With the goal of helping students understand the document processing workflow in import-export activities, the workshop provided step-by-step guidance from booking, preparing documents and checking bills of lading to the procedures for receiving and delivering goods. In addition, students were also equipped with essential knowledge about the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the transportation chain, including exporters, importers, shipping lines, agents, and forwarders.

In particular, the program featured Ms. Huynh Thi Mai Trang – Head of the Representative Office of Voltrans Logistics Company in Da Nang, who shared valuable insights from her professional experience, especially in document processing and logistics operations. The workshop followed a “learning from reality” approach, allowing students to directly practice with authentic documents such as Booking, Shipping Instruction (SI), Verified Gross Mass (VGM), HBL/MBL, Arrival Notice, Delivery Order, and Customs Declaration. Under the guidance of lecturers and experts, students not only “learn correctly” but also “do it for real”, handle errors themselves, cross-check information between different types of documents, simulate the electronic customs declaration process as well as the delivery of goods at the port.

The workshop not only reinforced students’ professional knowledge but also provided valuable guidance for their career orientation. Through the insights shared by lecturers and experts, students gained a clearer understanding of recruitment requirements, essential skills, and career development opportunities in the rapidly growing logistics sector in Vietnam – particularly in Da Nang, the logistics hub of the Central region.
