The shipping industry in Cambodia
With a GDP of close to $25 billion, Cambodia has several international trading partner countries. As a result, the shipping industry is also growing steadily. The main operational port is the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port. There are certain smaller river ports in Phnom Penh and some other locations.
The government of Cambodia is eager to provide a positive thrust to the country’s shipping activity and increase international trade. With this aim, it is building newer ports in Kep, Kampot, and Koh Kong. Once these are fully operational, it will be a positive push to the country’s shipping industry.
