VANTAGE LOGISTICS – INTEGRATED CROSS-BORDER TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS IN THE MEKONG REGION

Connecting supply chains across Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand through synchronized maritime-road corridors and cross-border transit customs. In manufacturing and international trade, moving raw materials, components, and finished goods across Mekong countries requires a balance between delivery speed and logistics costs. Compared to sea freight, cross-border trucking reduces transit times significantly. However, the most critical operational challenges involve transit customs procedures and differing axle-load regulations across jurisdictions. A minor documentation discrepancy at the border or an axle-load calculation error can cause border congestion and incur substantial truck demurrage fees. Vantage Logistics delivers integrated Cross-Border Logistics solutions, combining multimodal connectivity, strict regulatory compliance, and localized operational management: 1. Flexible Transport Configurations Tailored to project budgets, delivery schedules, and vehicle circulation regulations across each market, Vantage Logistics deploys adaptable transport options: Border Transshipment (Back-to-Back Trucking): Coordinating cargo transfers or prime mover swaps at key border checkpoints (such as Moc Bai / Bavet and Lao Bao / Dansavanh) to optimize operating costs when vehicles are restricted from operating deep into the destination country Direct Cross-Border Trucking: Providing vehicles with valid international road transport permits and logbooks, ensuring seamless door-to-door delivery from dispatch facility to consignee warehouse Cross-Border Axle-Load Compliance: Calculating and distributing cargo weight in strict accordance with national regulations across Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Laos, preventing fines or forced offloading at border weigh stations Bonded Trucking: Managing cargo transit under customs supervision with intact customs seals from seaports to export border checkpoints or designated bonded facilities 24/7 GPS Tracking: Delivering real-time vehicle positioning to monitor route progress, milestone checkpoints, and actual on-site delivery 2. Transit Customs Clearance & GMS Framework Expertise Synchronizing documentation workflows to maintain uninterrupted cross-border cargo flow: Multilateral Transport Frameworks (GMS & Bilateral Agreements): Assisting clients in completing applications for cross-border transport permits and logbooks under the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Cross-Border Transport Agreement and bilateral road transport pacts between Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Laos Pre-Arrival Document Synchronization: Closely coordinating between documentation teams in Viet Nam and our Phnom Penh branch office / localized partner networks to cross-check transit declarations and commercial invoices before vehicles arrive at the border, minimizing wait times at border checkpoints Transit Customs Clearance via Viet Nam: Managing customs transit declarations for international shipments moving through Viet Nam’s major seaports (Cat Lai, Cai Mep, Hai Phong, Da Nang) to Cambodia, Laos, and vice versa Quarantine & Tariff Consultation: Representing cargo owners in specialized inspections (phytosanitary and veterinary quarantine) at international border gates; advising on HS code classification and verifying the validity of Certificate of Origin (C/O Form D) under the ATIGA framework to ensure applicable tariff preferences Proof of Delivery (POD) Management: Collecting, reviewing, and delivering official POD documents endorsed by customs authorities at both borders for tax finalization, while providing advisory support on local road tolls and regional fiscal requirements 3.

FACTORY-TO-PORT TRUCKING SERVICES: KEEP YOUR EXPORT SCHEDULE ON TRACK AND AVOID CUT-OFF RISKS WITH VANTAGE LOGISTICS

Many exporters face a common challenge: production is completed, vessel booking has been confirmed, yet the container still fails to reach the port as planned. In most cases, the root cause lies within the inland transportation process. Delayed truck arrivals, late empty container releases, traffic congestion, port bottlenecks, or poor coordination between trucking schedules and vessel departures can all disrupt the supply chain. For exporters, this is more than a transportation issue – it is a significant operational risk that can directly impact delivery commitments and overall logistics costs. In many situations, the financial impact of a missed port cut-off can far exceed any transportation savings a company initially sought to achieve. More importantly, shipment delays can damage customer relationships and undermine delivery commitments made to overseas buyers. What Sets Vantage Logistics Apart Understanding these challenges, Vantage Logistics provides dedicated trucking solutions designed to minimize cut-off risks through: End-to-End Operational Control: We closely manage every stage of the process – from empty container pickup, factory stuffing, customs clearance, and port delivery – to ensure no critical step is overlooked.

