He confirmed that the construction of the river-based port is being undertaken in cooperation between the private sector and PPAP. The construction budget is from the private sector and the land for construction is from the PPAP.

“Cost may be different, around US$10 million, the cost in some places is more than US$10 million, in some places, the cost may be less than US$10 million, depending on the geographical condition,” he said.

HE Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Works and Transport, said on Monday that the river-based ports along the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers are built to facilitate the transportation of products from the provinces to the port of Phnom Penh for export.

According to HE Sun Chanthol, those river-based ports will be built at Tonle Bit, Koh Roka, Prek Tamak, Kampong Chhnang and Chhlong.
