This report details the field trip that was organized for the logistics course to Cat Lai Port The objective of the trio was to provide students with practical knowledge and a better
understanding of the components of a logistics chain
The tour started with a visit to the Pier, where we observed the loading and unloading of containers from ships We were fascinated by the efficiency of the cranes and the precision with which the containers were moved We learned that the pier is the gateway for goods to enter the port and is one of the busiest areas in Cat Lai Port The second destination was the Barge Wharf, where we saw barges being loaded and unloaded We learned that the Barge Wharf is an essential part of the transportation process, especially for goods that are transported along the Mekong Delta River We saw how the barges were loaded and unloaded using cranes and how the goods were
transported to the CFS Warehouse
The third destination was the Inspection House, where we learned about the crucial role
Trang 4that the goods inspection area plays in ensuring that goods are transported safely and efficiently We observed the inspectors using advanced technology to conduct thorough inspections of the quality and safety of goods, as well as verifying related documents such as invoices and papers We also learned about the categorization of goods into the green, yellow, and red channels, and the procedures that are followed for each category
The fourth destination was the CFS Warehouse, where we observed the process of receiving and loading goods into the warehouse We learned about the strict safety protocols that are followed during the process to ensure that goods are handled safely and efficiently We also saw how the goods were stored in the warehouse, and the procedures that are followed for their dispatch to their next destination
The final destination was the Gate B, the center for coordination and control of access
to Cat Lai Port We learned about the importance of proper access control to the port, and the measures that are in place to ensure the safety and security of the port and its operations
In the end, the field trip was an informative and enlightening experience It provided us with practical knowledge and a better understanding of the components of a logistics chain, and how each component plays an essential role in ensuring that goods are transported safely and efficiently We would like to extend our thanks to Cat Lai Port for providing us with this opportunity to enhance our knowledge and understanding of logistics

1 Main funtion of the goods inspection area:
The goods inspection area at Cat Lai Port is a crucial checkpoint responsible for verifying the quality and safety of goods before they are transported The area plays a vital role in ensuring that all goods meet the required standards and are fit for transportation Its main functions include conducting thorough inspections of the quality
of goods, assessing their safety and validity, and verifying the accuracy of related documents such as invoices and papers
The process of checking goods The inspectors working in this area are highly trained and equipped with the latest technology to carry out their inspections efficiently and effectively They ensure that goods are properly packaged, correctly labeled, and adequately secured for transportation The inspectors also verify that the transportation vehicles meet the
Trang 7necessary safety requirements and that the drivers are licensed and qualified to transport the goods
The goods inspection area also handles substandard goods that do not meet the quality and safety requirements These goods are managed according to the requirements of the law, and appropriate actions are taken to ensure that they do not pose a risk to the environment or public health
When goods are inspected at Cat Lai Port, they are categorized into three channels: green, yellow, and red The green channel refers to goods that are deemed easy to transport, do not pose any problems, and have no significant impact on the environment Goods that fall under this channel are cleared for shipment and are transported promptly to their destination
2 Channels of the goods inspection area:
The inspectors at the goods inspection area use their expertise and advanced
technology to determine which channel the goods belong to
@ lf the goods meet all the required quality and safety standards, and their related documents are in order, they will be assigned to the green channel Goods that are assigned to the green channel are considered low-risk, and their transportation is not subject to any additional scrutiny or delays This helps to ensure that the goods are delivered on time and that the supply chain is not disrupted The green channel
is an important aspect of the goods inspection process at Cat Lai port It allows goods that meet the necessary requirements to be transported efficiently, while also helping to maintain the safety and integrity of the transportation process
@ The yellow channel includes goods that are of good quality, but are considered sensitive due to their nature or history This may include goods that have been modified multiple times or contain confidential information For goods that fall under this channel, enterprises are required to submit additional documents to customs to ensure their safe transportation
@ The red channel is reserved for goods that are considered high risk due to their hazardous nature or unknown origin These may include goods that are toxic,
Trang 8flammable, explosive, or dangerous, such as chemicals, drugs, or goods with alcohol content If goods fall under this channel, customs will conduct a rigorous inspection of the goods and their related documents to ensure their safe
transportation
@ I|naddition, for goods that cannot be visually inspected, such as those that are concealed or hidden, the customs will use advanced scanning technology to conduct a thorough inspection This ensures that even the most challenging goods are thoroughly inspected and cleared for transportation
To sum up, the categorization of goods into different channels helps to ensure that goods are transported safely and efficiently, while also maintaining the integrity of the transportation process The strict adherence to the inspection process and the use
of advanced technology helps to maintain the highest level of safety and security for all goods passing through Cat Lai port

Trang 13III How many maritime routes can cargo ships from Cat Lai take ?
Cat Lai Port is the largest and most modern international container port in Vietnam, located in District 2 of Ho Chi Minh City It handles over 90% of container import and export in the southern region and nearly 50% of the country's market share The port operates continuously 24/7 to meet customer needs, even during delays at weighing stations and road interchanges However, Cat Lai can only receive mid-sized feeder ships with a capacity of fewer than 2,900 TEUs, specializing in transporting Asian routes
To handle long-distance trips to the US, EU, and other locations, Vietnam has built the first deep-water port, Cai Mep - Thi Vai, capable of receiving ships with a capacity of 18,000 TEUs This port will help Vietnam compete more effectively in the global marketplace and attract more foreign investment
Cat Lai plays a crucial role in exporting domestically produced goods, with most products from this region exported abroad through the port It serves as a major logistics hub for the region, providing efficient and reliable transportation services to businesses With its advanced facilities and equipment and continuous operation, Cat Lai is well-equipped to handle the increasing demand for import and export activities in Vietnam and continues to contribute significantly to the country's overall trade and
