In Vietnam, offshore oil and gas logistics point almost inevitably to Vung Tau, the service centre for the production fields of the South China Sea. At its core sits the roughly 82-hectare PTSC supply base, which since 1988 has served the upstream industry with manpower, cranes, offshore containers (CCU), supply vessels and project materials. Located at the mouth of the Saigon river system, the port mainly handles supply-base traffic, breakbulk and petroleum products rather than conventional liner cargo. Large deepwater container volumes do not move through the city itself but through the nearby Cai Mep–Thi Vai complex, which works mega-carriers direct to Europe and North America. Road and inland-waterway links tie Vung Tau closely to the Ho Chi Minh City economic region. For pure container shipments Cai Mep is the address of choice; for offshore and project logistics, Vung Tau itself is.
