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.

Port Overview

Thandwe is a city in Rakkhine state. Most people prefer transport of cargo by road because the port is located far from Thandwe downtown. The main wharf of Thandwe port is the Tha Pyu Chain wharf and it is about 43km or 3 hours from Thandwe via a very bad road. (There are several small bridges on the way, some broken down with road diversions).

In addition there is Jade Taw jetty at Ngapali beach near Thandwe town, but this is small and unsuitable for larger cargo vessels. Cargo vessels normally use Tha Pyu Chaing wharf and then the cargo is shipped to Jade Taw by small boats. Jade Taw is 30 minutes from Tha Pyu Chaing by waterway. The draft of Jade Taw port is 3m (10 ft) at high tide and 1.8m (6 ft) at low tide. A third option is a wooden jetty at Kim Hmaw village, about 8km from Thandwe. It has a maximum draft of 2.1m (7 ft), accessible by CB vessel.

Tha Pyu Chaing wharf has two concrete jetties with floating type buoy. The maximum draft is about 6.1m (20 ft) at high tide and 5.5m (18ft) at low tide. Due to access restrictions and lack of daily workers this wharf should be considered only as a back-up option when cargo can’t be transported by road to Thandwe. Myanma Five Star shipping Line used this wharf 10 years ago, but not anymore. Currently it is privatized and used by some fishing businesses. There is no container handling capacity.

The Dawei deep sea port is a special economic development zone which is expected to be operational by 2020. Currently there is no deep sea port yet, only the “small port” which consists of one concrete jetty, planned to be used by feeder vessels from the (river) port of Dawei, after the draft can be deepened from 1m currently to 7.5m planned depth.

The work on the deep sea port hasn’t started yet and it’s not confirmed when it will begin.

There are several port administration buildings, a construction yard and an 18km 2-lane gravel road which stops at the Dawei river. A 150km road is planned to connect the economic development zone to the border of Thailand but still falls short of a bridge across the river Dawei and minimum 40km, as the crow flies, to reach the border across difficult mountainous terrain. The economic development zone is connected by a 20km, 1-lane winding dirt road to nearby Maungmagan and from there by a 13km 2-lane tarmac road to Dawei town.

Contact: Mr. Win Myo Oo, Secretary of the supporting working body of the Dawei deep sea port. (Dec. 2014, the secretaries are rotated every 2 months).

Port Overview

The Port of Yangon is the main port of Myanmar that handles approximately 90% of import and export activities in the country. The average tidal range is around 19 feet (5.85m) at sprint tide and 8.4 feet (2.5m) at neap tide. Waves within the Yangon river normally do not hinder marine operations, even at the river mouth point, wave conditions are rarely rough with less than 2-meter height. Current velocity ranges between 4 to 6 knots during springtime. Pilotage is compulsory for vessels above 200 GRT. Navigation is provided from the offshore fixed Pilot station located 20 nautical miles from Yangon, which can handle traffic of around 600 vessels every month. Currently, the port has capacity for vessels of up to 15,000 –20,000 DWT and works are scheduled to increase the port’s capacity for vessels up to 35,000 DWT.

There are two restricted bars along the approached channel:
(1) Inner Bar (near Yangon Port at Monkey Point)
(2) Outer Bar (at the mouth of the River)

Crossing both the inner and outer bar is timed for high tide to allow sufficient depth. Since the channel width at Monkey Point is rather limited at 100 meters, navigation requires close attention.

The Port of Yangon maintain 2 shifts. Day shift is from 08:00 hours to 16:00 hours. Night shift is from 20:00 hours to 04:00 hours. Overtime works is available on request for periods between shift hours. It takes a week to discharge cargo from port since arrive if all require document (such as Shipping documents and government approve letter) are complete. Yangon Port is free from congested, generally. But all port located in Yangon has pros and cons. 

For more information please see 1.3 Myanmar Customs Information. 

Yangon port is divided into two ports. The largest is the Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa, used mostly for RORO ships for transporting cars from nearby automotive factories. This port is located 16 km from Yangon downtown and river bay. It is strategically located next to the Thilawa Special Economic Zone developed by a Japanese Joint-venture company. The International Terminal Thilawa consists of 2 terminals and 6 wharfs and accessible to vessels of 200 m LOA, 20000 DWT, 9 m Draft: The current traffic level at MITT does not pose congestion risk as yet with vacant container yard space available.. However, since MITT is located outside of Yangon, transport cost and longer travel distance Should be expected.

(1)  MITT (Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa)

(2)  MIPL (Myanmar Integrated Port Limited)

The other is the old Yangon port area, which covers 4 terminals and 15 wharfs. Most general cargo vessels use Myanmar Industrial Port (MIP) and Asia World Port terminal (AWP) because they are located close to downtown at 32km from the Yangon river bay. The old Yangon Port area covers the following 4 terminals and 15 wharfs and accessible to vessels of 167m LOA, 9m Draft, 15000 DWT:

(3)  Bo Aung Kyaw Street Wharf (BAK)

(6)  Sule Pagoda Wharf (SPW)

Especially, Pansodan and Botathaung are where passenger transport is the major operation are situated very close to the city area. But Lamadaw handle almost all domestic cargo though cargo handling area is quite narrow.

Further to the above-mentioned ports, there are two dry ports available in Ywar Thar Gyi in Yangon region and Myit Nge in Mandalay region built by Resources Group Logistics Co., Ltd.
