Cambodia on Monday started the construction of a new container terminal at the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, aiming to transform this feeder port into the hub port by 2029.
At a groundbreaking ceremony held here, Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen said the port development will respond to the kingdom’s economic growth and rising international trade.
“The expansion project will allow large container ships to dock at the port and significantly reduce ocean freight costs for Cambodia,” he said. “It will help attract investors and accelerate our economic development.”—Xinhua
