CARIMEX operates a 20,000 m² container yard in Nhon Trach, Dong Nai — paved throughout with M300 concrete, rated for stacked containers and for dedicated handling equipment working all year round.
Manufacturers in the Nhon Trach industrial parks keep running into the same problem: the container arrives before the warehouse is ready, or the cargo is stuffed but the port cut-off is still hours away. Leaving the box at the port racks up storage charges; keeping it on the factory grounds takes up space, and not every surface can carry the load.
CARIMEX closes that gap with its own 20,000 m² container yard right in Nhon Trach — a few kilometres from the district's industrial parks and roughly 5–15 km from Phuoc An port. The yard runs alongside CARIMEX's own tractor fleet, so storage and transport are handled by one provider rather than coordinated across two.
Yard address: 25C Nguyen Ai Quoc, Nhon Trach, Dong Nai. The operations team works from an office inside the yard itself — not coordinating remotely from head office — and takes gate orders 24/7: +84 933 968 988.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Yard area | 20,000 m² (2 hectares) |
| Pavement structure | M300 concrete across the entire yard surface — equivalent to strength class B22.5 (TCVN 5574) |
| Location | 25C Nguyen Ai Quoc, Nhon Trach, Dong Nai — within the Nhon Trach industrial park area |
| Handling equipment | 2 dedicated container handlers stationed at the yard — if one is under maintenance the other keeps working, so orders do not stall |
| Indicative capacity | ~500–550 forty-foot containers (about 1,000–1,100 TEU) stacked four high — a planning figure that varies with the actual layout |
| Vehicles on site | 50 tractor units with semi-trailers and 20 trucks staged inside the yard |
| Operations | The operations team's office sits inside the yard (separate from the company head office), clearing orders the same day |
| Container types accepted | Laden and empty containers: 20' DC, 40' DC, 40' HC, 45' HC |

From container storage to empty drop-off, devanning, stuffing and tractor parking
Storage for laden and empty containers when the warehouse is not ready to receive, while waiting for a vessel schedule, or when delivery needs to be spread out.
Dropping empties after devanning, holding boxes until the shipping line's return slot, and transfers between the Nhon Trach yard and regional ports, ICDs and depots.
Devanning from container to pallet, stuffing from pallet into container, cross-loading between two vehicles, with tallying and condition photographs.
Parking for tractor units, semi-trailers and trucks belonging to transport operators in the area, on load-bearing concrete, with security on duty.
When comparing container yards, businesses usually ask only about area and price. But what decides whether a yard holds up over the years is its pavement structure, because a container's weight is not spread evenly across the surface — it bears down entirely on the four corner castings. A fully loaded forty-foot container can weigh over 30 tonnes; stacked several tiers high, the pressure at each corner is enormous and concentrated on an area of just a few dozen square centimetres.
M300 concrete has a 28-day cube compressive strength of about 300 kg/cm², equivalent to compressive strength class B22.5 under TCVN 5574. It is the grade normally specified for heavy-duty pavements and yards — enough to carry the concentrated load of stacked containers and to take a reach stacker moving over it continuously.
| Pavement Structure | Takes Stacked Containers | In the Rainy Season | Common Failure Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fill earth / crushed stone | Limited, usually one tier only | Muddy, standing water | Local settlement, containers tilting, handlers bogging down |
| Asphalt | Poor under long-standing static load | Stable | Rutting, and indentation at the corner casting points in hot weather |
| Low-grade concrete (below M250) | Moderate | Stable | Surface cracking and edge spalling at the container corner positions |
| M300 concrete (M300 / B22.5) | Good — carries the concentrated load of stacked containers | Stable, drains well | Suited to long-term container yard operation |
The comparison is general reference material on yard pavement structures. The number of tiers actually stacked also depends on the container type, the weight of the cargo inside and the handling equipment in use.
In most of these situations, storage is only one link. If the shipment also needs customs clearance, an FCL or LCL ocean booking, or trucks for final-mile delivery after devanning, CARIMEX can handle the whole chain under a single contract.
CARIMEX does not publish a single fixed rate, because storage cost depends on how the yard is used. The main factors:
The most effective way to cut cost is not to squeeze the storage rate but to put storage and trucking with the same provider: when one company both holds the container and hauls it, empty running and waiting time fall markedly — see also container trucking in Nhon Trach.

What businesses ask before signing a yard rental contract
The yard covers 20,000 m² (2 hectares) in Nhon Trach, Dong Nai, paved throughout with M300 concrete. It has 2 dedicated container handlers, an operations team working from an office inside the yard itself (separate from the company head office), and 50 tractor units and 20 trucks staged on site to clear gate orders the same day.
Indicative planning capacity is about 500–550 forty-foot containers, equivalent to 1,000–1,100 TEU, stacked four high. The working: from 20,000 m², deduct about 15% for the operations building, gate, tractor turning area and main lanes, leaving roughly 17,000 m² of stacking area. With blocks three rows deep and a handler aisle of about 16 m, each forty-foot ground slot takes about 103 m² once its share of the aisle is counted — giving roughly 165 ground slots. Times four tiers is 660 positions; after allowing for the empty slots needed to reshuffle tiers, about 500–550 positions remain in practical use. The exact figure shifts with the mix of laden and empty boxes, the container types and the layout at the time.
M300 concrete has a 28-day cube compressive strength of about 300 kg/cm², equivalent to compressive strength class B22.5 under TCVN 5574. For a container yard this is the necessary threshold, because the load is not spread evenly but concentrated on the container's four corner castings: a fully loaded forty-foot container can weigh over 30 tonnes, and stacked several tiers high the pressure at each corner is severe. M300 carries that concentrated load and takes a reach stacker running over it continuously — no rutting, and no turning to mud in the rainy season the way an earth or crushed-stone yard does.
Yes. The yard takes both laden and empty containers. CARIMEX handles empty drop-off, box storage and transfers between the Nhon Trach yard and the region's ports, ICDs and depots. Dropping empties at a yard near the factory helps a business avoid port storage charges and control when boxes go back to the shipping line.
Storage is normally charged per container per day, with different rates for twenty-foot and forty-foot boxes and for laden versus empty. On top of storage there is a lift-on/lift-off charge each time a container enters or leaves the yard. For loose or palletised cargo, charging is by floor area occupied or per pallet per day. The exact rate depends on volume, expected storage period and any add-on services — CARIMEX quotes an all-in price for each case.
Indicative one-way distances: about 5–15 km to Phuoc An port, 25–40 km to Cat Lai in Ho Chi Minh City, 30–45 km to ICD Long Binh and 55–75 km to the Cai Mep – Thi Vai port cluster. That position allows containers to move from yard to port within the day and lets storage and trucking sit with one provider.
Yes. The yard has handling equipment and working space, so cargo can be devanned from container to pallet, stuffed from pallet into container, or cross-loaded between two vehicles. This suits cases where the customer's warehouse is not ready to receive, where a consignment must be split across several delivery points, or where goods need tallying and condition photographs before going into store.
