Abstract: Dry ports are intermodal transport hubs in the inland, which operate as centres for the transshipment of sea cargo to inland destinations. They could make the import and export easier and increase trade. This paper considers conditions to construct them in the Indochina area including three countries Vietnam, Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos) and Cambodia. Accordingly, the general characteristics of dry ports and the conditions to develop them are reviewed. Transportation systems in the Indochina area are then analysed. Consequently, a suggested dry port system is presented, which promises to bring many benefits for the Indochina region. Finally, some conclusions and suggestions are presented.
