Bangkok ready to open CFS bidding
Bangkok Port is preparing to open bidding for a container freight station (CFS), officials have told Port Strategy.
“The Project is now under the TOR (Terms of Reference) drafting process which will be finalised and officially open for bidding (e-auction) within the next one to two months. After the contractor wins the e-auction, the construction shall be started within this year and expected to complete and open in fiscal year 2019,” said an official who asked not to be named.
The CFS, which is priced at THB1.3 billion (£29m), will have the capacity to handle 120,000 teu annually, the official said. “It will enhance Bangkok Port’s performance in terms of a better flow of export cargoes.”
Development will focus on four projects: an export and an import CFS; the 20G Coastal Berth in Terminal 2; and a one-stop service centre.