Vantage Logistics Conducts 2026 Information Security Awareness Training

May 29, 2026 – Vantage Logistics successfully conducted its 2026 Information Security Awareness Training Program for employees across the organization, reinforcing the company’s commitment to cybersecurity, operational resilience, and customer data protection. The training was delivered through a hybrid format, combining in-person participation with online attendance via Zoom. The program was led by Vantage Logistics’ Information Technology (IT) Department and focused on strengthening employees’ ability to identify, prevent, and respond to evolving cyber threats. Information Security: One of Vantage Logistics’ Core Service Commitments At Vantage Logistics, business operations are guided by five fundamental service commitments: Safety Regulatory Compliance Information Security and Confidentiality On-Time Execution Service and Cost Optimization As supply chains become increasingly digital and interconnected, information security has evolved beyond a technical requirement. It is a critical business priority that supports operational continuity, protects sensitive information, and strengthens trust between logistics providers, customers, and business partners. For companies that manage transportation data, customs documentation, commercial contracts, and international financial transactions, maintaining strong cybersecurity controls is essential to ensuring the integrity of global supply chain operations. Preparing for Growing Cybersecurity Risks Across the Logistics Industry Cybercrime continues to escalate worldwide. Industry forecasts estimate that global cybercrime damages will reach USD 10.5 trillion in 2025, with annual losses expected to rise to USD 12.2 trillion by 2031. In Viet Nam alone, approximately 156,000 systems were impacted by ransomware attacks in 2025, resulting in economic losses estimated in the tens of trillions of Vietnamese dong. These figures highlight the growing scale and sophistication of cyber threats facing businesses across all sectors. The logistics industry remains one of the most targeted sectors due to its reliance on interconnected systems, extensive email communications, financial transactions, and time-sensitive operational data. Cybercriminals increasingly employ tactics such as phishing, business email compromise, account takeover, payment fraud, and ransomware attacks. In 2025, 283 confirmed ransomware incidents targeted transportation and logistics companies worldwide, exceeding the combined total reported in 2023 and 2024. Several high-profile incidents demonstrate the potential impact of cybersecurity breaches on global supply chains. The 2017 NotPetya attack caused losses estimated between USD 200 million and USD 300 million for shipping giant Maersk and disrupted port operations worldwide, contributing to billions of dollars in broader economic losses. More recently, a ransomware attack on Japan’s Nagoya Port in 2023 forced operations to halt for two days, affecting approximately 10% of the country’s trade volume. Beyond operational disruption, data breaches carry significant financial consequences. The average data breach in the transportation sector is estimated to cost USD 4.18 million, while studies indicate that approximately 60% of small and medium-sized businesses may cease operations within six months of a major cyberattack or data breach. Strengthening Employee Awareness and Response Capabilities To address these challenges, Vantage Logistics designed the 2026 training program around practical, real-world scenarios relevant to the logistics industry. Key training areas included: Threat Recognition: Understanding malware, ransomware, phishing campaigns, and other cyber threats commonly targeting logistics and transportation businesses. Early Detection: Identifying suspicious emails, account compromise attempts, data theft activities, and other warning signs before incidents escalate. Rapid Response: Following standardized verification and reporting procedures to reduce security vulnerabilities and support timely incident response. The program also covered emerging fraud trends involving artificial intelligence, including deepfake technology, voice impersonation, and increasingly sophisticated social engineering techniques. Building a Company-Wide Security Culture The training program is part of Vantage Logistics’ ongoing effort to build a culture of information security, where every employee plays a vital role in identifying risks and safeguarding data in their daily work. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we will keep updating and delivering advanced training programs to strengthen employee skills in information protection and risk management – ensuring resilience in serving customers and collaborating with partners. Information security is no longer the sole responsibility of the IT department; it is a core organizational value. By continuously investing in people, processes, and technology, Vantage Logistics is committed to maintaining a secure working environment, protecting customer and partner data, and enhancing service quality across our logistics operations.

Multiple storage models: Solutions include general warehouses, bonded warehouses, CFS facilities, and connections with inland container depots (ICDs), allowing businesses to scale storage capacity based on seasonal demand or short-term operational requirements. International-standard value-added services (VAS): Warehouse operations can include sorting, packing and repacking, labelling, cargo marking, inventory checks, and quality control (QC). These processes help improve shipment readiness and minimize operational disruption before export. Strategic Advantages for Export Businesses The flexible warehousing model offered by Vantage Logistics helps exporters improve operational control and cost efficiency in several areas: More efficient cost structure: Businesses can shift from fixed infrastructure investment to variable operating costs aligned with actual cargo volume and storage duration. Greater flexibility during market fluctuations: Storage space can be expanded or reduced depending on seasonal demand and changing vessel schedules, without long-term leasing commitments. Faster supply chain coordination: Improved synchronization between factories, warehouses, and export gateways helps reduce operational pressure during peak shipping periods. Vantage Logistics continues to support exporters in Viet Nam and Southeast Asia with warehousing strategies designed to improve operational flexibility, strengthen cost control, and support long-term competitiveness in global trade....

