2 Myanmar Logistics Infrastructure
Myanmar Logistics Infrastructure
The following sections contain information regarding the logistics infrastructure of Myanmar
Myanmar’s domestic and international connectivity are inadequate for its logistics requirements for the production of goods and the movement of people. Transport links to neighbouring countries are both limited and substandard. In the World Bank’s 2014 Logistics performance index, Myanmar scored the lowest among Southeast Asian countries in overall logistics performance and quality of trade- and transport-related infrastructure.
Roads
Among ASEAN countries, Myanmar’s roads are the most underdeveloped. Although the road network expanded to 148,690 km (92,392 mi) as of March 2012 from 90,713km in 2004, road density remains among the lowest in the region. Only 39% (57,840 km) of the network is paved and 61% (90,850 km) unpaved, with the secondary and local road network generally in poor condition and not passable during the monsoon season. The government of Myanmar has two ministries controlling transportation: Ministry of Rail Transportation and the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Construction is responsible for construction and maintenance of roads, bridges and airports. Only 26% of roads (39,083 km) fall under responsibility of the Ministry of Construction.
The main highways are:
- 1 – 1577 km : Runs from Myawadi (Thai border)-Thaton-Payagyi-Nay Pyi Taw-Meiktila-Mandalay-Gangaw-Kale-Tamu (India border) (AH-1).
- 2 – 804 km: Runs from Tachileik (Thai border)-Keng Tung-Taunggyi-Meiktila-Mandalay-Gangaw-Kale-Tamu (India border) (AH-2).
- 3 – 90 km; Runs from AH-2 at Keng Tung-Mongla (PR China border) (AH-3).
- 4 – 460 km: Runs from Mandalay-Lashio-Muse (PR China border) (AH-14).
- 5 – 250 km: Runs from Thaton-Mawlamyine-Dawei-Myeik-Kawthaung (AH-112).
- 6 – 196 km: Runs from Yangon-Kyaunggon-Pathein (Western Union Highway).
- 7 – 279km: Runs from Yangon-Tharrawaddy-Pyay (Route 2).
- 8 – 134 km: Runs from Dawei-Sinbhyudaing (Tikee) (to Thai border) (AH-123).
There is one expressway, the Yangon-Mandalay expressway, featuring a double carriageway and four lanes on its entire length of 587km. The government has plans to privatize 82 roads and there is on going privatization of road construction and maintenance. The first phase of a 3,200km highway connecting India, Myanmar and Thailand, the India-Myanmar friendship highway is set to complete by 2016 connecting Guwahati in India to Mandalay in Myanmar.
Ports and inland waterways
Upgrading and rehabilitation is required. For the most part, navigational aids and safety equipment are outdated and need to be modernized. There are nine maritime (sea) ports in Myanmar that fall under the Myanmar Port Authority, from North to South:
- Rakhine state: Sittwe, Kyaukphyu, Thandwe
- Ayeryarwaddy Division: Pathein port
- Yangon Division: Yangon Ports (Asia World Port, Myanmar Industrial Port, Bo Aung Kyaw Port)
- Mon State: Mawlamyine
- Tanitharyi region: Dawei, Myeik, Kawthoung
Freight volume in maritime ports was 22m MT in 2012, with most of the freight being handled in the Ports of Yangon (Myanmar Industrial Port, Asia World Port, Bo Aung Kyaw Port). Except Yangon and Kyauk Phyu (deep water) port, all ports have concrete jetties or metal jetties with barges, no fixed structures and still use simple, non-mechanized handling facilities. The port of Yangon can only handle small ship up to 15,000 dead weight tons (DWT) because it does not have deep-water access close to the city. However, the ports are being upgraded and renovations are to be completed in 2015. Thilawa is the biggest port in Yangon located near the Andaman Sea, this port can accommodate larger vessels up to 20,000 DWT
There is construction on-going of deep-water ports and Kyaukphyu in the North (in association with China) and planned in Dawei in the South (in association with Thailand) in special economic zones. However, the main coastal ports at Thandwe, Pathein, Mawlamyine, Myeik and Kawthoung are deteriorating. The government has identified sites in Kalegauk and Bokpyin for the development of ports. Kyaukphyu deep water port can’t be used for commercial vessels. It is being used by a private Chinese company jointly with Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise.
As of 2008, there were 12,800km (7,954 mi) of rivers of which 6,650km are navigable by commercial vessels. Myanmar’s rivers remain an important mode of transport to remote area’s of the country, as of 2011 4.7m tons of cargo was transported by river. The main river Irrawady runs in the center of the country from north to south. Other rivers are the Kaladan, Chindwin, Paunglaung, Salween and Mekong river on the border with Laos. More then 400 river vessels for passengers and freight are state owned by the Department of Inland Water Transport. Dams for hydroelectric power are being constructed on several rivers and tributaries especially in the North-East of the country.
Railways
The rail network, under responsibility of the Ministry of Rail Transportation and operated by state-owned Myanmar Railways, has nearly doubled since 1988, with a total length of 3,722km in 2014, all 1,000mm gauge. This expansion however been done at the cost of regular maintenance. The core railway infrastructure and locomotives and coaches are in poor condition, which has slowed operating speeds and made rides uncomfortable. There are no rail links to adjacent countries and the status of planned cross-border rail connections to China, India and Thailand, as well as the Thanbyuzayet-Three Pagoda pass connection remains uncertain. In 2011 67.6m passengers and 3.3m tons were transported, using 248 passenger trains/day and 21 freight trains/day. The rail capacity includes 386 locomotives, 1,252 passenger coaches and 3,311 freight wagons.
Under the framework for economic and social reform the government has committed to improve the quality of the Yangon-Mandalay-Myitkyina and the Bago-Mawlamyine section. There are existing plans to build a high speed railway to connect Kunming in Southwest China with Vietnam, Lao PDF and Myanmar respectively. Construction on the section connecting to Myanmar, the Dali-Ruili railway, began in May 2011 and is scheduled to take six year.
Airports
Myanmar has a total of 69 airports, of which 27 are operational airports with commercial flights and paved runways, out of these 11 have runways over 10,000 feet (3248m). There are three international airports, Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw International, with adequate facilities to handle larger jets. A new tender was awarded in Oct 2014 to develop Hanthawaddy International airport in Bago region, about 80km from Yangon and there are plans to develop Dawei airport, in Thanintharyi region, into an International airport. Twenty-six international airlines and nine domestic airlines operate regular flights serving 20 regional destinations.
The domestic airlines are: Air Bagan, Air Kanbawza (KBZ), Air Mandalay, Asian Wings, Golden Myanmar airlines, Mann Yadanarpon Airlines, Myanmar Airways, Myanmar Airways International and Yangon airways, including one charter operator FMI air charter
As of 2012, according to the Department of Civil Aviation, there were 3.5m domestic and 2.0m international passengers transported by air. The volume of airfreight is negligible.

2.1 Myanmar Port Assessment
The main ports of Myanmar can be found in 9 cities: Sittwe, Thandwe, Kyuak Phyu (Rakkhine State), Pathein (Ayeyarwaddy Division), Yangon (Yangon Division), Mawlamyine (Mon State), Dawei, Myeik and Kawthaung (Tanintharyi Division). Most international cargo arrives at Yangon port. The other ports are mostly used for inland transportation and handle much less international cargo. The other ports are also not accessible for large ocean going vessels –only for drafts to 4-5m- and there is no mechanical cargo handling equipment available.

2.1.4 Myanmar Port of Sittwe
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.

2.1.5 Myanmar Port of Rakkhine, Thandwe
Key port information can also be found at: http://www.maritime-database.com/ports/topports.php
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.
Port website: there is no website available.

Tha Pyu Chaing wharf (2 Concrete Jetties with a Floating Buoy)
Description and Contacts of Key Companies
4.2.3 Myanmar Port and Waterways Company Contact List
There are no key companies available for stevedoring, freight forwarding or cargo handling. According to Myanmar Port Authority (MPA), daily laborers are not available at Pyu Chaing wharf for cargo loading and offloading.
Port Performance
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.

2.1.6 Myanmar, Tanintharyi, Dawei Deep Sea Port
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).

2.1.10 Myanmar Port of Yangon
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)
(4) Myanmar Industrial Port (MIP).
(5) Asia World Port Terminal (AWPT)
(6) Sule Pagoda Wharf (SPW)
Regarding the coastal and inland water transport cargo and passenger are handled from downtown domestic terminal such as Lamadaw, Pansodan, and Botathaung. 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. It was officially opened in November 2018 to boost logistics capabilities in country with a rail line operated by Myanma Railways. The dry ports are intended to ease traffic jam between ports in Yangon and Thilawa SEZ and to reduce transportation cost. It is equipped with customs inspections and 24-hour services with freight charges and taxes set by Myanmar Railways. The loop-train service runs on a weekly basis with 15-27 carriages between the 2 ports. Carriage capacity is around 33 metric tons.

Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa (MITT)
Port Overview
MITT is Myanmar’s first purpose-built, multi-purpose international container port. Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), which developed the facilities, has managed MITT since 1998. MITT is located at Thilawa 25 km for downtown Yangon, close to mouth of the Yangon River, and adjacent to the Special Industrial Zone, Thanlyin-Kyauktan. Most container traffic in Myanmar is handled by AWPT and MIP ports, not by MITT, because these ports are located closer to downtown Yangon and businesses active in Bayint Naung Compound, Hlaing Thar Yar Industrial Zone.
MITT is the only port in Myanmar that can handle RORO (Roll-on Roll-off) car carriers.

2.1.11 Myanmar Port of Pyay
Port Overview
The port of Pyay in the Bago region consists of two locations in the centre of Pyay, one mooring point used for general cargo and one used for passengers located close to each other. There is no stable port access point of Pyay due to the narrow passage of Ayeyarwaddy River depending on water level and no stable mooring points at the riverbank. Only construction materials are still handled at a temporary port near the center of Pyay at the riverbank for commercial purpose.
The Inland Waterways and Transport department IWD is responsible management of the port of Pyay, but it has stopped monitoring port operations since July 2013. Since then, there has been no registrations of the number of vessels calls and quantity of cargo handled and there has been no passenger boats operating in the area. For transportation, residents mainly use road transportation. Given the narrow passage and longer delivery period, this port is not recommended for cargo movement. However, in case of emergencies, this can be an option if road transport becomes inaccessible. As the road between Yangon and Pyay is generally in particularly good condition (5 to 6 hours driving time), most of the humanitarian organizations opt for transporting their cargo by road.
The cargo port is in the centre of Pyay and can be accessed by maximum capacity 8 MT 6-wheeler trucks only.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies
There are only a limited number of cargo shipping companies operating in Pyay, mostly for construction materials, and they are all based in Yangon. No detailed information available.
For more information on port contacts, please see the following link: 4.4 Port and Waterways Companies Contact List.
Port Performance
Since 2013 no statistics have been kept on the port performance. The main reason is that the Yangon-Pyay road has been improved and most cargo transport has shifted to trucks.
The minimum draft of the channel from Yangon to Pyay is up to 10.6m (35ft) in the wet season and minimum 1.2m (4ft) in the dry season. During dry season there is a restriction on the maximum amount of cargo allowed due to the shallow draft of the river. There is enough mooring space, there are no bottle necks. No handling equipment is available, loading and unloading takes place with manual labour.
Distance Pyay-Magway: 180 km (11hrs downstream, 19hrs upstream).
Pyay-Yangon: 421 km (26.5 hrs downstream, 44 hrs upstream) via Twante canal.
To go from Yangon to Pyay there are two options:
Option 1: Via Twante canal (124 km length) at Twantay City. Twante Canal is preferred by Inland Water Transport.
Option 2: Via the Hlaing river (98km length) at Nyaungdon city is 26km (1.5 hr/3 hrs) shorter. The Hlaing river is preferred by the private sector, but is more difficult to navigate due to narrow sections with many bends.

2.1.12 Myanmar Port of Aunglan
Port Overview
The port of Aunglan in the Magway Region consists of a gravel ramp for ferries located in the centre of Aunglan and a passenger mooring point close to it. At both locations there are no jetties or berths, vessels moor at the riverbank and use gangways for loading and unloading. Most cargo activity happens across the river at Thayet which can only be reached by ferry from Aunglan. The Ayeyawady Bridge (Thayet-Aunglan) is under construction in Thayet District Magway Region and connects Aunglan Town on the east bank of the river with Thayet Town on the west bank of the river. The bridge has a total length of 2,272.5 meter with 8.5-meter-wide road and a meter wide pedestrian path on both side of the bridge. Waterway clearance beneath the bridge was 130 meters wide and 16 meters high. The bridge is an steel frame arch type with AASHTO HS 25-44 loading capacity. The bridge is one of the important bridges that lie on the economic corridor road that connects Kyaukpyu Special Economic Zone with Shweli (Ruili) passing through Thayet, Aunglan and Nay Pyi Taw.
In terms of cargo movement, this port mostly handles cement and construction materials, while food items and other general supplies are transported by road all year round. The port is also used for passenger vessels. The range of load capacity of the wooden boats operating in the area is between 25 to 100 MT. The port area is generally safe from risk of flash flood or other hazards. The port can be used as one of potential for emergency preparedness/response operation if the road network is inaccessible in case of a large-scale emergency such as earthquake and flooding in the area.
Due to the absence of lighting facility in the port area, cargo operations are strictly only during day time.
The Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River System (DWRIRS) is responsible for daily management of the port of Aunglan and Thayet,
The cotton factory, a site with several warehouses (see Aunglan, storage), has an independent ramp with stairs for cargo ships about 1.8km South of the ferry ramp.

The railway cargo terminal is about 6.7km away from the passenger port, by road through downtown Mandalay, with railway connections to Monywa, Bagan, Yangon and Myitkyina.
From Shwe Kyat Yat Sky port there is quick access for trucks via the primary roads to Mandalay, Monywa and Nay Pyi Taw.
From Semeikhon port there is a 22km new gravel road that leads to a new industrial park development project near Myo Thar. However, access to the nearest tarmac road from Semeikhon is minimum 18.5 km / 1 hour via narrow dirt roads, not suitable for heavy trucks. Until road infrastructure to Semeikhon is improved, this port has no attractive hinterland connection for trucks.

2.1.16 Myanmar Port of Nyaung-U
Port Overview
Nyaung-U in the Mandalay region is close to Pakokku, on the other side of the Ayeyarwaddy river. Most activities in the Nyang-U port relate to passengers movement; about 100 small local boats used for passenger transport and tourist sightseeing (6m long, 20HP engine boats plus larger boats (30m length, 6m width). A privately owned fuel and general cargo port - Latt Htout jetty- is located 24km outside Nyaun-U, which is used for fuel, cement and coal. The private port is restricted for other vessels to use. There is no congestion and no bottlenecks (no waiting time to dock). The port area is accessible by 12-wheeler trucks (20 MT capacity). Based on our recent assessment of the port operating conditions, the port is not particularly suitable for humanitarian operations.

2.1.18 Myanmar Port of Kalewa
Port Overview
The port of of Kalewa consists of a passenger boat ramp located in the center of Kalewa and a general cargo facility located East at the fork of the Chindwin river and the Myitthar river. There are no jetties or berths, vessels moor at the riverbank and use gangways.
Kalewa port is relatively busy with the transport of construction materials and functions as a hub between Monywa, Hommalin, Khamti, Kale, and Tamu. The Myitthar river between Kalewa and Kale is only accessible for 100 MT capacity boats during rainy season (Mid- June to Mid-Nov) as the maximum channel draft in the dry season is only 0.61m (2 ft). There is no port in Kale and boats moor at the riverbank and use gangways for loading and unloading. Since Kalewa and Kale is only 40 km apart and the road network is accessible all year round, general cargo is mainly transported by road from Kalewa to Kale, Tamu, and northern Chin State.
The average draft of the channel from Kalewa to Khanti is 6m deep (20ft) in the wet season and in the dry season it significantly drops to 0.75m (2.5ft). There is enough mooring space and there are no bottle necks. No handling equipment is available, loading and unloading with manual labour. During dry season there is a restriction on the maximum amount of cargo allowed due to the shallow draft of the river. Below is the restriction on the max channel draft in Chindwin river during dry season (15 Nov to 15 May) as stated by the Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River System (DWRIRS);
- Monywa to Kalewa = 1m (3.3 ft)
- Kalewa to Hommalin = 0.91m (3 ft)
- Hommalin to Khamti = 0.76m (2.5 ft)

2.1.20 Myanmar Port of Pakokku
Port Overview
Pakokku port in the Magway Region is close to Nyaung-U Port, on the other side of the Ayeyarwaddy river. Most cargo activity takes place in the Nyang-U Latt Htout Jetty. Pakokku port is mainly used for small local passenger boats (6m long, 20HP engine boats). The port has no jetties or berths, vessels moor at the riverbank and use gangways for loading and unloading. Pakokku port is managed by the Inland Water Transport office in Nyaung-U. There is no congestion and no bottlenecks (no waiting time to dock). However, given its current conditions, most general cargo is transported by road due to shorter lead time (1/3 of waterway transportation). Humanitarian organizations based in Pakokku mainly utilize Monywa port (114 km away) instead of this port for cargo movement.
The channel draft in the dry season is average 2.12m (in Mid-Nov to Mid-May), and above 2,12m in the wet season. In the dry season the maximum draft is 1.3m (4.5ft) and in the wet season a maximum draft of 1.8m (6ft) is allowed. Maximum vessel size that are normally operating in the Ayeyarwaddy are 60mx12m (200ftx40ft) using 200 HP engines.

