The Phnom Penh Autonomous Port (PPAP) has proudly unveiled three state-of-the-art multi-purpose satellite terminals. The strategic locations of these terminals include TS11 in Phnom Penh, UM2 in Tbong Khmum province, and LM26 in Prey Veng province. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by HE Peng Po, Minister of Public Works and Transport, on 12 January 2023.

The TS11 Multi-Purpose Satellite Terminal, nestled in Sangkat Kilometre 6, Khan Russey Keo, Phnom Penh, covers an expansive 4 hectares and is established in collaboration with PTLS Cooperation Co., Ltd. This cutting-edge facility is designed to efficiently handle the transfer, loading, and unloading of a myriad of cargo, including construction materials, steel, marble, and cassava.

In Tbong Khmum province, the UM2 Multi-Purpose Satellite Terminal, situated in Daun Mao Leu village, Tonle Bit commune, and spanning 16.3 hectares, is a collaborative venture between IEAT and PTLS Cooperation Co., Ltd. The UM2 Terminal is poised to become a pivotal hub for the seamless transfer, loading, and unloading of containers, catering to a diverse array of goods such as construction materials, animal feed, pillars, concrete, steel, rubber, rice, and other agricultural products.

Completing this trio of cutting-edge terminals is the LM26 Multi-Purpose Satellite Terminal, positioned in Koh Roka commune, Peam Chor district, Prey Veng province. Covering an extensive 18.6 hectares, LM26, funded through direct investment sources, is equipped to handle the transfer, loading, and unloading of containers carrying construction materials, coal, and agricultural products like rice, corn, cassava, rubber, and pepper.

Minister Peng Po emphasized the collaborative efforts between the Ministry of Public Works and Transport and the Ministry of Economy and Finance in formulating a comprehensive master plan and development framework. This framework aims to elevate river port business management and integrate water transport networks, connecting rivers with sea routes and establishing priority business centers for port operations.

Under the coordination of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport actively engages in studying and planning the Port Development Master and Logistics Centre in Sihanoukville. These initiatives collectively propel Cambodia’s port sector towards unparalleled development, cementing its position as a regional leader in maritime connectivity.
