Drug control at sea ports

Drug crime activities are becoming complicated in the southern provinces including Ho Chi Minh City, with increasing quantities of drugs found. The seaways are one of the pathways for drug transport because ships allow huge quantities to be transported.

The new situation requires border guards, police, and customs to coordinate and monitor the border to detect drugs as soon as they are brought into Vietnam through roads and seaports. This role includes customs forces at seaports.
