“Bầu Hiển’s Mega Logistics Hub Set to Feature Region’s Largest Integrated Air Cargo Warehouse”

As part of the FWC 2025, Vietnam SuperPort™’s exhibition booth had the honor of welcoming FIATA President Turgut Erkeskin, along with representatives from leading global associations and businesses. Here, Dr. Yap Kwong Weng, CEO of Vietnam SuperPort™ introduced the Off-Airport Cargo Terminal (OACT) operation plan, a strategic link in the multimodal supply chain set to launch soon.

The Largest Integrated Off-Airport Cargo Terminal in the Region

Strategically located on the Northern Economic Corridor, OACT connects over 20 industrial zones with major seaports and airports such as Noi Bai, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, and extends to Yunnan and Kunming (China). This not only facilitates the flow of goods between Vietnam and the China-ASEAN region but also directly links with international airlines and key markets like the US, Europe, and Asia.

Notably, OACT is one of the first off-airport cargo terminals in Vietnam to fully integrate functions as an “off-airport cargo station,” including customs clearance, security screening, storage, ULD handling, and transportation to the airport.

Here, goods are processed under strict security protocols monitored by a 24/7 CCTV system, aviation security, and customs from receipt to loading onto aircraft.

With a total area of over 11,000 m² and a cargo handling capacity of approximately 50,000 tons/year, OACT is built and equipped with modern infrastructure to international standards. It can handle large volumes of goods from businesses and carriers in demanding markets like the US and Europe.

According to Dr. Yap Kwong Weng, OACT is a crucial component of the Vietnam SuperPort™ Multimodal Logistics Center, developed under the “Park within a Park” model. This integrates all transportation modes—rail, road, sea, and air—into a single hub. Businesses can flexibly switch transport modes to optimize time and costs.

Alongside connectivity and operational capabilities, Vietnam SuperPort™ is developing OACT into a modern, smart cargo station using advanced technologies like AI and robotics. In collaboration with Google and Kyndryl, Vietnam SuperPort™ is researching next-generation AI for security screening to detect prohibited and dangerous goods, and for automated document verification to enhance safety and security.

A Key to Regional Connectivity and Enhanced Adaptability

Long-term, OACT aims for full digitalization, creating an integrated logistics platform. Businesses can track, manage, and book services online—from customs declarations to electronic payments. This is a significant step toward building a fully digitalized air supply chain, connecting Vietnam to ASEAN’s smart logistics network and beyond.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Robert Yap, Executive Chairman of YCH Group, shared: “Vietnam SuperPort™ reflects the shared vision of YCH Group and T&T Group to create a smarter, greener, and more connected supply chain for the region. OACT is not just a logistics infrastructure but a catalyst for Vietnam’s role as a trade and innovation hub in ASEAN and globally.”

With the motto “Connect – Smart – Sustainable,” OACT serves as more than a cargo storage and processing facility. It is a strategic bridge enhancing integration, optimizing logistics costs, and expanding international trade opportunities for Vietnamese businesses.

OACT offers significant competitive advantages for exporters, importers, and the entire air logistics chain. It enhances service quality, reduces congestion at airport cargo terminals, and improves operational flow, benefiting airlines and cargo routes.

“OACT is more than an off-airport cargo terminal; it symbolizes Vietnam’s vision for smart and sustainable connectivity. We aim to build a next-generation logistics hub where technology, infrastructure, and people drive global trade forward,” emphasized the CEO of Vietnam SuperPort™.

Previously, at the Vietnam International Innovation Expo 2025 (VIIE 2025), Vietnam SuperPort™ impressed attendees with cutting-edge solutions to enhance logistics efficiency, positioning Vietnam as a strategic link in the global supply chain.

Vietnam SuperPort™ is an 83-hectare multimodal logistics port with a total investment of $300 million, located in Phu Tho Province. It is a strategic joint venture between YCH Group, Singapore’s leading supply chain solutions provider with nearly 70 years of industry leadership, and T&T Group, one of Vietnam’s top private conglomerates.
