Japan has recently agreed a US$300 million loan to develop a new container terminal at the Port of Sihanoukville, Cambodia.
Located in the southwestern province of Preah Sihanouk, in 2021 the port handled 6.9 million tons of containerised cargo, representing a six per cent increase over the previous year.
The project is seen as a major component of works aimed at transforming the Port of Sihanoukville into a principal major deep-sea port for Cambodia. These works will include extensive dredging in order to facilitate access for container vessels of around 4000TEU.
