The process of importing coal by rail in our country today

Besides nhập khẩu than by road, coal is also imported by rail. However, this form is the least common in Vietnam because the Vietnamese railway system is not up to standard as well as causing some limitations in coal transportation. In addition, the existing railway system is less connected with other transport channels, making it isolated and rarely used.

Another reason coal companies have not been deeply attached to the railway is that the related warehouse system is not convenient and does not guarantee labor safety for its workers. Besides, the facilities are of poor quality but the storage prices are too high compared to other modes of coal transport available on the market.
