessary cost to competitive capability

For many small and medium-sized enterprises, logistics is still seen as a cost to be paid: transport, delivery, warehousing, customs clearance, forwarding and packaging. But in the new competitive environment, logistics is not only a cost. If organised properly, it becomes a capability that helps SMEs expand markets, control cash flow, retain customers and participate more deeply in supply chains.

Security Standards Unlock Semiconductor Warehousing

Security Standards Unlock Semiconductor Warehousing

Vietnam's growing semiconductor investment wave is creating major opportunities for the logistics sector, yet this market is not determined by warehouse size or rental rates alone. For wafers, chips and high-value technology equipment, asset protection, security continuity and compliance with international standards such as C-TPAT and TAPA are increasingly the conditions that place a warehouse on the shortlist of global cargo owners.
