In 2022, the revenue of Sihanoukville Port increased by 2.45% to US$86 million, while that of Phnom Penh Port also increased by more than 17% to US$40 million, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) on 15 February 

MPWT Minister HE Sun Chanthol said that the growth of the waterway transport sector in these major ports is due to the increase in exports of Cambodian agricultural products, as well as the export of textile and garment products to foreign markets.
