Despite losing 2-3 to the UAE in the last match of group G Tuesday, Vietnam still advanced as one of the five best second-placed teams in the tournament. With the withdrawal of North Korea from the qualifiers, their results from all matches in the second round already played were declared null and void. Therefore, after the second round concluded, the results of matches between second- and fifth-placed teams in the remaining groups would also not be counted in order to have a balanced comparison between all group runners-up and alleviate any possible imbalance between the seven qualifying groups caused by North Korea’s withdrawal from group H. After deducting six points from the wins against Indonesia, who are fifth in group G, Vietnam have 11 points. The Golden Dragons bested other second-placed teams in other groups like Jordan, Tajikistan and Lebanon. This is Vietnam’s very first time at the third qualifying round of World Cup, which will take place between September 2021 and March 2022. The 12 teams that advance from the second round will be divided into two groups of six teams to play home-and-away round-robin matches. The top two teams of each group will qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and the two third-placed teams will advance to the playoffs. The draw for the third round will be held after the second round is concluded. …

Lach Huyen Terminal in Hai Phong city (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Careful consideration is needed before increasing seaport services charges to limit negative impacts on the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Vietnam Maritime Administration. Responding to the Vietnam Ship Agents, Brokers and Maritime Service Providers Association (VISABA)’s proposal to raise container handling charges, the maritime administration said while the COVID-19 pandemic was still complex and hitting firms hard, the logistics costs must not cause any more burdens for import and export firms. The Government also asked to keep service charges stable at this time. VISABA recently proposed the minimum container loading and unloading charges at some ports in the northern region be increased by 10 percent annually for three consecutive years, starting from July 1, 2021. For deep-water seaports, Lach Huyen and Cai Mep - Thi Vai, the increase was proposed to be at least 20 percent from July 1 and 10 percent for the next three years. Nguyen Xuan Ky, general director of Tan Cang - Cai Mep International Terminal Company Limited, said seaports played an important role in the circulation of goods, adding it was necessary to increase services changes so enterprises could have resources for reinvestment. According to the Vietnam Maritime Administration , foreign shipping lines collect a terminal handling charge of around 114-173 USD per container on their customers in Vietnam. However, Vietnam’s ports collect very low container handling charges, about 33 USD per 20ft-container at Dinh Vu, 52 USD at Cai Mep and 41 USD at HCM City. The container loading and unloading charges of Vietnam remained low, only equivalent to 80 percent of Cambodia, 70 percent of Malaysia, 61 percent of Indonesia and 46 percent of Singapore. The low container handling charges were considered a competitive advantage of Vietnam’s seaport system to attract big cargo container ships …