2.1.21 Myanmar Myitnge Dry Port
Port Overview
Myitnge Dry Port was officially launched in January 2019. The Myitnge Dry Port is located at a strategy location in Myitnge, Amarapura Township, Mandalay. Mandalay is a central transportation hub with inland connection leading to Tamu near India, Muse near China, and Tachileik near Thailand. The Dry Port is 13km away from the Mandalay downtown, 13.8 km away from Mandalay Chanmyathazi airport and 23 km away from Mandalay International airport. Since the Dry Port is located just outside of the downtown area, its operation is less affected by rush hour traffic.
The Dry Port, as an inland intermodal terminal with road and rail connection, was constructed and operated under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) system through the partnership between KM Terminal and Logistics Ltd (a joint-ventured company of Singapore-based Kerry logistics Network Ltd and Myanmar-based Mother Logistics Co. Ltd) and a local company, Resource Group Logistics Co., Ltd. It is part of the November 13 inter-governmental agreements to construct dry ports along Asian railway routes under the auspices of the United Nations’ Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. A total of eight dry ports was planned to be construct in Myanmar under this agreements (in Yangon, Mandalay, Tamu, Muse, Mawlamyine, Bago, Monywa and Pyay). Two of these Dry Ports, Yangon Ywar Thar Gyi Dry Port and Mandalay Myitnge Dry Port, have been completed and are operational currently operational.
Myitnge Dry Port is divided into 2 locations, Plot A and Plot B. Resource Group Logistics Co. Ltd. is operating in Plot A with a total of 34.71 Acres and KM Terminal and Logistics Ltd is operating in Plot B which has 42.67 Acres. Its facilities comprise of Container Freight Station (CFS), General Warehouse, Bonded Warehouse, Container yard (CY), Reefer Plugs, Rail tracks, Empty Depot, Customs clearance area, Customs office, Operator’s office, Parking area and Maintenance workshop. It also offers Freight train cargo services 2 times a week between Mandalay Myitnge Dry Port and Yangon Ywar Thar Gyi Dry Port route using total 27 wagons with max loading capacity at 32 tons / wagon (Wagon Payload Dimension: Max width 8’, height 8’6”, length 40’). 24 wheeler-forty feet tractors with maximum capacity of 30 tons each for the land transportation service that also provide last mile delivery service, door-to-door pick up services, long and short haul deliveries and offers tracking of truck movements.
Since the dry port offers long-term and short-term storage space rental service as well as door to door transportation service, the dry port could be one of a suitable location for humanitarian response in case of a large-scale emergency that takes place in central Myanmar.

Overview
This logistics capacity assessment does not include review of military airports.
Myanmar has three international airports: Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw, of which Yangon has most handling capacity for passengers and cargo. Mandalay and Naypyitaw airport normally don’t handle cargo (except luggage) and have few international flights. There is a limited number of helicopter companies available, who mainly operate for the natural gas and oil industry and avoid to fly cargo at high altitudes in the mountains. Obtaining permission, registration and certification for foreign registered aircraft to operate inside Myanmar for emergencies can be a lengthy and complicated process.

2.2.2 Myanmar Mandalay International Airport
Airport Overview
Mandalay International Airport (MDL), one of three international airports in Myanmar, was opened on Sept 2000. Mandalay International Airport is located 35 km south of Mandalay city, in Tada-U Township. The airport has been designed to handle up to 3 million passengers annually. It has an apron of 610 by 240m (14.64 ha) attached to the terminal building. The terminal building has six bays with boarding bridges of which three can handle Boeing 747-400 aircraft (three for category E and three for category D aircraft) and 11 remote parking stands. There are seven international airlines (Air Asia, Bangkok Airways, China Eastern, SilkAir, Thai airways, Thai Smile, Myanmar Airways Int’l) and seven domestic airlines (Myanmar National Airline, Air KBZ, MANN Yadanarpon airlines, Golden Myanmar Airlines, Air Thanlwin, Asian Wings Airways, Myanmar Airways International) providing regular flights to Mandalay airport. The airport experienced an increase in traffic, especially daily flights from/to China and Bangkok. Domestic passenger traffic through Mandalay has been increasing by 20% every year, while growth in international flights has been growing up to 60% annually. A consortium of Mitsubishi Group and an affiliate from Japan Airlines signed a concession agreement in 2014 with the Myanmar government to operate the airport for 30 years. The joint firm, called MC-Jalux started operations in April 2015 and does the operation, rehabilitation and maintenance of airport facilities, including terminal buildings and runway.
In January 2020, a plan was put in place between Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation and NEC Corporation for the installation and operation of airport surveillance radar (ASR), secondary surveillance radar (SSR) and a multi-sensor data processing system (MSDPS) to increase the efficiency and safety of air traffic control services by October 2020. This is in anticipation of the expansion of economic activities and growing arrivals of international passengers due to the on-going visa requirement relaxation scheme[1]. The equipment will be delivered through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Landing approval for unscheduled international flights has to be normally requested in writing from the Department of Civil Aviation in Yangon 14 days in advance. However, in case of emergencies, the airline carrier may contact the Area Control Center in Mandalay by radio, and they will contact the Department of Civil Aviation in Mandalay to obtain approval. With this fast track process landing approval may be obtained as quick as within 30 minutes.

2.2.9 Myanmar Magway Airport
Airport Overview
The Magway Airport was constructed on 818.82 acres of land. It was opened on 6 June 2003 but was operational only for a few years. Since 2006, no airplane has landed in the region and the airport has been mainly used by the military for training (Magway Airforce Training Center) located on the opposite side of the runway. At the request of the Magway Regional Government, the Ministry of Transport and Communications resumed flight service starting from May 2019. Only Myanmar National Airline is currently operating Yangon-Magway and Magway-Sittwe twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. The runway includes a taxiway. Based on the above assessment, Magway airport is not ideal to be used in humanitarian response operation. Magway itself is generally accessible by road transportation.

2.2.10 Myanmar Pakokku Airport
Airport Overview
This airport is currently not in use. Chartered flights from civilian and government VIP’s also rarely landed at this airport. The airport is located 11km North of town. Condition of the runway is good, condition of the terminal building and control tower is good, although it needs some minor repairs and cleaning.
Following Bagan’s recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the possibility of direct international route to Nyaung-U Airport was raised by international airlines but rejected by Ministry of Transport and Communication considering that Nyaung Oo Airport is closely located to the Bagan archaeological zone. Based on the current planning, Nyaung Oo Airport is not intended to handle international flights. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport and Communication is planning to upgrade Pakokku Airport to an international airport in future since the airport area has enough land space to upgrade.
Since the airport is situated at the center of Myanmar, it could be a suitable location for a humanitarian cargo hub or open space for temporary shelters, in case of a large-scale emergency such as earthquake in Magway region and central Myanmar. If there is a need to use this airport for humanitarian purposes, approval would need to be obtained from the Department of Civil Aviation in Yangon. The largest plane that can be handled is medium-sized 100-seat planes such as EMB-190 / B-717.