Banana Exports 2026: Cold Chain Under Pressure

Banana exports from Viet Nam are experiencing strong momentum as numerous enterprises expand cultivation areas, elevate production standards, and accelerate shipments to Asian markets. Dong Nai, Viet Nam’s leading banana-producing province, cultivates nearly 21,000 hectares yielding over 900,000 metric tons annually, with 80% bound for export. Key markets include China, Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia. In April 2026, Dong Nai began the new export season with 11 containers – 220 metric tons of fresh bananas – bound for international markets. However, behind these impressive figures lies mounting pressure on cold chain logistics. Viet Nam’s cold storage infrastructure is uneven, with facilities concentrated in urban areas but lacking in agricultural regions. This imbalance leaves the cold chain vulnerable to post-harvest disruptions. For bananas – highly sensitive to temperature – maintaining a stable 12–14°C (54–57°F) throughout export transit is critical. Cold Chain Logistics Under Pressure as Exports Accelerate For fresh bananas, product quality depends directly on storage temperature, transit time, customs clearance efficiency, and vessel schedule reliability. As export volumes surge, logistics operators face increasingly stringent operational requirements: Shortages of refrigerated (reefer) container equipment during peak harvest seasons Inland transportation coordination pressures from cultivation zones to ocean ports Stricter quarantine and traceability procedures enforced by importing countries Risks from volatile shipping schedules or port congestion at transshipment hubs High demands for real-time tracking and end-to-end visibility for every shipment A single delayed vessel or a lapse in temperature control does more than just cause direct financial loss; it severely damages a company’s commercial reputation. In the Chinese market, border gate congestion and supply-demand fluctuations mean a delay of just a few days can wipe out a shipment’s entire commercial value. Meanwhile, in highly demanding markets like Japan or South Korea, even a minor temperature deviation can lead to immediate rejection or mandatory re-handling at the destination port – resulting in massive unexpected costs and jeopardizing long-term partnerships. Cold Chain: The New Competitive Edge for Viet Nam’s Agriculture In a highly competitive international market, a sustainable advantage no longer relies solely on price or volume. The ability to maintain consistent product quality, guarantee delivery schedules, and mitigate transit risks dictates whether an exporter can successfully penetrate global distribution chains. Vantage Logistics: Partnering in the Agricultural Export Supply Chain Recognizing the time-sensitive and temperature-sensitive nature of fresh fruit, Vantage Logistics provides specialized logistics solutions for bananas and other agricultural products exported from Viet Nam to Asian markets, with a core focus on trade lanes to China, Japan, and South Korea. Our operational capabilities include: Consistent supply and coordination of refrigerated (reefer) containers, even during peak seasons Optimized multimodal transportation to minimize transit time from plantations to export ports Expedited customs clearance managed by a team specialized in phytosanitary procedures and agricultural export documentation Strong partnerships with major ocean carriers to secure stable vessel schedules and equipment space allocation. Modern warehousing systems supporting cargo consolidation and sorting under export-grade standards Leveraging extensive field experience and a deep understanding of cold chain risks, Vantage Logistics commits to helping businesses optimize operational costs, preserve agricultural quality, and enhance supply chain resilience.

Viet Nam’s Road Transport in the Digital Age: Trucking Solutions for Cost Control

