With Vietnam's booming economy, many of its ports, highways and airports are experiencing congestion and capacity constraints. Pushing to close the infrastructure gap and bolster regional competitiveness, in the Transport Strategy 2020 the government has outlined significant upgrades to its road networks, while the recent construction of a deep water sea port in HCMC has improved trade flows and reduced shipping costs. By 2020, total cargo volumes are forecast to reach 2.09bn tonnes, of which 65-70% will be moved by road, 1-3% by railway, 17-20% by inland waterway, 9-14% by sea and 0.1-0.2% by air.