2.2.11 Myanmar Nyaung-U Airport
Airport Overview
The airport is located 4.5km southeast of Nyaung-U town in the Mandalay Region. It is the primary air gateway to the ancient sites of Bagan and surrounding areas. The airport is mainly used for tourism and normally no cargo is handled at this airport. There are 7 domestic airlines that fly to Nyaung Oo from/to Yangon, Mandalay, Heho and Thandwe: (Myanmar National Airline, Air KBZ, MANN Yadanarpon Airlines, Golden Myanmar Airlines, Air Thanlwin, Asian Wings Airways, Myanmar Airways International). Condition of the runway is good.
There are no international airlines since this is a regional airport. There are 6 to 7 daily regular flights during the low tourist season and up to about 20 daily flights during the peak tourist season. There is no helipad. The airport area is divided into civilian operations as well as for military purpose under the control of Middle regional command. The largest plane that can be handled are medium-sized 100-seat planes such as EMB-190 / B-717. There is no storage facility at the airport complex, however, there are some potential storage facilities in nearby town of Nyaung-U and Pakokku (Please refer to 2.6 Myanmar Storage Assessment.)
After Bagan’s recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site, direct international flights to Nyaung-U Airport were proposed by International Airlines but the request was rejected by Ministry of Transport and Communication since Nyaung Oo airport is closely located to Bagan archaeological zone and it is not intended to handle international flights. Department of Civil Aviation is carrying out renovation work on airport terminal to enable it to handle more passengers and working on a parallel plan to upgrade the nearby Pakokku Airport, given the available ground space for expansion.

2.2.23 Myanmar Sittwe Airport
Airport Overview
Sittwe Airport started as RAF Station Sittwe, a military airfield in World War II, and was handed over to Department of Civil Aviation by the International Aero Limited Company on 24 July 1947. It was upgraded to 6,000 feet long and 140 feet wide gravel mixed asphalt runway in 1960. The airport building was extended to 220 feet by 60 feet from 120 feet by 60 feet and it was opened on 22 March 2002. A four-foot thick asphalt concrete layer was placed on the 6000 x 150 feet runway, the 525 x 75 feet taxiway and the 600 x 300 feet apron and opened on 20 May 2009 for use of F-28 jets. There are five domestic airlines (Golden Myanmar, Air KBZ, Mann Yadarnarpon, Air Thanlwin and Myanmar National Airlines) providing regular flights to Sittwe airport. There is no specified helipad but landing arrangement can be made at apron area.
The largest plane that can be handled is medium-sized 100-seat planes such as the Airbus A320. It is equipped with night landing facilities such as airfield lighting, approach light and remote-control air ground machines. Sittwe Airport handled around 432,000 passengers in 2019. Some private international airlines for offshore projects had been used at Sittwe since 2004 as a base with one fixed wing and one helicopter. It is feasible to use as a humanitarian hub, however a special arrangement needs to be coordinated with DCA and temporary storage facility options need to be looked at since there is limited storage space and ground handling equipment on the ground.

2.2.24 Myanmar Thandwe Airport
Airport Overview
Thandwe, formerly known as Sandoway, is the largest city in the area and the main gateway to Ngapali Beach. Thandwe Airport has undergone several upgrades in the past. A 500 foot runway extension work at the north portion was completed and the available length (6000 x100 feet) has been operational since August 2010. Another 2000 feet was extended and completed in May 2011 to bring it to 8000 feet. The government planned to expand the runway further to allow international flights and larger commercial planes to land. Currently, it is only able to service ATR 72/500. There are 54 flights on 4 different routes from Thandwe Airport. The most popular routes connect Thandwe to Yangon, Sittwe, Mandalay, and Kyauk Phyu. Better flight connections to international markets is expected to benefit the fisheries industry in the area as the current export practice requires frozen sea products to be shipped to international markets via Yangon.

2.2.25 Myanmar Bhamo Airport
Airport Overview
Bhamo (Banmaw) is a city in the Kachin State in northern Myanmar. Bhamo Airport was built as a Japanese Air Force base in 1942 and was attacked numerous times by Allied forces before being seized in May 1945. Bhamo Airport is in the north east of the country, close to the Chinese border, south of Myitkyina. It is currently operational for civilian use. During the assessment, only one airline company, Myanmar Airways, flies four times per week from Yangon to Bhamo Airport. The flight is scheduled every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday round trip from Yangon to Bhamo via Mandalay and Myitkyina.
Currently the Embraer 190 is the maximum airplane size that can land in Bhamo. Myanmar Airways operates basic cargo handling for passengers’ luggage. There are no special cargo handling equipment available, only five cargo trolleys. Max weight runway 3000 pounds. The airport has a basic CCTV security system in place. A walkthrough metal detector, an X-ray machine for hand-luggage and a Handheld metal detector.
Given the conditions and extremely limited services available at Bhamo Airport, Myitkyina Airport (20 minutes flight time away from Bhamo) is more suitable for humanitarian operations.

2.3 Myanmar Road Network
Overview
Among ASEAN countries, Myanmar’s roads are the most underdeveloped. Although the road network expanded to 148,690 km (92,392 mi) as of March 2012 from 90,713km in 2004, road density remains among the lowest in the region. Only 39% (57,840 km) of the network is paved and 61% (90,850 km) unpaved, with the secondary and local road network generally in poor condition and not passable during the monsoon season. The government of Myanmar has two ministries controlling transportation: Ministry of Rail Transportation and the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Construction is responsible for construction and maintenance of roads, bridges and airports. Only 26% of roads (39,083 km) fall under responsibility of the Ministry of Construction.
All roads are under the management of Ministry of Construction. However, government may engage with private companies on BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) basis. In such case, the responsibility of maintaining the road condition lies with the operator company.
With continuous improvements that have been undertaken on the expansion and upgrade of Myanmar road network, there is a gradual shift of cargo and passenger movement to road transportation as shown by the increasing volume of road transport assets and the diminishing volume of cargo on waterway and railway transportation on certain major routes or domestic corridors where road transport infrastructures have improved and/or arterial road network expansion has taken place.
The entrance of international logistics companies into Myanmar is driven by the economic opportunities that are present in the country. With continuous increase in export and import activities, and importation of larger fleets into the country, there has been reported a steady decrease of freight costs per ton over the last decade as observed on major route of Yangon to Mandalay which accounts for 60-70% of trucking volume in the country.
Transport market remains fragmented with services concentrated among a handful of large companies with limited trickle-down effect to small and medium haulers with older and smaller fleets. This hopefully changes with the arrival international companies and the emergence of local trucking technology-based platform that connects cargo owners with smallholder transport providers. Another key factor that signifies progress is the opportunity offered by allowing more competition in the fuel provision market by offering entrance to foreign fuel providers. This will reform the fuel market towards higher efficiency and ultimately attracts the availability of new, more efficient trucks in the country.
Due to unequal distribution of economic activities across the country, empty backhaul is a common challenge that impedes progress in transport cost reduction since vehicles productivity maximization is therefore limited.
Humanitarian organizations generally transport cargo by road as road network continues to be upgraded, particularly on the main highway line between Yangon and Mandalay, which is the busiest line in the country. In the North and Central Rakkhine, a higher reliance on waterway transportation given challenges on the road due to potential closures due to sporadic flooding or extremely poor conditions.
NB - 1 Since December 2016, there has been a ban on truck access for the Yangon metropolitan area
The ban for heavy trucks from 0600 to 2100 daily is being implemented by the government for the roads listed below in Yangon:
- Strand Road
- Bayintnaung Road
- Lower Minglardon Road
- Danyingone Junction
- Yadanar Road (Shwe Pyi Thar)
- Waizayantar Junction
- Aungzeya Road
- Pearl Road
- Kayaybin Road
- Pyinmabin Road
- No.3 Highway
- Botahtaung Pagoda Road
- Maha Bandoola Bridge
- Shukinnthar Road
- Ayeywarwun Street
- Bago River Street
- Kanaung Minthargyi Road
In terms of general traffic rules, there are a few points to note:
There are twelve types of driving license, including international driving license. To drive passenger city cars (up to 3 tons), B-type license is required. D-type license allows you to drive all types of registered vehicles, except commercial trucks and buses. E-type license allows you to drive all types of registered vehicle, including commercial trucks and buses. For further detailed information in this regard, please visit http://www.rtad.gov.mm.
Myanmar does not have cross-border agreement to allow trucks from neighbouring countries to operate inside Myanmar and vice-versa; and a number of border crossings do not allow vehicles to cross as well. But Thailand border cross gate is slightly improved as cargo trucks are allowed to enter till Myawaddy gate (Myanmar) and Mae Sot gate (Thailand) by registering at the respective gate for a period of one week.

