2.1.1 Cambodia Port of Sihanoukville
Port Overview
Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS) is the main deep-sea port of the Kingdom of Cambodia covering approximately 125 hectares of total land area. PAS, which is the only deep-sea port situated in the Bay of Kampong Som, facilitates maritime transport, thereby obtaining such natural advantages as deep water, a string of islands to protect strong wind and tidal wave, and lies in the location that does not require any regular navigational channels dredging.
PAS, which was built in early 1956, has been expanded consecutively and it has now 12 berths under its management and equipped with state-of-the-art cargo handling equipment. Furthermore, there are three private berths for tankers (Concrete wharf, Sokimex oil port and Tela oil port) in which pilotage services are provided by PAS.
Over the past 5 years (2016-2020), the volume of cargo throughput increased more than 12 percent and in 2020 the volume of cargo throughput reached 6.6 million tons while the number of container throughput was 641,842 TEUs. The port could accommodate general cargo vessels with 50,000 DWT and container vessels of 16,000 DWT with loading capacity approximately 1550 TEUs.

2.1.4 Cambodia Port of Phnom Penh Ts11
Port Overview
Sub-feeder Multipurpose Terminal TS11 is located along the NR5, in Kilometer 6 commune, Russey Keo District, Phnom Penh, which is about 6.6 kilometres or a 20 minutes drive way from the city centre Wat Phnom. It is a strategic area to distribute and collect goods between manufacturers and consumers, as it is located close to the downtown of Phnom Penh city. The development of this terminal will reduce the traffic jam in Phnom Penh City through cutting down the number of trucks as well as contributing to the longevity of roads.

GRAIN AND BULK HANDLING

MAIN STORAGE TERMINAL
Sub-feeder Multipurpose Terminal TS11 has one regular warehouse, located beside the admin building. The size of the warehouse is 2,854m2, and is able to store dry cargoes in various forms.

Stevedoring
Stevedoring at Sub-Feeder Multipurpose Terminal TS11 consists of transferring from the container yard to the ship and vice versa. The whole process involves lifting containers onto the terminal’s truck before transferring them to the quay, where the containers are transferred to a barge via the terminal’s Fixed Cargo Crane.
Hinterland Information
All containers that are transported via Sub-Feeder Multipurpose Terminal TS11 are to be reported to the customs officer in advance. General cargoes are commonly picked up by trucks, ranging from 3 tons to 6 tons in capacity; containerized cargoes are picked up by large trucks suitable for such cargoes but are very restricted during the day time, as the police do not allow day-time traffic of such trucks within the vicinity of the terminal.
Port Security
Sub-feeder Multipurpose Terminal TS11 has security guards to patrol the terminal 24/7 to ensure safety of the cargoes within the terminal. Additionally, the terminal has installed various safety measures such as fire extinguisher, both portable and fixed (at the bridge), and security cameras which oversee critical areas. The terminal also minimizes the use of human labour during operations, and resort virtually to machineries by using spreaders to hook containers instead of having labourers manually climbing onto a container, which may pose risks to both the persons and the cargo per se. Nonetheless, it should be noted that in the past, scoundrels (pirates) would swim or ride their boats and trespass the terminal from the waterway; this problem is now minimized as a security guard is appointed to the quay to keep close eye on the aforementioned people.
