Latest Container Lift-On and Lift-Off Fee Schedule

Principles for Calculating Container Lift-On Fees

The principles for calculating container lift-on fees at Vietnamese ports are generally based on several basic factors, including container type, weight, and cargo type. Below are some general principles applied:

Container Type: Lift-on fees differ between 20-foot and 40-foot containers. 40-foot containers typically have higher fees due to their larger size and weight.

Container Weight: The heavier the container, the higher the lift-on fee. Each port will have specific fee regulations for different cargo weight ranges.

Cargo Type: Special goods, such as hazardous materials or goods requiring special storage conditions (frozen, fragile, etc.), usually have higher lift-on fees than regular goods.

Time and Location of Service:

Lifting fees may vary depending on the time of day (peak or off-peak hours) and the specific location at the port (far or near berth). Some ports apply different fees for different lifting areas within the same port.

Related Services: If additional services are required, such as emergency lifting, working outside of regular business hours, or using special equipment, additional fees will be charged accordingly.

Specific fees are usually clearly stated in the service price list of each port and may change according to port regulations or government policies. Shippers should check the detailed fees at the specific port they will be using to plan their finances accordingly.

– For 20-foot containers: Container lifting fees (Lift on – Lift off) range from approximately VND 1,100,000/container.

– For 40-foot containers: Lift-on and lift-off fees range from approximately 1,350,000 VND per container