AH-1: The Yangon-Mandalay expressway or Bagan highway is the only expressway in Myanmar featuring a double carriageway and four lanes in good condition on its entire length of 587km. This express way runs from Yangon via Naypyitaw, Meikthila to Mandalay. Trucks are not allowed to use this expressway and must use the old Yangon-Mandalay highway instead, which runs parallel to the Bagan highway. The AH-1 road section between Kale and Tamu has sections 47 bridges with 13 and 24MT weight limit. The condition of the bridges is generally poor.
With improvements made in recent years, the condition of the old Yangon-Mandalay highway is now good. This road is two lanes wide in most places and four lanes in some parts close to Yangon and Mandalay. Private cars rarely use this route because the Bagan highway is shorter, this road is mostly used for cargo traffic.
Route-2: The Yangon-Pyay highway is in good condition.
AH-14: The Road from Mandalay via Lashio to Muse is in acceptable condition. This road was extensively renovated the last ten years to handle the heavy traffic of Myanmar-China border trading. This road now serves as one of the most important trade route in Myanmar.
The Yangon-Pathein highway, or Western Union Highway (196km from East to West) and the Pathein to Magway highway (Pathein-Kyanggon (near)-Oke Shit Pin-Datkon (junction)-Magway) (484km from South-West to North) are both primary roads in good condition.
Apart from these major highways and roads in Central Myanmar, most of the other roads in the coastal regions of Myanmar in the West and South, and in mountainous area’s in the East and North are secondary roads that are in poor conditions. These roads are mostly only one lane wide with a large proportion of unpaved dirt and gravel roads that are often not passable during monsoon season with risk of landslides at various points along the route due to terrain conditions or lack of maintenance. The tarmac surface along these secondary roads is applied manually, resulting in inconsistent, non-durable and of lower quality pavement due to potential poor work standards. Many parts of these secondary roads have cracks and at risk of heavily damaged by passing overloaded / heavy trucks and/or due to exposure to rains and poor drainage. The average speed along these secondary roads is observed to be about 30-40 km/hour for trucks and 4-wheel drive vehicles mainly due those road conditions. These secondary roads are not recommended for city cars.
Traffic density between towns and cities is generally lower across Myanmar compared to its neighboring countries. Narrow bridges where vehicles need to take turn to pass are still commonly found along the coastal roads. Since traffic density in the rural area is low, this is generally not (yet) a problem for cargo traffic.
Road safety remains a risk: speed limits are generally unknown or not applied and high density of motorbikes in towns combined with inexperienced drivers and a general disregard for pedestrians, results in a high incidence of serious accidents (17,451 traffic accidents; 5,184 fatalities with more than 26,000 injuries reported in 2018). Overland travel can be hazardous, particularly in the rainy season (May to October). Roads can become impassable and bridges damaged.

Road Security
Road safety awareness, among both drivers and pedestrians, is very low. Many vehicles, including taxis, are in a poor mechanical state. Although Myanmar drives on the right, most cars are right-hand drive since they were imported from Japan, which makes driving, especially overtaking, hazardous. International Driving Licenses are not recognized in Myanmar. Every driver is required to apply for a Myanmar Driving License at the Department for Road Transport and Administration in Yangon, including diplomatic missions.
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
Main roads in Myanmar have toll-gates with weighbridges where all trucks must be weighed. Weighbridges are not yet present on all routes, in those cases cargo weights are estimated. Myanmar has introduced the axle load limits that are standard in all ASEAN countries and by it is implemented this ASEAN standard.

Road Assessment Overview
Route |
Comments |
---|---|
Route 7, Mandalay to Shwebo | Primary road, double lane smooth tarmac, one single lane bridge, suitable for heavy trucks. Includes large double lane, steel Ayeryarwaddy bridge at Sagaing. |
Shwebo to Kyauk Myaung | Secondary, single lane rough tarmac, suitable for light trucks. Includes large double lane, steel Yadanatheinga bridge over Ayeyarwaddy river at Kyauk Myaung. |
Mandalay-Myitkyinar Highway from Lat Pan Hla junction | Highway, double lane smooth & rough tarmac, suitable for heavy trucks, with busy traffic. |
Route 71 Sagaing to Monywa | Primary road, double lane smooth tarmac, suitable for heavy trucks. |
Monywa to Kalewa via Tongyi | Secondary road about 60% tarmac, the rest is single-lane dirt road over mountainous area (600m climbing), with landslide area’s & large mud-pools during wet season. Unpassable for some periods between June-Mid Nov, depending on the rains. It was designated as AH-1, but this was changed in 2015 to the road North section via Ye-U to Kalewa. The bridge over the Chindwin river to Kalewa had been completed since 2017. |
Monywa to Kalewa via Ye-U | Secondary road part tarmac, part single-lane dirt road with large mud-pools during wet season. Unpassable for some periods between June-Mid Nov, depending on the rains. Since 2015 it is designated as AH-1 and improvement works have taken place in several parts of this route. The new bridge over the Chindwin river to Kalewa was completed in 2017. However, the road section is still under construction and to be completed by 2021. |
Kale to Tamu (AH1) |
Secondary road, double lane tarmac. Constraints are mainly on the 49 single-lane bridges: 29 bridges of 24MT weight limit and approximately 20 sign-posted with a 13MT weight limit. However, 12-wheeler trucks of 27MT gross weight (16MT cargo+11MT truck) cross these bridges regularly. It is designated as AH1 because Tamu is the border crossing to India. However due to the high number of single lane bridges it falls short to qualify as a primary road. The only alternative route to Tamu is via boat service along the Chindwin river from Kale to Ton He (8hrs, 16MT max per boat) and from Ton He by dirt & tarmac road to Tamu (4hrs / 88km). There is a security concern in the area North of Tamu due to armed groups movement which may affect access and security in the area. |
Kale to Pakokku | Via Gangaw, Pale, Myaing rd.,Yesagyo road, secondary road, single lane rough tarmac: need to yield to trucks. Crossing two mountains (Pon & Pon Nyar) of 900m altitude with steep roads and switchbacks. One river crossing with a damaged concrete and one bridge with railroad are two potential bottlenecks. Suitable for heavy trucks. |
Pakokku to Bagan | via Pakokku-Ayeryawaddy bridge. Secondary road, double lane smooth tarmac. Suitable for heavy trucks. No constraints. |
Nyaung-U to Semeikhon port | via Myingyan, until Nabuauing: Secondary road, double lane smooth tarmac. Suitable for heavy trucks. No constraints. From Nabuaing village to Semeikhon port (18.4km/1 hr): narrow dirt road, possibility of mud-pools, suitable for light trucks/jeeps only. |
Myingyan to Pyinmana (Naypyitaw) | Until Meiktila: Secondary road, double lane rough tarmac, winding road with some hills. Suitable for heavy trucks. No constraints. From Meiktila to Pyinmana: (Yangon-Mandalay old road) Primary road for heavy trucks, double lane smooth tarmac. Busy with cargo traffic. No constraints. |
Naypyitaw, East-Bago and South-Mandalay region
Travel times noted below are for 4x4 Jeep / city car. For heavy trucks travel time should be considerably increased by +/- 40-50%. The table below shows the travel distance and time via the old Yangon-Mandalay highway, AH1, the primary road for truck traffic .

Travel times noted below are for 4x4 land cruiser / city car and the travel time and the routes are also noted from Yangon to Taungoo, which used via Yangon-Mandalay Express Road and via newly renovated road from Taungoo to Loikaw. The road from Taungoo to Loikaw is not widely utilized because of its security concern of the landmine on the past and it need to go through Kayin and Shan States. The tourist buses also prefer to use the road via Kalaw of Shan State. For heavy trucks travel time should be considerably increased by +/- 40-50% and it should also take account the alternative route from Yangon to Taungoo.

