Dry port/icd  (inland container depot)

Savan Logistics is operating in the first Dry Port/ICD (Inland Container Depot) in Savannakhet, Lao P.D.R.

Strategically located in Savannakhet, the state of art Dry Port/ICD  is located at the East – West Corridor, linking Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, mid–way between the nearest Vietnamese sea port of Danang (about 500km) and the Thailand port of Bangkok (about 600km). Spread over an area of 22,000 square meters with all the necessary infrastructure, Savan Logistics and Dry Port/ICD bring you all the advantages for road, ocean and air cargos.

The establishment of an Dry Port/ICD is of vital importance for landlocked countries like Lao P.D.R. wishing to improve their transport services through the introduction of multimodal transport and containerization.
