In a remarkable achievement for Cambodia, Sihanoukville Port has reached a milestone that underscores its growing significance as a regional logistics hub. The port reported container traffic soaring to an impressive 1,000,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) this year, marking a 29% increase from the previous year. This record high was announced on the official website of Sihanoukville Autonomous Port on December 21, 2024.

This tremendous surge in container traffic highlights the port’s critical role in facilitating international trade and signals robust economic activity nationwide. As Cambodia’s primary deep-sea port, Sihanoukville is pivotal in bolstering the nation’s trade relationships and attracting investment.

The Director General of Sihanoukville Autonomous Port credited this significant uptick to enhanced business capacity and a favourable investment climate in Cambodia. “Our growth reflects the concerted efforts to improve infrastructure and promote Cambodia as a competitive player in the global market,” he stated.

As the nation continues to expand its economic footprint, the strategic importance of Sihanoukville Port will only increase, potentially positioning Cambodia as a key player in Southeast Asia’s trade dynamics. With ongoing developments to further enhance operational efficiency, all eyes are on Sihanoukville as it charts its path toward a thriving economic future.
