2.1.3. Advantages and disadvantages

2.1.3.1. Advantages

In recent years, the world economy has witnessed strong changes. The commodity economy has developed, goods are increasingly produced and consumed strongly, along with increasing specialization, increasing exchange of goods, leading to the need for freight transport growing not only within the territory of a country, in the region but also worldwide.

Vietnam is one of the few countries that is blessed by nature with a long coastline from North to South. Together with the current open-door policy of the Party, the State and localities are very favorable factors for the construction of a maritime industry with the function of not only serving the needs of economic and social development and ensuring national security and defense but also participating in providing services for maritime activities. The Vietnamese maritime industry has accumulated a number of facilities, means, technical labor and initial management and business operation experience, which are very valuable to enter a new stage of development in the direction of "specialization - modernization".

Implementing the provincial, district and local marine economic development program, focusing on maritime transport as a sector that creates many jobs and brings high income to workers. Hai Phong City leaders also have strong investment strategies for the transport and shipbuilding industry.

The company was established in 2013, the director is a veteran in the shipping industry, the company members are people working in shipping with many years of experience in production and actual seafaring.

Exploiting the transportation of goods by sea using the means of transport as ships with the main input fuel being DO and LO fuel oil available on the market at any port in Vietnam and internationally. Fuel prices in Vietnam are currently being stabilized by the government through import tax, so the ability to stabilize prices is very large, creating favorable conditions for businesses to balance revenue and expenditure and make business and production plans.

Marine equipment is specialized equipment for harsh working environments so it rarely breaks down.

Vietnam's seaports are suitable for medium-sized ships and are spread across the length of the territory.

Domestic labor is abundant and not of high value.

2.1.3.2. Difficulties

The maritime industry is a special economic sector, the main products are services, which are highly dependent on market fluctuations as well as natural risks. On the other hand, technical facilities always require a large amount of capital investment, but the payback period is often longer than other service industries.

Regarding service exploitation and business: The general trend of large enterprises is to organize a full-package business, which means organizing separate service enterprises such as transportation, loading and unloading, and delivery to serve themselves and compete to attract customers. The formation of large corporations along with the massive development of transportation business organizations has gradually narrowed the market and made competition increasingly fierce. This is the biggest difficulty of service enterprises, causing some enterprises to lose jobs or operate at a loss.

Regarding labor: Domestic labor resources are abundant but there is still a lack of specialized and highly skilled workers, the ability to meet work requirements is limited, and labor discipline is still low.

Economic policies are volatile, investment capital is limited, banks are tightening loans, and inflation is increasing, causing difficulties for the maritime transport and shipbuilding industries. Enterprises have difficulty accessing loans to do business and expand production and business. Although the government and specialized management agencies have paid attention to removing some obstacles in policy mechanisms, there is still no appropriate preferential protection regime for the maritime industry as some other countries do.

2.2. Analysis of the financial situation of Thanh Dat Maritime Transport Trading Company Limited

Financial Analysis of Thanh Dat Shipping Trading Company Limited

(Source: Financial report 2016 - 2018)


Student: Nguyen Thi Quynh Anh 34 Class: QT1801T


Comment:

Through the analysis table above, we see that the company's total assets in 2017 increased.

283,088 million VND compared to 2016 (up 66.9%); 2018 was 695,991 million VND, down 10,009 million VND, corresponding to a decrease of 1.4% compared to 2017.

Short-term assets in 2017 increased by VND 48,196 million (up 46.5%) compared to 2016; in 2018, it increased by VND 10,082 million (up 6.6%) compared to 2017. Long-term assets in 2017 increased by VND 234,892 million (up 73.6%) compared to 2016; in 2018, it decreased by VND 20,091 million compared to 2017, corresponding to a decrease of 3.6%.

