In today’s global supply chain, speed and efficiency are more important than ever. That’s why choosing industrial parks near seaports has become a crucial factor for businesses seeking to optimize transportation costs and reduce international shipping time. Particularly in Southern Vietnam the country’s economic powerhouse many industrial parks have been strategically planned near major seaports, offering ideal conditions for logistics and export activities.
In addition to their strategic locations, these industrial parks feature well-developed infrastructure and flexible land areas, suitable for businesses looking to design build modern factories that meet international standards.
In this article, BIC introduces the top 5 seaport-adjacent industrial parks to help you select the ideal location for investment, production expansion, and sustainable development.
Located in Nha Be District, Ho Chi Minh City, Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park holds a strategic position directly connecting to Long An, Dong Nai, and the city center. Featuring a multi-modal transportation system (road and waterway), it is just minutes away from SPCT Port and Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc, making it particularly convenient for logistics, transshipment, and export activities.
With a total area of 1,686 ha, Hiep Phuoc is currently the largest industrial park in Ho Chi Minh City. It is an ideal destination for businesses seeking modern industrial facilities in logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, or import-export.
The park offers diverse land plots, completed infrastructure, and has attracted over 200 domestic and foreign investors (from Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.) across industries such as food processing, logistics, high-tech, mechanical engineering, R&D, packaging, and textiles.
Situated in Long Hau Commune, Can Giuoc District, Long An Province, Long Hau Industrial Park is only about 3 km from SPCT Port and Tan Cang Hiep Phuoc. This proximity makes it highly favorable for waterway transport and goods transshipment. Strategically located, it is approximately 12 km from Phu My Hung Urban Area, 19–25 km from downtown HCMC, 21–25 km from Tan Son Nhat Airport, and 35 km from the future Long Thanh Airport.
With a total planned area of nearly 500 ha, the park has been developed in several phases (137 ha in phase 1, a 108 ha expansion, and Long Hau 3 with ~124 ha). It features 100% completed infrastructure and an on-site port capable of accommodating vessels from 1,000 to 6,000 tons.
Long Hau hosts a wide range of industries: logistics, warehousing, supporting industries, precision engineering, pharmaceuticals, clean food production, and high-tech sectors. It offers flexible leasing areas, ready-built factories, and custom-built factory design and construction services perfect for businesses needing high-tech factories or logistics warehouses built to international standards.
Phuoc Dong Wharf Industrial Park in Long An is an ideal destination for businesses in logistics and export. Located at Hamlet 5, Provincial Road 826B, Phuoc Dong Commune, Can Duoc District, the project lies at the heart of the Southern Key Economic Zone. Bordered by the Vam Co River on all four sides, it enjoys significant waterway advantages with nearly 2.6 km of riverfront, along with regional road connectivity. Businesses can easily access HCMC (45 km), Hiep Phuoc Port (30 km), and Tan Son Nhat Airport (42 km), enabling rapid trade expansion.
The park covers 128.8 to 145 ha, including 92.4 ha of industrial land, 39 ha of ready-built factories, 6 ha of warehouses, and the rest dedicated to internal roads, green spaces, and administrative-service areas. With total infrastructure investment reaching USD 3 billion, the park is designed for long-term development, with operations projected until 2059.
A standout feature is its international port complex located within the park, covering 50 ha with two modern wharves capable of handling ships up to 20,000 DWT. The wharves are 1.8 km long and 30 - 350m wide, making them well-equipped for large vessel operations, offering a significant logistics and export advantage to on-site businesses.
Cai Mep Industrial Park is located in Tan Phuoc and Phuoc Hoa Wards, Phu My Town, Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province, part of the Southern Key Economic Region. Its location is exceptionally favorable: bordered by the Cai Mep and Thi Vai Rivers to the west and Mo Nhat River to the east, the park is ideal for water transport and the development of specialized seaport systems. From here, businesses can quickly connect to HCMC (70 km), Vung Tau (40 km), and Long Thanh International Airport (47 km) via National Highway 51 and key expressways like HCMC – Long Thanh – Dau Giay.
The park spans 670 ha, comprising 200 ha for ports, 249 ha for industrial land, and 221 ha for roads, green areas, and technical facilities. Adjacent to major deep-water ports like Cai Mep – Thi Vai and Gemalink, it can handle vessels up to 200,000 DWT, offering a major competitive edge in international logistics and transport cost savings.
Industry-wise, Cai Mep suits heavy industries requiring specialized ports, such as chemicals, metallurgy, warehousing, and oil & gas. It also welcomes clean industries like food processing, precision engineering, ship repair, and logistics. With flexible policies, land plots range from a few to over 40 ha, suitable for Build-to-Suit factory design and construction, empowering businesses with control over size, technical standards, and implementation timelines.
Soai Rap Industrial Park is located in Gia Thuan and Vam Lang Communes, Go Cong Dong District, Tien Giang Province. It is one of the few parks situated at the intersection of seaports and inland waterways, providing a significant advantage for multimodal goods transshipment. Positioned near the Soai Rap River and the Go Cong sea dike, it directly connects to the Mekong Delta's regional waterway network. From here, businesses can easily access HCMC (60 km via National Highway 50), My Tho City (50 km), and Hiep Phuoc Port (57 km), broadening trade and export opportunities.
The park has a planned area of about 285 ha, with 174 ha allocated for industrial leasing. Though the current occupancy rate is just around 13%, this represents a significant opportunity for investors seeking large-scale land for modern production models. A notable project here is the PV Pipe steel pipe factory, with over VND 2,175 billion in registered capital. Originally named Soai Rap Shipbuilding Industrial Park, it was renamed Soai Rap Oil & Gas Service Industrial Park under Decision No. 1983/TTg-KTN in 2010. The developer is PETROCONs (Vietnam Petroleum Construction Joint Stock Corporation), a trusted name in the oil and gas sector.
Soai Rap focuses on industries supporting oil and gas, such as shipbuilding, mechanical manufacturing, welding rod and steel structure production. It also supports seafood processing, cold storage, and logistics services for export, catering to the growing demands of the Southern market.
With flexible industrial land and direct access to key waterway routes, Soai Rap is an ideal choice for businesses pursuing the Build-to-Suit model offering custom factory design, construction, and implementation to meet technical standards and optimize operational costs for logistics and export production.
As manufacturing and exports become increasingly dependent on logistics efficiency, factory design in port-adjacent industrial parks is becoming a strategic trend for both local and international enterprises.
Setting up factories in industrial parks adjacent to seaports provides many tangible benefits:
- Reduced logistics costs: Minimizes transport distance, storage fees, and transit time.
- Optimized supply chain flows: Enables seamless connection between road, waterway, and sea routes especially beneficial for import-export and warehousing services.
- Greater production and distribution flexibility: Supports large-volume order fulfillment and timely response to global market demands.
A factory is not just a place for operations; it is a strategic asset that requires careful investment starting from the design phase. Partnering with a professional factory design and construction company provides critical advantages:
- Guaranteed technical standards and functionality: From load-bearing structures, fire protection systems to cleanroom or GMP/ISO-certified areas.
- Optimized upfront and long-term operating costs: Proper design helps save materials, reduce energy consumption, and lower maintenance expenses.
- Assured project timelines and quality: Speeds up time-to-operation, enhancing competitiveness.
