PREFACE

Transportation service plays an increasingly important role in world trade. Today, the

abundance in global trading goods contribute to the development of transportation, which

quickly distributes goods to markets worldwide by narrowing the gap of space and time.

And history has proven that the great revolution has taken place in human social life are

reflected in the transport sector. Among which, the "containerization" revolution

profoundly changes many aspects, not only the transport sector but also in other economic

sectors.

Cargo transportation with containers has brought significant economic benefits. With

features such as: short transportation time, high safety for transporting objects, reduce

transportation costs to a minimum, ... container shipping increasingly dominated the

transport system in the world and is growing at a breakneck pace. While in the first phase,

the new container revolution took place in width, then today, the revolution is going on in

depth and gradually improved with the use of large container at most ports sea world.

During visit at Container Department of VIETNAM OCEAN SHIPPING JOINT

STOCK COMPANY I have learned about the process of foundation and development as

well as the actual management of container operation of the company and grown more

confident in the outlook development of container transport services. However, in the

time of volatile and intensely competetive economy, in order to survive and grow, the

Company requires an appropriate management and exploitation of containers. According

to theoretical basics, knowledge acquired from schools along with practical and dedicated

guidance of teacher Vũ Lê Huy I have chosen the topic: "INTRODUCTION OF

VIETNAM OCEAN SHIPPING JOINT STOCK COMPANY (VOSCO) AND

CONTAINER CONTROL PROCESS" as mid-course report.

then supervise lifting container on truck of OPS division.

Customers are received EIR and confirm Container status when conducting lease

Container at CY. Container are released have satisfy requirements of Booking as well as

the following technical standard: container watertight, door can be opened normally,

double-walled corrugated, good floor, no affect for goods when packing...

There is no fee if containers are detained at customers’ storage less than 3 days.

Detention Charge will be 100000 VND/20’/day; 150000 VND/40’/day since the fourth

day. EQC have to update data in the system so that Sales division have evidence for

requiring customers’ payment.

b. Container are released for packing cargo at CY

EQC coordinate with the Sales/Marketing division to forecast the amount of container

to satisfy the customers’ demand for packing at CY. Customer have to present Booking

Note or Empty Release Order to lease Containers. Containers are packed at CT will be

already to export and tracked as Full Export Container.

2.3.3. Full Export Container.

Full Export Container includes completely packing containers which are returned to

CY (regardless container packing at customers’ warehouse, at CY, or re-use container).

Customer will received Lift-off Order and pay Lift-on/ Lift-off charge. According to

regulation, the maximum tonnage of goods in containers is: 25T / 20 '& 28T / 40'.

Page 23: Preface

EQC responsible for tracking the Full Export Container, and coordinate with the OPS

and Sales / Marketing in minimizing lying time of container on the port in order to

decrease demurrage fee and avoiding customers use containers as their own storage.

2.3.4. Loading Container

EQC division will incorporate with Operation department and marketing division

based on Full Container List in order to make plan and prepare a Loading list. After the

container is loaded on ships, based on the Loading list, Bay plan, the OPS department will

draw up a Final loading list and send to EQC division to support for supervision. In the

process of loading, it is essential to pay attention to the following aspects:

First, the mooring work must be carried carefully before sailing under all

circumstances and weather, especially the bridge fittings for the top layer which

serve to link all the containers into a block against the shifting of each individual

container.

Besides, it is important not to use concurrently the twistlocks which have reverse

dimensions. If those are used, it leads to some container will not be locked by

mistake and sometimes container is craned when it is not unlock, so that it could be

impaired.

In particular, the reefer-containers have to load onto the ship with air conditioning

and a fan turned to sailing that avoids the impact of wind and wave to damage the

container's refrigeration system. It is also necessary to avoid stacking containers in

tier 2 or more. This will make difficult for the inspection record of the status

parameters of the container and the time to repair it in cruise time.

Figure 4: Container engaged with container

(Source: VOSCO depot)

2.3.5. Container is shipped on board

The containers are loaded on the ship and transported from a port of loading to a final

destination. Sailors and officers working in this shift have to keep track of everything

carefully to discover break-downs of the container-which happens very frequently,

Page 25: Preface

particularly when lifting goods by crane ship. That making timely records will prevent the

ship owner from unnecessary grievances, also laying foundation for claiming to

compensate for break-downs of the ship as mentioned above. Everyday, sailors have to be

assigned to check and modulate turnbuckcle because when the ship is moving, containers

will be vibrated leading to mooring loosened gradually. When the ship is moving, in

particular in bad weather conditions, please note that the sailors and the offices should

avoid passing waves, turning suddenly to prevent the ship from being flipped or

containers from being dropped into the sea.