Road Assessment Overview
Route | Comments |
---|---|
AH1 Yangon-Taungoo | For any heavy truck need to use Yangon- Bago- Taungoo via old Yangon-Mandalay highway. This primary road is with 4-lane tarmac and it can cause some delays while passing through villages and several times crossing the railroad. |
Taungoo-Loikaw via Thangdaung-LeikTho-Demoso | Double lane tarmac, unnamed secondary road suitable for 6 wheeler x 17ft long trucks due to the road are narrower at some sharp windings and steep condition while crossing hill country. This is the old road which was closed for some decades due to the security inside Kayin(Karen) State and Southern Shan State, especially landmine issue between Thandaung- Leiktho-Demoso. Now, more and more trucks, even 10-wheeler trucks are seen in this route. There is no weighbridge for this road yet except checkpoint run by local militia. The road condition from Demoso to Loikaw(18Km) is wider and in much better condition. The road is under expansion from 3(m) width to 5(m) from the union budget in financial year of 2017-2018. Distance: 213km, Time: 5hr, 40 km/hr average, 50 km/hr max speed. There are two alternative corridor to get Loikaw, such as Yangon-Pyawbwe-Loikaw and Yangon-Naypyitaw-Pinlaung-Pekon-Loikaw. |

Road Assessment Overview
Route | Comments |
---|---|
Monywa - Homalin (467 km) |
For this road section, there are two options of route can be used; 1st route either Monywa-Ye U-Thickegyin- Paungbyin-Homalin(535Km) or 2nd route Moywa-Kawlin-Pinlebu-Paungbyin-Homlin(527Km). The trucks are mostly operated on 1st route while the 2nd route is preferred for minibus with 10 passengers and light vehicles because some parts of the route between Thickegyin and Paungbyin is bumpy and graveled with potholes. From the 1st route, it is later regarded as AH1 section for 210 Km with tarmac and many improved bridges, between the road section of Monywa and Kale. Only 6-wheelers type (Canter & Nissan) are recommended on the route of Thickkeygyin- Paungbyin-Homalin and Pinlebu-Homalin road section and this section can be also regarded as tertiary road with dirt, graveled road and narrow at some places. The road improvement continues year by year however, both these routes remain inaccessible at times during the rainy season (June-Oct). There are 11-minibus stands operates between Homlin to Mandalay and Monywa. But, most of them are mainly based in Monywa and 4 in Homlin. |
Homalin - Hta Man Thi (87 km) | Involves a ferry ride at Pint Mar bank to cross over the Chindwin River and it will take 5-10 min for cross the river. The ferry barge can load light truck and vehicles, too. It could cost from MMK 30,000 to 50,000 per trip for the ferry charges. It can be classified as tertiary road because of the graveled and narrow, no service for vehicles, rare trucks and sparseness of villages along the road. No access for truck during the rainy season and no regular traffic system in place yet. |
Hta Man Thi - Layshi (65 km) | This section is dirt, steep and winding and can be classified as tertiary. No sourced information regarding the truck operating in the area. It is potentially not accessible in rainy season. |
Homlin - Hkamti (69 km) | his section is graveled, partly dirty, narrow and no steep. 6-Wheeler light truck can be also accessible during the dry season (Nov-May), however, due to road conditions, this is not a popular route for most transporters since the waterway is more used. It can be classified as tertiary road. Hkamti is the only place has a domestic airport in the area and in dry season. It is quite common that boats are caught in the mud due to shallow water and could stay entrapped for weeks. |
Khamti - Lahei Road (81 km) | This is the only and main road network to Lahei from Khamti. The road is one-lane narrow tarmac and the mountain range is unreasonably steep and the curve is sharp in general at some sections. There are no regular passenger service running between Khamti and Lahei as the buses or minibuses only runs when they are full. There is also motorbike taxi transportation service from Khamti to Lahei. Most transporters are based in Lahei with 5 MT trucks and Indian 1.5 tonnage trucks. They operate all year-round between Khamti and Lahe. Government is upgrading and renovating the road gradually and in the past 1-2 years, the road conditions have significantly improved. The team observed that there are possibilities of landslide for some sections between Khamti~Lahei road. |
Lahei - Nan Yun Road (168 km) | This section of road is wide enough for small carc up to Tonhi, but the road start narrows from Tonhi to Nan Yun. The road is steep with curves on. It is only accessible by cargo truck (5tonnage 6-wheeler) during the dry season and not accessible during the rainy season. There is motorbike transportation service between Lahei and Nan Yun. |
Nan Yun~Pan Saung Road (52 km) | This section of road condition is very bad as only 15% of stone road is wide enough and the remaining 85% of this section have no proper bridges, graveled-bumpy, dirty and muddy classifiable as tertiary road. It is not accessible in rainy season. However, in the dry season (Nov-May), there are 6-wheeler timber trucks (8-tonnage) operating on this route. No regular transport service is found, but 4x4 vehicles and double cabin pickups do pass through here intermittently. |
Taunggyi and Northern Shan State
Travel times noted below are for 4x4 Land Cruiser / City car. For heavy trucks travel time should be considerably increased by +/- 40-50%. The route from Yangon to Taunggyi. The road branches into two, and those are Yangon-Naypyidaw-Pinlaung-Aungban-Taunggyi Route(AH1 to AH3 connect in Aungban) and Yangon-Naypyitaw-Pyawbwe-Kalaw-Aungban-Taunggyi(AH1 connect AH3 at Pyawbwe-Tharzi Junction). Among two,Yangon-Naypyitaw-Pyawbwe-Kalaw-Aungban-Taunggyi is the preferred route since the terrain is more manageable. The road is wider as well, however, despite its longer distance than the other alternative, the travel time is arguably the same (650 Km ,10 hr30min vs 609Km, 10hr30min).

2.3.1 Myanmar Border Crossing of Tamu (India)
Overview
Tamu is a town in North West Myanmar in Sagaing region on the border facing the town of Moreh on the Eastern Indian State of Manipur. The Tamu-Moreh crossing is the main channel for Myanmar goods sent to India. Although Tamu is on the International Asean Road AH1 and planned to be a transport hub for cross border traffic, cross border traffic remains limited to local trade in agricultural products and some economic goods mainly produced in India and China. There is no significant potential increase of cross-border trade at Tamu without making significant improvements to the AH1 road section from Monywa or Shewbo to Tamu and improving the border transshipment procedures on both sides. No trucks can cross the border on both sides and all cargo is transshipment by manual labour; hand carried or by using pushcarts. The initiation of a regional bus service between Imphal (India side) to Mandalay which was scheduled to start on 7 April 2020 was delayed. Residents from both sides are normally allowed to travel up to 16 km inside each other’s territory against a day pass (valid up to 1630hrs on the same day) issued on the submission of an identity proof.
Manipur is not a well-developed hinterland. Security has been a concern in Manipur and the area of Moreh (bordering Tamu, on the Indian side) due to insurgency of separatist movements in the area.

2.4 Myanmar Railway Assessment
Generally, the trains do not run on time and are not much used for freight. Myanmar Railways (MR) does not accept liability for damage to cargo in transit, therefore it is recommended to transport cargo by rail through third party freight forwarders or transporters. Since MR rents out most freight cargo capacity in advance to private transporters monthly, it is difficult to get freight capacity directly from MR.
Railway transportation should be considered as last resort only if road transportation is temporary inaccessible/cut-off due to disaster or unstable situation. It is not recommended for emergency response situation or for cargo transportation in general as there are other faster alternatives.
The railway network is divided by MR into 11 administrative divisions. In lower Myanmar, to the South the main line starts in Yangon and ends at Dawei, Tanintharyi. Freight can only be transported until Mawlamyine due to the mountainous terrain. In upper Myanmar, to the North the main line runs from Yangon via Nay Pyi Taw to Myitkyina, in Kachin State. This line to Myitkyina is used more frequently for freight by private transporters because it is less costly than road transportation. In its current state, the railway network anchors to two mains stations: Yangon Central and Mandalay Central with most routes are single track.
After many years of inadequate railway system or network development since its first inauguration in May 1877 (rail track between Yangon to Pyay), the railway network expansion, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rail Transportation and operated by state-owned Myanmar Railways (MR), has been expedited in the last 2 decades. Its network nearly doubled since 1988, with a total route length of 6110.481 km (single route 5405.285 km and double route 705.196 km) in December 2019. The Myanmar railway network is mainly narrow gauge (1,000 mm ~ meter-gauge). This expansion however has not been followed by proper and adequate maintenance work. Approximately 60% of railway infrastructure, including locomotives and coaches are generally in poor condition, which has restricted freight train operating speed and made train rides uncomfortable because of poor tracks and bridge conditions. Some tracks are not passable during the monsoon season. There are no rail links to adjacent countries and the status of planned cross-border rail connections to China, India, and Thailand, as well as the Thanbyuzayet-Three Pagoda pass connection remains uncertain. In 2013- 2014 fiscal year, 60 m passengers and 2.5m tons were transported, using 397 passenger trains/day and 25 freight trains/day. The rail capacity includes 384 locomotives, 1,600 passenger coaches and 3,600 freight wagons.
Overview of Myanmar Railway as of December 2019
The government has plans to improve the quality of the Yangon-Mandalay-Myitkyitna and the Bago-Mawlamyine section. There are existing plans to build a high-speed railway to connect Kunming in Southwest China with Vietnam, Lao PDF, and Myanmar, respectively. Construction on the section connecting to Myanmar, the Dali-Ruili railway, began in May 2011 and is scheduled to take six years, but there is no progress still in 2020.
There is no rail link between Myanmar and India with the Moreh-Tamu-Kalay line is in the proposal stage. [1]
A list of railway line upgrade projects in Myanmar are presented below (source: presentation of Ministry of Transport and communications in the 2019 Asia PPP Practitioners’ Network Conference, Nov 2019).

