Port Overview · UN/LOCODE VNTAM
Tanamexco ICD, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Tanamexco ICD is recorded as an inland container depot in Ho Chi Minh City rather than a coastal vessel port. Its logistics role is to support container positioning, cargo handover, customs-related processes and road drayage between the Ho Chi Minh City cargo market and the maritime gateway selected for the shipment. The supplied port master data identifies the facility as VNTAM, located in Vietnam’s Southeast region, with Ho Chi Minh City as the associated city. The same record shows three FCL-related service entries and no LCL or automotive entries; these figures are directory attributes, not a statement of yard capacity or guaranteed service availability. Our service team can coordinate the ICD–seaport connection after confirming the carrier, terminal, container type, cargo status and actual receiving instructions.

Decision points for forwarders
Key Highlights
Inland container function
VNTAM should be planned as an inland handling point, with the ocean vessel call and final maritime terminal confirmed separately.
Ho Chi Minh City gateway
The facility is associated with the commercial and manufacturing hinterland of Ho Chi Minh City and the wider Southeast Vietnam region.
FCL-oriented profile
The supplied directory record contains FCL service entries but no LCL entry. Consolidation availability must therefore be checked before quoting groupage cargo.
Road-link dependency
Container movements between the ICD, factory, warehouse and seaport depend on truck appointment rules, traffic conditions and terminal receiving windows.
Confirmation is essential
Cut-off, empty-container release, laden return, customs status and accepted container types should be confirmed for each booking.
Operational scope
Facilities & Services
- Container yard interface: An ICD normally provides a controlled location for container receipt, temporary positioning, release and dispatch. Actual yard capacity, equipment and operating hours must be confirmed with the facility or nominated operator.
- FCL handling: The supplied record identifies FCL-related entries. Our team can arrange container movement and status tracking subject to the shipping line’s equipment release and depot instructions.
- Customs-related handling: Inland customs or cargo-control procedures may apply depending on the declaration, transit arrangement and cargo status. The exact authority, inspection location and process must be verified before dispatch.
- Road drayage: The practical connection to factories, warehouses and the export seaport is normally by truck. Vehicle availability, axle restrictions, urban traffic and gate appointments can affect execution.
- Storage and ancillary services: Storage, reefer plugging, weighing, repair, washing, inspection and empty-container services are not assumed from the port code and require item-by-item confirmation.
Connection planning
Routes & Logistics Timing
Export flow
Typical planning links the shipper or factory to VNTAM, then connects the laden container to the ocean terminal and the booked vessel. The actual seaport and carrier routing depend on the booking.
Import flow
Import containers may move from the nominated maritime terminal to the ICD or onward to the consignee, subject to delivery order, customs release, equipment availability and the carrier’s inland instructions.
Regional trade directions
Ho Chi Minh City commonly serves Vietnam–Asia supply chains and wider import/export networks. Direct service, transshipment, carrier coverage and port rotation must not be presumed for VNTAM itself.
Timing variables
Execution time is influenced by vessel cut-off, terminal receiving status, truck appointment availability, traffic, customs inspection, documentation corrections, public holidays and weather.
Cargo-market context
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary service area: Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding Southeast Vietnam production and distribution corridor, with the precise trucking radius determined by the shipper, consignee and selected maritime terminal.
- Manufacturing supply chains: The area supports containerized movements associated with electronics, machinery, furniture, textiles, footwear, consumer goods and industrial inputs; the cargo classification must be checked from commercial documents rather than inferred from the port code.
- Typical FCL profile: Factory-loaded export containers, imported production materials, finished-goods distribution and project-related containerized equipment may use an ICD connection.
- Special cargo screening: Reefer, oversized, flexitank, tank container and dangerous-goods shipments require prior acceptance checks for equipment, route, handling, documentation and receiving capability.
Risk controls
Operations & Compliance
Cut-off and receiving
Obtain the carrier’s verified SI, VGM, cargo, gate and vessel cut-offs. ICD receiving deadlines may differ from the ocean terminal deadline, and a late inland handover can miss the booked sailing.
Customs and inspection
Ensure the declaration, invoice, packing list, HS classification, permits and container details are consistent. If inspection is selected, additional handling and truck scheduling may be required.
Dangerous goods
Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, marine-pollutant status, emergency information and packing declaration where applicable. Obtain written acceptance before moving the container.
Inland transport controls
Check truck suitability, container weight, road restrictions, appointment requirements, empty-return location, seal control and driver access instructions. Heavy or exceptional loads require a separate feasibility review.
Actionable booking guidance
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the cargo origin, destination, container size/type, gross weight, commodity, HS code, Incoterm and target vessel before requesting an ICD–port quotation.
- Separate the planned ICD handover milestone from the maritime terminal cut-off. Build practical contingency time for truck appointment changes, document amendments, customs control and urban congestion.
- For dangerous goods, reefer or overweight cargo, provide technical details at the quotation stage and obtain acceptance from both the inland facility and the ocean carrier before stuffing or dispatch.
- Use a verified pre-dispatch checklist covering seal number, VGM, export declaration, shipping instructions, empty-container condition, gate reference and proof of handover.
Practical questions from shippers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is VNTAM a seaport with vessel berthing?
No. The supplied record identifies Tanamexco ICD as an inland container depot in Ho Chi Minh City. Vessel routing, ocean terminal and sailing details must be confirmed separately with the carrier.
Can our LCL shipment be booked through VNTAM?
The supplied directory data records zero LCL entries. We therefore do not assume an LCL service. Our team can check a suitable CFS or alternative consolidation point according to the cargo origin, destination and sailing plan.
Can the ICD deadline be treated as the vessel cut-off?
No. An ICD receiving deadline, terminal gate cut-off, documentation cut-off, VGM deadline and vessel cut-off can be different. We verify each milestone against the confirmed booking.
What information is needed for a reliable quotation?
Provide cargo description, HS code, package details, gross weight, container specification, pickup and delivery addresses, customs status, Incoterm, dangerous-goods or reefer requirements and the target shipment date.
What is the alternative if the ICD cannot accept the cargo?
Depending on the booking, cargo type and customs status, our service team can review direct delivery to the nominated ocean terminal, another approved depot or a CFS-based solution. Any change requires carrier and customs confirmation.
Data governance
Data Sources & Provenance
Primary record: The UN/LOCODE, facility name, country, city and directory service indicators on this page are taken from the supplied VNTAM port master data: Tanamexco ICD, Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, FCL 3, LCL 0 and automotive 0.
Regulatory verification: Vietnamese customs procedures and customs-related requirements should be checked against the official Vietnam Customs domain: customs.gov.vn.
Verification boundary: No berth, draft, throughput, yard capacity, opening hours, tariff, carrier, sailing frequency or guaranteed transit time is stated because those items are not contained in the supplied record and are subject to operational confirmation. Our service team verifies current carrier, depot, customs and trucking instructions before execution.
