The unplanned dumpsite
The unplanned dumpsiteBy Son Nguyen Waste is being stacked up, day in day out, at several seaports in the country, as if Vietnam were a dumpsite of the world. Port operators now find themselves in a quagmire, as tens of thousands of containers are being abandoned there, aggravating port congestion on one hand and adversely affecting port operators’ business efficiency on the other. The key reasons, according to local media, include the lack of efficient solutions to deal with the abandoned containers, and the absence of good rules to choke off imports of such unwanted waste. In fact, the situation of containers numbering in the thousands being abandoned at seaports have been known for years, but all have turned worse since early this year when China made a decision banning imports of waste. The flow of waste has ever since been diverted into Vietnam, where the legal barrier can be seen as more porous. Outcries from operators of ports, especially at Cat Lai Port in HCMC, are … [Read more...] about The unplanned dumpsite