Yangon Circular Railway
Yangon Circular Railway is a railway line for local commuters, which serves the Yangon metropolitan area. Operated by Myanmar Railways, the 45.9-kilometre (28.5 mi) 39-station loop system connects satellite towns and suburban areas to the city. The railway has about 200 coaches, runs 20 times a day and serves 85,000 to 100,000 passengers daily. Based on 2019 data, the journey took around 2 hours and 50 minutes. Myanmar Railway and JICA have jointly financed an upgrade project with the aim to increase traffic to 260,000 passengers daily and cut down travel time by an hour once the circular railway is upgraded. This upgrade is also an initial step towards reducing road traffic by increasing the transport market share of Myanmar Railways for daily commuting within Yangon Metropolitan area. The project began in 2018 and is scheduled to be completed in 2022.
The service hours are from 3:45 am to 10:15 pm daily. The cost of a ticket for a distance up to 15 miles is 100 kyats (~nine US cents), and for trips over 15 miles is 200 kyats (~18 US cents).
Myanmar Railway Schedule (Passengers trains attached with cargo train)
Below table is the passenger train schedule. Cargo wagons can be attached to passenger trains along the routes.
It is recommended to check with Rail Road department for every trip to confirm schedule and it can be possible to check out for update on Myanmar Railway social media pages (Facebook page) and government official websites.

Regional Railway Assessments
Mon State and Thanintharyi Region
The railway network in Myanmar is divided in 11 divisions. The railway network in Mon state and Thanintharyi region are included in Division 8. This railway line starts from Yangon and ends at Dawei in Thanintharyi. Between Ye and Dawei, the railway track has steep inclines and therefore freight trains cannot reach Dawei, only passenger trains run on this line. Myanma Railways (MR) was planning to extend this railway line further South from Dawei to Myeik, but this extension been put on hold due to budget constraints.

Limited cargo is transported by Myanma Railways because MR does not accept liability for loss, damage, or delay of freight in transit. |
Kawlin and Sagaing Region
The Kawlin railway station is under the Ywa Htaung Division-2, on the main track of Myitkyina-MyoHoung (MDY). The volume of freight by rail reduces on this line after the road conditions improve and the number of truck increases in the area.

Key Route Information
On many sections of the line, there is a common issue of water erosion and land subsidence causing foundation of trestles to erode which results in unevenness and dips in the rails. On sections where these conditions are present, trains must slow down to avoid accidents and derailing.

Limited cargo is transported by Myanma Railways because MR does not accept liability for loss, damage, or delay of freight in transit. Another factor is due to availability of other means of transport which can reach or trade door to door between buyers and seller for common informal trade activities in the area. |

Kawlin and Wuntho rail stations are used to be busy for timber
delivery to Yangon/Mandalay and for local paddy and noodle
transportation to Myitkyina. However, after many heavy trucks were
imported and operational in Myanmar in the recent years, the rail
freight service share dropped more than 70%. up to only two train
wagons traffic is operational on weekly basis. Yangon-Myitkyina or
Mandalay-Myitkyina trains will have to stop at Kawlin when flash
flood occurs, which is quite frequent during the rainy season.
Kawlin station area is on a higher ground than other parts of town
and generally it is safe from risk of
flooding.
Indaw and Kanbalu station are minor stations on the main track of MyoHoung-Myitkyina (MDY) and there is no regular cargo wagon passing through. This line used to be busy for paddy and rice transportation for local growers and traders until road transportation becomes an alternative option for them.
Katha station (South) is the final station on the line that connects to the main track of Myitkyina-Myohoung (Mandalay) at Naba with a small block of passenger trains run in between. No freight wagon operational on this track. The Katha station (North) is no more in use as the rail track heading to Singan under Shwegu township of Kachin state is no longer operational due to poor construction and inefficiency compared to other available transportation means.
Ye-U Station is a less popular and except one bus and local train running for ferry, the line is no longer used for cargo wagon. It is one of the stations in the middle of Shwebo-KhinU track.
Kayah and Southern Shan State
The Loikaw railway station relates to one of the main stations at Tarzi Station and it is under Kalaw Division-4 which comprise of stations along Southern Shan and Kayah State. Among them, Aungban and Lawksawk are active station with cargo and passengers.

Key Route Information
On many sections of the line, there is a common issue of water erosion and land subsidence causing foundation of trestles to erode which results in unevenness and dips in the rails. On sections where these conditions are present, trains must slow down to avoid accidents and derailing.

Route B: Nyaung-U station is on the line from Yangon, via Bagan to Pakokku, daily trains. There are also 2 x daily trains from Nyaung-U to Mandalay.
Route E: From Mandalay there is a loop to Monywa. From Khin-U the line continues North to Myitkyina (Kachin State). There are five express trains per day from Shwebo to Myitkyina and 2 local trains per day. There are three destinations from Monywa: Mandalay, Pakokku, Khin-U. From Monywa to Pakokku, one day-trip train operates daily.
Route D: Pakkoko-Naypyitaw: The line connects at Sathwar to the main line from Yangon to Naypyitaw. Quality of the rail track is relatively good, but this line is only used for passenger service. Cargo for Pakokku will be routed via Mandalay. From Pakokku to Kyaw (94 miles to the westward), a small passenger train operates on daily basis.
Route Pakkoku to Kale: This route is interrupted due to landslides at the tunnel of Bon Nyar hill between Kyaw and Yae Myat Ni (for 33.8 km) and at Kanbani bridge between Gangaw and Kale station, 50 km from Kale. Only passenger trains operate between Pakokku to Kyaw and between Yae Myat Ni and Gangaw and between Gangaw and Kale. Kanbani bridge was repaired in 2016 and government is constructing new bridge to replace the old one, however, the line between Kyaw and Yae Myat Ni is not planned to be repaired. For this reason, Pakokku to Kale is not recommended as a key route.

Cargo Terminal, Mandalay
Cargo from and to Yangon is being handled at Myo Houng Railway terminal in Mandalay (21° 56' 12.3"N, 96° 04' 55.4"E) near the RRD warehouses about 2 miles from Mandalay main station, close to the old airport. There is a covered cargo terminal used for manual transshipment to trucks and a yard with an operational gantry crane of 40MT & 16MT capacity, which can handle 20ft and 40ft containers (21° 56' 11.8"N, 96° 05' 12.7"E). Container traffic is unfortunately remaining low in volume.
A newly established Myitnge Dry Port also offers Freight train cargo by Myanmar Railway. It runs 2 times a week between Mandalay Myitnge Dry Port and Yangon Ywar Thar Gyi Dry Port route using a total of 27 wagons with max loading capacity at 32 tons / wagon (Wagon Payload Dimension: Max width 8’, height 8’6”, length 40’).

