Cambodia’s largest Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (SAP) Saturday
reported that it earned the total revenues of about US$14-M in the 1st 5
months of this year, + 14 rise from US$12.3-M at the same period last
year.
The port’s report showed that from January to May this year, the port
had received some 100,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units, TEUs or
standard-sized containers, + 8% compared with the same period last year.
Goods exported through the port are mostly garment products and
agricultural products including rice, rubber and cassava, whilst
imported products include construction materials, agricultural
machinery, petroleum, vehicles, coal, and garment raw materials.
Lou Kim Chhun, the SAP’s director general, said the increase in
shipments and revenues was thanks to growing business activities,
especially in the fields of garments, rice, rubber, and cassava.
SAP, situated some 230 kilometers southwest of the capital Phnom
Penh, is the main economic path between Cambodia and the World. The
state-owned port is going to list in the Cambodia Securities Exchange
later this year.
During the period, Phnom Penh Autonomous Port, the Kingdom’s 2nd
largest port, said that it received 31,000 TEUs, + 11% compared to the
same period last year.
