Port will transfer bulk of capacity to Kandal
The Phnom Penh Autonomous Port will transfer 75 per cent of its loading capacity to a new location at Kandal to better handle the increased shipments passing through the capital, according to PPAP officials. The PPAP had received US$68 mill-ion in financing from the Chinese government for a second terminal 25 kilometres east of Phnom Penh, on which construction began last September, PPAP commercial director Eang Veng Sun said. The Kandal facility would handle about 300,000 twenty-foot equivalent units a year, compared with the 70,000 TEUs handled at Phnom Penh, he said.
