Vietnam is entering an important phase of urbanization that corresponds to the current economic development. Developing logistics of Vietnam in general, and Haiphong particularly, is urgent in order to meet the need for the economic development of Viet Nam in this period of international integration. Hai Phong’s development record over the past 20 years is remarkable. In conjunction with the local government’s efforts, external factors, such as increasing direct foreign investment, is turning Hai Phong into Vietnam’s logistics hub. However, even though Hai Phong accounted for 98% of North Vietnam’s throughput, its logistics services are low level, the ports are fragmented, and the port management scale is backward, with the legal system overlapping. This paper has systematically evaluated the development of Haiphong city during recent years, then offers some solutions to develop logistics for Hai Phong ports.