Figure 5: Turnbukle

(Source: VOSCO depot)

2.3.6. Discharging Container

When the ship comes to the port, based on the Loading list and Bay plan, OPS

department makes unloading plan and inspects the special containers under the tracking of

EQC. During unloading process, it is essential to remind workers throwing tying devices

down the deck into the ocean precaution. When ship berthed, it is important for shift

guard to watchful mooring equipment stolen, even dump into the water and reopen after

the ship departure.

2.3.7. FD Container

After being lift-off at CY, Full Import Container will return to state of FD Container.

EQC coordinate with OPS in tracking FD Container. Within 05 days since being unload

on port, customer have to come to CY to receive container. DO charge is 50.000

Page 26: Preface

VND/order. Since 6th day, customer have to pay Demurage fee (120.000 VND/20’/day,

160.000 VND/40’/day). For reefer containers, electric charges are calculated since

container are unloaded from ship. EQC division have to update information about FD

Container into the system so that Sales division have evidence for requiring customers’

payment for Demurrage.

2.3.8. FU Container

a. Container Unpacking cargo at customers’ warehouse

Client have to present DO to exchange for EIR if they want to Unpacking Container at

their own warehouse. EQC coordinate with Sales/Marketing in tracking container which

are leased to customer, and require customer for returning container as soon as possible in

order to enhance efficiency of container turnaround performance. Customer have to pay

Detention Charge if they failing to complete unpacking within the time allowed.

Deposit for leasing container are: 500.000 VND/20’; 1.000.000 VND/40’. Special

customers or patrons can deposit per month (depending on the agreement between the

com

b. Container Unpacking cargo at CY

In the case of Container Unpacking at CY, EQC coordinate with OPS in tracking

unpacking process and update data in systems. After unpacking, these containers return to

state of MT.

2.3.9. Container is re-used for packing (without returned CY)

These are Full Import Container. After delivery to the customers’ warehouse for

unpacking, instead of returning CY, they re-use for packing other goods. This process

applies only to customer who have two-way delivery (sender is also receiver). Customers

must complete asking the permission to re-use for before unpacking. Local

Sales/Marketing divisions are responsible for checking and confirm “Re-use Container

Application”. EQC will base on status of Containers and Container Using Plan to make

the decision for this.

Page 27: Preface

CHAPTER III: GENERAL ASSESSMENT

Currently, EQC Dept and other Department of VOSCO are transforming their

management method from paper-based form to electric form. However, many actions still

have to perform by hand so that it takes a lot of time. In the future, to enhance work

efficiency as well as to improve service quality, Company needs to further promote the

application of scientific and technological achievements, especially computer software in

Container Control Process.

Although Container is made of durable martarial, Container is still damaged during a

long period time of transport, loading, and discharging. Curentlly, VOSCO have just

applied repair process for damaged container instead of a periodic maintenance of all

containers. In my opinion, the periodic maintenance is very necessary in order to ensure

the ability of supply best quality container which satisfy customer demand.

In addition, the company also needs to focus on upgrading infrastructure,

warehousing and port infrastructure. So that Company can maintain and improve the

quality of service as well as the efficiency of the Container management process.

Page 28: Preface

CHAPTER IV: CONCLUSION

In the market economy, competition for survival and development among enterprises

is an objective necessity. Therefore, enterprises must either constantly improve

themselves to develope, win the competition or fall behind, sliding off the general

trajectory of the economy, making losses lead to bankruptcy if they waste potentials and

be unable to keep up with timely changes in the marketplace.

After the visit at Transport Container Department of Vietnam Marine Transport Joint

Stock Company, I was acquainted with practical work in the company, along with the

rationale acknowledged in school, I strongly conclude that the organization and

management of the resources of the company in general and the management of container

extraction in particular has a significant impact and is especially important for the survival

and development of the company.

Due to my limited knowledge and time, mistakes are inevitable in the report, I would

be glad to be assessed by teacher in order to perfect my report.

Once again, I sincerely thank the enthusiastic help of Prof.Vu Le Huy and the staff of

Container Deparrment of VOSCO for helping me complete the mid-course report
