DP World and VIMC Lines launch Mekong Express service in Southern Vietnam

DP World, in partnership with VIMC Lines, has launched the Mekong Express, a new domestic sea-river transport route connecting the Can Tho and Cai Mep ports. 

The barge service operates twice a week and reduces transit times of 48 hours by the river ways to 15 hours via a combination of river and routes, representing a 70% improvement. 

While the previous journey covers approximately 367 km, the coastal route is significantly shorter at around 200 km, making it a faster, more sustainable and cost-effective solution for cargo owners across Vietnam.