The above data shows that the change in total assets is mainly due to the increase in the value of current assets each year. The increase in current assets is a good sign. The increase in current assets is mainly due to receivables, specifically:

- Receivables in 2017 decreased by 3,293 million VND compared to 2016 (down 9.7%), in 2018 increased by 7,786 million VND (equivalent to 25.5%) compared to 2017, so the company's receivables have not been consistent over the years. Receivables in 2018 increased due to receivables from customers increasing by 11,104 million VND (up 52.8%), prepayments to sellers also increased by 458 million VND (equivalent to 24.9%), and other receivables decreased by 3,776 million VND (down 49%) compared to 2017. The data shows that receivables from customers increased sharply, maybe the company has let customers owe money and debt collection has not been effective. The company needs to take measures to improve debt collection ability.

- In addition, the company's cash capital in 2017 was VND 66,841 million (an increase of VND 27,983 million, equivalent to 72%) compared to 2016, and in 2018 it decreased by VND 5,044 million (equivalent to a decrease of 7.5%) compared to 2017. Cash capital in 2018 decreased slightly due to an increase in receivables, specifically a sudden increase in receivables from customers in 2018.

- The balance sheet shows that the company's inventory in 2017 increased by 6,097 million VND compared to 2016 (equivalent to an increase of 20.6%), and continued to increase by 8,691 million VND (an increase of 24.3%) compared to 2017. Inventory management is extremely important in the production and business activities of the company, a shortage or surplus in inventory proves the expense in the organization and operation. Through the data, we can see that the company has not done well in releasing inventory over the years, this is not


beneficial for businesses because it will increase inventory management costs, as well as prolong production time and distribution of goods, causing costs. But it is also impossible to cause a shortage of inventory, which may not meet market demand. In terms of both value and proportion, inventory demand has been increasing over the past 3 years.

In addition, the company's long-term assets have changed over the years. Long-term assets increased by VND 234,892 million in 2017 (equivalent to 73.6%), but in 2018, long-term assets decreased by VND 20,091 million compared to 2017 (down 3.6%). The value of long-term assets is mainly affected by the increase in fixed assets and long-term financial investments. Specifically, fixed assets in 2017 increased by VND 209,194 million (up 69.2%) compared to 2016; In 2018, the value of long-term assets was VND 533,980 million, a decrease of VND 20,091 million (equivalent to 3.6%) compared to 2017. The company invested in fixed assets in investing in the transport fleet, architectural structures as well as purchasing and repairing other machinery and equipment.

However, horizontal analysis of assets only shows us the fluctuations of indicators over the years without seeing the increase or decrease in the proportion of indicators in total assets. Therefore, to analyze the asset structure more thoroughly, we need to analyze the asset structure vertically.

Chart 2.1: Asset Fluctuation over Time

Comment:

Through the above analysis table, we can see that in the total assets of the company, short-term assets account for a smaller proportion than long-term assets. Specifically, in 2016, short-term assets accounted for 24.5%, long-term assets accounted for 75.5% of total assets; in 2017, short-term assets accounted for 21.5%, long-term assets accounted for 78.5% of total assets; in 2018, short-term assets accounted for 23.3%, long-term assets accounted for 76.7% of total assets. It can be seen that short-term assets in 2018 increased compared to both 2016 and 2017, increasing quite evenly but the growth rate was relatively slow and long-term assets, although decreasing, still accounted for a large proportion of total assets. This is reasonable for a shipping company like Thanh Dat Shipping and Trading Company Limited, which always has to invest in ships, as well as increase maintenance and repair activities of machinery, equipment, and old transport vehicles to improve the company's operational capacity.

In current assets:

- Cash capital accounts for the largest proportion of short-term assets. In 2016, it accounted for 9.2% of total assets, in 2017, it accounted for 9.5% of total assets and decreased to 8.9% of total assets in 2018. Because the company operates in the field of maritime transport, it needs a certain amount of available money to be able to respond promptly when incidents occur to the ports, factories, equipment and also to reserve for its payment activities.

- Short-term receivables also account for a significant portion of short-term assets. In 2016, receivables accounted for 8% of total assets, in 2017
