Five Star Port or No. 1 Port Overview
Sittwe is a more developed city as other cities in Rakhine State. It is recommended to transport cargo from Yangon to Sittwe by water. Similar to Pathein in Ayeyarwaddy Division (Delta Region), many small ports can be found near Sittwe, but those ports are mostly accessible to small local vessels (up to 500 GRT) only.
There are 2 main ports in Sittwe. The largest one is located in Sittwe downtown within the Myanma Port Authority (MPA) compound, named Five Star gate. The second port is Min Gan port. This port is located far from Sittwe downtown, 20 min by car. Both ports have a maximum draft of 4.6m (15 ft) and are accessible for vessels up to 4000 GRT.
A third port is still under construction by India Investment Corporation. It will be larger as Five Star gate.
Yangon to Siitwe is 895km (560mi) by road, which is a two-day, non-stop drive by express bus. Although sufficient transporters and bus services that offer transport to Sittwe can be found at highway express gates, cargo transport by road to Sittwe is not recommended due to the long distance and steep road crossing the Rakkhine Roma mountain range (Arakan Mountain). Many road accidents happen at Kan Zauk Mountain, between Kyauk Taw Township and Ponna Kyun Township.

Kaladan Multi-modal Transit Transport Project (India Jetty)
Port Overview
The Kaladan project was jointly initiated by India and Myanmar to create a multi-modal platform for cargo shipments from the eastern ports to Myanmar and to the North-eastern parts of India through Myanmar. The Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project connects the eastern Indian seaport of Kolkata with Sittwe seaport. It will then link Sittwe seaport to Paletwa in Chin State via the Kaladan river boat route, and then from Paletwa by road to Mizoram state in Northeast India. Originally, the project was scheduled to be completed by 2014, but is expected to be operational only by 2020-2021 as all components of the project, including Sittwe port and power, river dredging, Paletwa jetty, have been completed, except the under construction Zorinpui-Paletwa Road, construction of which commenced in April 2018. Although this port is mainly used as an India corridor it can be considered for emergency response if the Myanmar Port Authority assists for docking permission.