In the trucking industry, the primary challenge has shifted. It is no longer just about securing a vehicle; it is about precise timing and synchronized coordination with shipping schedules. In a market increasingly driven by data and transparency, these factors are the true deciders of a company’s bottom line. The Road Transport Market: High Volume, High Pressure Road transport currently handles approximately 75–77% of Viet Nam’s domestic freight, serving as the critical link between factories, warehouses, seaports, and logistics hubs. While the market size is estimated at $21 billion with steady growth projections, the industry faces persistent structural hurdles: Fragmentation: A market dominated by small-scale operators. Operational Opacity: A lack of transparency in dispatching and coordination. High Inefficiency: Empty backhaul rates remain high, estimated at 60–70%. Cost Burdens: Logistics costs hover around 20% of GDP, significantly higher than in many other nations. These factors make trucking a vital yet volatile link in the supply chain, where costs can easily spiral out of control. Digital Platforms: Improved Connectivity, Unresolved Operations Digital trucking platforms have improved the market by facilitating faster connections between shippers and carriers, increasing transparency in freight rates, and improving vehicle fill rates by an estimated 10–12%. However, for importers and exporters, the core problem goes beyond simply finding a truck. Businesses do not just need competitive rates; they require predictability and the ability to control actual operational costs. The Reality of Hidden Costs In practice, the majority of logistics overruns do not stem from the freight rate itself, but from operational deviations. Missing a vessel’s cut-off time by just a few hours can lead to: Excessive demurrage and detention (DEM/DET) fees. Disrupted shipping schedules. A domino effect across the entire supply chain. These issues are largely the result of a lack of real-time visibility and unsynchronized dispatching. Vantage Logistics: A Comprehensive Operational Solution In today’s environment, road transport is about the ability to manage and oversee the entire journey. Moving beyond the role of a traditional carrier, Vantage Logistics focuses on operational management solutions designed to streamline workflows and mitigate unforeseen expenses. Diverse Transport Capacity Vantage Logistics maintains a stable volume of 3,000 – 5,000 TEUs per month, supporting a wide range of cargo sectors: Containerized Cargo: Efficiently connecting ICDs and seaports for import-export activities. Bulk Cargo (Steel, Coils): Utilizing a specialized fleet tailored to heavy industrial needs. Cold Chain (Seafood, Fruit): Preserving quality through modern refrigerated container systems. Chemicals: Adhering to rigorous safety protocols and technical standards. Optimized Operational Strategy The company utilizes a hybrid model, combining an in-house fleet (50%) with a network of strategic partners (50%). This approach ensures a balance between quality control and the flexibility to scale during peak seasons, preventing vehicle shortages. With an operational network spanning Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia, Vantage facilitates seamless regional supply chain integration. The company deploys 150–200 trailers daily, ensuring high-volume capacity and on-time performance. Technology-Driven Visibility (TMS) Vantage Logistics differentiates itself through proactive management powered by a Transportation Management System (TMS): Real-Time Tracking: Clients can monitor container status at every milestone – from empty pickup and loading to port arrival and container return.

HUNG KINGS’ COMMEMORATION DAY 2026: HONOURING ORIGINS, SUSTAINING GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY

Each year on the 10th day of the third lunar month, people across Viet Nam pause to honour their origins. For Vantage Logistics, Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day is not simply a public holiday. It is a moment to reflect on the country’s foundation–and on the values that continue to shape how Viet Nam connects with global markets today. A Cultural Legacy Anchored in History Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day pays tribute to the Hung Kings, founders of the ancient state of Van Lang. Over thousands of years, the principle of remembering one’s roots has remained central to Viet Namese identity. Beyond ceremonial observance, the occasion reinforces social cohesion and shared purpose. These qualities have supported Viet Nam through periods of change and continue to influence how institutions and businesses operate today. From National Origins to Global Trade Networks In today’s environment–where trade flows and logistics networks expand across borders–historical values still matter. Discipline, resilience, and adaptability underpin supply chain stability, particularly amid disruption. For logistics providers, maintaining consistent cargo movement between Viet Nam and international markets is not only a commercial function. It is a direct contribution to economic continuity and integration. Reliable routing, proactive planning, and operational discipline ensure that businesses remain connected, even during holiday periods. Holiday Schedule Announcement – Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day 2026 Vantage Logistics confirms the following holiday schedule: Holiday period: Monday, 27 April 2026 Operations resume: Tuesday, 28 April 2026 During the holiday: Urgent support requests will continue to be received and handled.

For urgent shipments, please contact: Hotline: +84-909-026-261 Email: in**@*****om.vn Standard requests will be prioritised once operations resume on Tuesday, 28 April 2026. Sustaining Supply Chain Continuity As Viet Nam deepens its integration into global trade, maintaining uninterrupted logistics operations becomes increasingly critical. Early planning, reliable partners, and clear communication reduce risk during peak periods and public holidays. Vantage Logistics continues to support clients with tailored routing, capacity planning, and cross-border coordination–ensuring cargo moves as scheduled.
