TNT opens operations centre in Ho Chi Minh City

TNT, a provider of integrated express services, has officially opened its newly expanded and re-modelled International and Domestic Operations Centre in Ho Chi Minh City.

Located next to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the 3,000-square-metres facility is said to feature state-of-the-art technology for freight processing, tracking and security.

"By modernising and expanding the country's express and freight infrastructure, in tandem with the growth of Vietnam, TNT aims to take a key position in contributing to the support of important national trade and development goals," a TNT statement said.

Mark van Den Assem, country managing director of TNT Vietnam, said: "With the existing International and Domestic Operations Centre in Hanoi that opened in August last year, TNT's new Ho Chi Minh City International and Domestic Operations Centre possesses advanced freight processing technology and is designed to support and further develop Vietnam's potential by speeding up turnaround times, safety and reliability of goods.

"The security features at this new hub are particularly important to ensure the safe transportation of high value goods such as luxury garments, microchips and machine components."

TNT's new International and Domestic Operations Centre in Ho Chi Minh City is described by the company as being the only commercial express and freight hub in Vietnam with in-house customs and a solid security system.

 

The facility is said to possess the latest X-ray scanning machines, radio-frequency (RF) shipment tracking systems, automated weight and volume scanners, closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance, and alarm systems. This has earned the facility TAPA 'A' status.
