Therefore, we unanimously decided water carrier will transport our product from Sai Gon Port to Richard's Bay. Positively, this kind of transportation will save cost efficiently due to a large volume of product. Moreover, in the south of Vietnam, very few people who do not know the prestige and quality of Sai Gon Port with over 150 years of history.

We decided that, our company should use truck in order to transport the cargo because there are no train stations in the area and the plan can not transport a large amount of goods. It is more convenient for the truck to use the toll road because it clear and safe to use at night. Moreover the cost of using toll road from Richard’s Bay to Johannesburg is just $1 USD and the fuel cost is approximately from $55 to $80 USD. Therefore, it is the best way for our company to transport goods to the customer safer and faster.
