HO CHI MINH, Viet Nam - March 14, 2017 - PRLog -- Let's step in the future of Rail Transport with Transport Infrastructure Outlook – Vietnam 2017 conference

The Vietnamese railway network has a total length of 2,600 kilometres, dominated by the 1,726 kilometres (1,072) single track North–South Railway running between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam set itself in becoming an industrialized country by 2020 and has plans to invest US$ 400 billion in infrastructure, half of which will be privately funded. Under the urban transportation master plan adopted by the city, five metro lines are due to be built by 2030. As of mid-2016, there were 68 BOT projects formulated under the management of the Ministry of Transportation (MOT) in the road, highway, airport, canal and railway sectors. The up-coming project pipeline amounts to US$ 176 billion, with rail projects dominating the portfolio.

The special feature of this project is the variety of the rail transport operations that Vietnam Railways has to carry out on a daily basis. For easy and convenient transportation, government is planning to develop Passenger Rail for the public. Rail transportation will not only save time but will be easier and safer. The national railway network will be further expanded to connect to major sea ports as well as industrial zones. For regions like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the rail network is set to account for at least 30% of passenger transport.

The Transport Infrastructure Outlook – Vietnam (Southeast Asia) 2017 will focus on the Current and Proposed Developments happening in the Region and Cater to the Policy as well as Regulatory Affairs. Funding Requirements and Technological Advancements in the sector will also be a major topic that will be discussed. Current Rail project will also be discussed in the conference with a few Case Studies and presentations. The Transport Infrastructure Outlook – Vietnam 2017 would provide a glimpse into the industry from global and local perspective. It would be a platform used for networking opportunities and knowledge sharing activities to broaden your reach in the industry.
