The lessee may sublease part of the leased inland container depot infrastructure to a Vietnamese or foreign organization or individual in accordance with this Decree and shall obtain the lessor’s written approval before effecting the sublease. The sublease of inland container depot infrastructure shall be carried out under a contract, which must not be contrary to the contents of the lease contract signed with the lessor.
