Vietnam has become one of the world's fastest-growing freight markets. Exports hit a record of around USD 475 billion in 2025, up 17%, led by electronics as manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Intel and Foxconn deepen their factories there. Mordor Intelligence estimates the freight and logistics market at about USD 52 billion in 2025. The ports are scaling to match: Saigon Newport's system handled nearly 11.4 million TEUs in 2025, more than half of the national total, while Hai Phong Port became the first in northern Vietnam to pass 2 million TEUs in a year and new deep-water berths came online at Lach Huyen. The best logistics companies in Vietnam combine state-linked port operators, listed local groups, home-grown forwarders and the global players building out capacity. This 2026 guide profiles ten providers with the strongest footprint in the country, listed in no particular order, drawn from public reporting, company disclosures and industry coverage.
How we chose this list
This is an editorial guide, compiled from public sources such as annual reports, exchange filings, press releases and trade media, rather than from paid placements or our own directory data. We weighed four things:
- Scale in Vietnam: revenue, terminals, warehouse footprint and network based in the country.
- Breadth of services: port handling, forwarding, contract logistics, cold chain and express delivery.
- Track record: years operating in Vietnam and publicly verifiable milestones.
- Network: coverage across north, central and south Vietnam plus international reach.
Figures are the most recent publicly reported at the time of writing. The companies appear in no particular order. A provider further down the page may well be the better fit for your specific lane or cargo type.

Best for: ocean-freight-centric supply chains wanting carrier, bonded warehousing and terminal capacity together.
How to choose between them
The right provider depends less on overall size than on fit with your cargo and lane:
- International ocean freight: the terminals belong to SNP, Gemadept and the carriers; forwarders like Bee, ITL, Kuehne+Nagel and Maersk quote door-to-door.
- Air freight: DHL and ITL bring capacity out of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.
- Parcels and e-commerce: Viettel Post and GHN own the last mile.
- Bonded and cold chain warehousing: Transimex, ITL and Maersk lead here.
Whoever you shortlist, get more than one quote, because rates for the same lane can vary widely, and confirm licences, insurance coverage and references for your specific cargo type. Our guide to the best websites to find a freight forwarder covers how to run that comparison.
Compare Vietnamese logistics providers in one place
The ten companies above are the biggest names, but they are not always the best-priced option for a specific shipment. Vietnam has hundreds of capable independent forwarders competing on exactly your lane. CargoLinked's directory lists more than 800 logistics companies and freight forwarders based in Vietnam, which you can browse by service and by city, including Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Hai Phong. If you have cargo to move, you can also post your shipment for free and collect quotes from interested forwarders instead of contacting providers one by one.
