Kep railway station provides large-capacity warehousing and cargo handling services. In 2025, cargo throughput at the station exceeded 60,000 tonnes. Operators aim to increase that volume by 2.5 times in 2026, as demand for rail freight continues to rise. Goods handled at the station are transported domestically, exported to China, or transited through China to third countries including Russia, Mongolia and several European nations.

To meet growing transport needs, Vietnam Railways Corporation is investing in upgrades at the station, including more than 1,500 square metres of renovated warehouse space and over 10,000 square metres of cargo yards. The expanded facilities are expected to come into operation in May 2026.

Cargo handled at the station in the first days of 2026 is estimated at nearly 2,000 tonnes. In the photo: A truck driver takes photos and reports to the company owner as cargo leaves the yard.
