At Hung Yen Warehouse, students were introduced to VSICO’s nearly 20-year development journey, evolving from a maritime transport company into a multimodal logistics provider. Discussions focused on supply chain operations, warehouse optimization, and practical logistics management.

Learning about Logistics

Practical knowledge sharing at the warehouse facility.

At VSICO Hai Phong Port, students gained deeper insights into modern logistics operations, particularly the application of technologies such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), real-time shipment tracking, and operational cost optimization. Industry experts also highlighted key challenges in the sector, including fuel price fluctuations, delivery time pressures, and increasing demands from international clients.

Interactive discussions between students and company representatives helped bridge the gap between theory and practice, while also opening up new research and application directions in logistics and international business.

Collaboration and Appreciation

Following the trip, students will continue to integrate their academic knowledge with practical experience to complete their individual internship reports.

This field trip not only enhances training quality but also strengthens the connection between academia and industry. At the end of the program, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Thi Minh Ngoc expressed sincere appreciation to VSICO’s leadership and staff. The School looks forward to continued collaboration with VSICO in practice-oriented training initiatives in the future.
