Some shipping lines also asked about immigration procedures for foreign ships entering Vi Sai inland water port.

Accordingly, the representative of Vung Tau Port port border gate Customs Branch said that according to Decision 2942 / QD-BGTVT, Vi Sai port is a floating dock, which can receive foreign ships for repair but not for goods delivery. However, because Vi Sai port does not connect with the national single-window system, the shipping lines cannot carry out electronic customs procedures. To be able to carry out electronic customs procedures, Vi Sai port needs to contact the competent authority to be issued with a port code on the national singlewindow system.
