"Stratetical intersection" of the expanded Capital Region
Although not located on the coast, Bac Ninh still holds a strategic advantage with its central location in the Northern key economic region, a convergence point of many key transport axes such as National Highway 1A, Bac Ninh - Lang Son Expressway, Hanoi - Dong Dang cross-border railway, and a quick connection to Hai Phong and Cai Lan seaports.
In particular, with the Gia Binh International Airport planning expected to be completed by the end of 2025, Bac Ninh will further increase its position in terms of trade connectivity.
In the context of Vietnam boosting exports and optimizing the global supply chain, the need for regional logistics centers - where goods are gathered, distributed and connected to the market - becomes urgent. Bac Ninh meets all the conditions to take on that role.
The rapid development of infrastructure, in harmony with its strategic location, makes this locality not only play a transit role but also become a coordinating core for the entire Northern midlands and mountainous areas in the national logistics supply chain.
ICD dry port: foundation for inter-regional logistics center
Over the years, the phrase ic port (ICD) has been increasingly mentioned as a key solution to the domestic logistics problem, especially for provinces without the advantage of seaports like Bac Ninh.
This is a modern inland port model, integrating the functions of customs clearance, storage, distribution, and container loading, helping to reduce the load on large seaports and save time for transporting import and export goods.
In Bac Ninh, the orientation for developing the ICD system is being implemented at logistics "hot" locations such as Quang Chau Industrial Park, Van Trung, and along routes connecting to the expressway. These centers not only serve the needs of FDI enterprises producing locally but can also become transit points for goods to neighboring provinces such as Lang Son, Thai Nguyen or Cao Bang.
Infrastructure explosions - a catalyst for logistics
To meet the needs, the province has proactively promoted investment in logistics infrastructure connections such as industrial - logistics belt roads being deployed; modern logistics systems integrated with smart management technology are being encouraged to develop according to the socialization model; provincial and district routes are being expanded, ensuring synchronous connections from industrial parks to logistics centers and large transport units.
The development of logistics infrastructure helps reduce transportation costs, shorten delivery time, increase business competitiveness, and continue to flow FDI capital. This is the foundation for Bac Ninh to affirm its role as a regional supply chain coordination center, far exceeding the stature of a simple industrial province.
Leading strategy: Green - Smart - Integrated logistics
Not only developing traditional infrastructure, Bac Ninh also aims to build a modern, green and smart logistics model towards reducing emissions.
Integrated logistics clusters will include: operation center, refrigeration warehouse, automatic classification area, e-commerce distribution center, and AI - IoT technology management system.
In the context of a restructuring global supply chain, Bac Ninh possesses a strategic position, strong connecting infrastructure and a favorable investment environment, and is facing a golden opportunity to become a new strategic logistics axis for Vietnam.
This is not only a development opportunity for the logistics industry, but also opens up great growth space for industrial real estate, services and the entire local economy in the coming time.