2.5 Myanmar Waterways Assessment
Overview
Myanmar has an extensive river network that serves as a major resource for the people of Myanmar allowing them access to fresh water and source of irrigation water that sustains rice production across Myanmar. It spans through more than 9000 kilometers and it remains unexploited and under-developed. Distortion of subsidies, non-engineered channels and landing river spots serving as ports, lacking adequate terminal facilities. Despite this, river transport still plays a major role in domestic freight transportation. While river transport carries the potential to hold the competitive advantage in transportation of earth materials in bulk or large quantities, this has not been observed to have happened within the local freight market.
Navigating these rivers proves to be a difficult task due to shallow depths, limiting loads or deploying smaller capacity boats which leads to higher costs and inefficiencies as well as longer travel time, particularly during the dry season. Discharge volume and intensity resulting in severe suspended sedimentation and flow changes in the river course along the major upstream rivers remain a challenging issue that hampers maximization or utilization of waterway transportation as navigation channels keeps shifting. Accumulation of sands are commonly observed in most rivers in Myanmar. This confines navigation to daytime especially when water level is down during the dry season and channels are shifting. The need to employ experience pilots across different sections of the river becomes crucial in the absence of channel markers and signs.
The main ports of Myanmar can be found in 9 cities: Sittwe, Thandwe, Kyauk Phyu, Pathein, Yangon, and Mawlamyine. (See link: 2.1 Myanmar Port Assessment) All river ports, except Yangon are undeveloped and lack berths, jetties, and significant handling equipment. The Port of Yangon remains the main port in Myanmar that handles most of all importation and exportation activities. As of 2012, permissions on car importations was streamlined resulting in an increase of the number of trucks operated by private transport companies in the country, the volume of cargo being transported through the waterways have been steadily on a decline. ADB data estimated that in 2014, the market share of waterway transportation is only 16% for freight and 1.5% for passenger transportation. Although it takes longer time to transport goods by road, it remains one of the cheapest transport options in country.
The Ayeyarwaddy river is the most important commercial waterway in Myanmar, running through the center of the country. It is about 1,350 miles (2,170 km) long starting in Kachin State and runs through Yangon to the Delta in Ayeyarwaddy Region. In some parts of the delta, the waterways are sometimes the only form of transport available. It is navigable along most of its length in all seasons. However, in the dry season, cargo boats need to reduce their cargo by 50% due to the shallow water depth. on the lower part of the river, from Mandalay to Yangon, this section is accessible for vessels up to 1000 GRT. However, on the upper part, from Bhamaw in Kachin State to Mandalay, this section is only accessible for vessels up to 300 GRT due to draft condition for most of the months, while during the peak of the dry season, only 100 ton ships can navigate the river safely. As a major channel, this river remains in need of dredging and stabilization efforts along the riverbanks. Limited modern navigation aid and lack of basic river port terminal (dock, storage, and handling equipment) have constrained the use of larger vessels to operate in this channel. This problem is exacerbated with land-access issues at these river ports preventing vehicles to reach closer to the offloading/loading area for the manual handling of commodities to take place.
In many upstream rivers, navigation channels remain undeveloped with heavy sedimentation and collapsed riverbanks. These channels are also not defined and adequately marked. Nautical charts are not always available that increase the risk for safe navigations. Boat operators must rely on their experience to navigate these waters.
In Sagain Region, the Chindwin River is navigable up to Khamti and Homalin all year round. Depending on the water depth, draft conditions, and weight of vessel, it is navigable up to the Tanai (Kachin State). The upper part of the river can be very shallow during the dry season.
In Rakhine state, around Sittwe, the rivers to Buthidaung (MayYu River) and Kyauktaw (Kaladan River) are navigable. Several towns in Rakhine can be accessed both by road and river. Due to the river conditions, road transportation seems to be quicker to transport goods for most of the towns, except for Myaebon town, which can only be accessed by water transportation. Most common transport on these waterways is by local wooden hull vessels that can carry up to 100MT cargo capacity. Larger, shallow draft barges or landing vessels can also pass however they are not commonly used in the area.
In Mon state and Tanintharyi Region that is further upstream, water transport is not common. In Mawlamyine (Mon State), the Thanlyin River and Gyaing River are both navigable, but the river is mainly used for passenger transport and some local transport by wooden hull vessels of up to 100MT.
In Tanintharyi at Dawei, the Dawei River is only navigable for a couple more miles north of Dawei. Therefore, in this area, it is mostly used for local passenger transport. In Myeik, the Kyaukphyar River (North) and Tanintharyi River (South-East) are navigable and mainly used for passenger transport and local cargo transport by wooden hull vessels of up to 100MT. The coastal area around Myeik is interlaced with tributaries and for many small coastal towns, coastal transportation is their primary means, and at times, the only connection available to Myeik.
In Kawthaung the Kra Buri bay and river acts as the border between Myanmar and Thailand. Large vessels of up to 2000 GRT around Kawthaung can pass this navigable upstream for about 50km but there are no significant settlements in that direction.
Company Information
Inland Water Transport (IWT), established in 1865, under the Ministry of Transport is a state-owned enterprise responsible for water transport of passengers and cargo. With 11.239 million passengers and 1.375 million tons of cargo transported (April 2015 to March 2016) it is the largest transport company active on the waterways. River transportation is one of the cheapest means of transport in Myanmar.
IWT has six divisions:
- Delta Division,
- Ayeyarwaddy Division,
- Chindwin Division,
- Thanlwin Division,
- Rakhine Division
- Cargo Division.
It has a fleet of 292 vessels: Passenger, cargo vessels, powered barges, and tugs. 30% of their fleet is more than 60 years old, 26% between 40-60 years old, 35% between 20-40 years old, 4% between 10-20 years old and 5% under 10 years old (as of 15 June 2016). Their cargo vessels are leased out to private contractors on an annual basis, while the passenger vessels are still operated by IWT. Since 2014, their fleet size has dropped by 30% and the volume of cargo transported has shrunk by 34% as more and more passengers resort to other types of transportation means that are perceived to be more efficient.
Shwe Pyi Tan Co. Ltd. and Pathein Thu Co. Ltd. are the largest private transportation companies for inland water transport. They are active in Ayeyarwaddy Region. However, most people and businesses in Ayeyarwaddy Region (in the towns of Bogale, Mawkyun, Laputta, Pathein) rely on IWT for transport of passengers and cargo to Yangon Region. There is minimum competition there because IWT has monopolized this sector in Ayeyarwaddy.
Ships are charged a standard fee for passing through the waterway by the Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River System (DWRIRS), under the Ministry of Transport & Communications. DWRIRS charges 0.20 Kyat/MT capacity/mile, per trip (rate as of Jun 2016). This is charged at the river stations Twantay, Nyaungdong, Pyay, Magway, Mandalay and Kathar and for the Chindwin River at Monywa and Kalewa.

Ayeyarwaddy River
IWT still operates 14 passenger ships along the Ayeryawaddy River, while 10 of their cargo vessels and 30 passenger/cargo vessels have been privatized since 2013. There are private passenger vessel companies that operate for tourism from Yangon to Pyay (Prome), Nyaung-U (Bagan), Mandalay and Kathar along Ayeyarwady River. There are individually owned vessels, barges and small ferries run along Chindwin River between Pakokku, Monywa, Kalewa, Homlin and Khanti.
World Bank started in 2016 a dredging project that will run until 2021 to increase the depth of the Ayeyarwaddy River from Nyaung-U to Mandalay (191 km) to at least 2 meters. In dry season (Nov-April), the minimum depth currently ranges from 1-1.5m (5-7 ft).

Water transportation from Yangon to Pyay involves two options.
- Option 1 is via Twantay canal (124 km length) at Twantay city. Twantay canal is preferred by Inland Water Transport.
- Option 2 via the Hlaing River (98km length) at Nyaungdon city is 26km (1.5 - 3 hours) shorter. The Hlaing River is preferred by the private sector but is more difficult to navigate due to narrow sections with many channel turns.

Rakhine State
In Rakhine state, particularly around Sittwe, the rivers to Buthidaung (MayYu River) and Kyauktaw (Kaladan River) are navigable. Several towns in Rakhine can be accessed by both road and river. However, for most towns, road transportation remains the fastest means. Most common transport on these waterways is by local wooden hull vessels of up to 100MT cargo capacity. Larger, shallow draft barges or landing vessels can be used, but are not common in the area.
There are two existing IWT transportation route in Rakhine State. The first route is Sittwe - Rathedaung - Buthidaung and running mile are 40 miles for Rathedaung and 80 for Buthidaung. The second route is Sittwe to Myae Bon and Kyauk Phyu. The running mile are 64 miles to Myae Bon and 128 miles to Kyauk Phyu.

2.6 Myanmar Storage Assessment
Ayeyarwady Division
Government departments, such as the Department of Trade Promotion (DOTP), the Department of Agriculture and the ministry of commerce, mostly own the large warehouses that can be found in Ayeyarwaddy division. Storage space for commercial use is mostly controlled by local rice millers. Most warehouses can be accessed by both river and road, some are accessible by road only. The most common freight transportation mode in Ayeyarwaddy division is by road or water since no railway network exists in this division. The transport capacity in Ayawaddy Division is maximum 10 MT by road and 250 MT by waterway from other areas, such as Yangon to Ayawaddy Division. For transportation from the main town to the villages within Ayawaddy Division, is only accessible by small boats with cargo capacity of 75 MT, especially for the rural areas since more than 60% of the villages are only accessibly by waterway transportation.
The Ayawaddy is a disaster-prone area. This region was hit badly during the Nargis Cyclone in 2008 resulted in 84,500 casualties and 53,800 missing cases as officially reported. Local disaster management department (DDM) personnel reported that around 40 smaller-scale cyclones hit the area in 2019. Post-Nargis has led the government to build bridges and roads and gradually improve the connectivity within the division. Millers mostly used waterway transport for their rice due to cost consideration.
Given the fact that this region is a disaster-prone area, basic services such as access to clean water and electricity as well as communications infrastructure is sub-standard. Storage space in general is limited as most millers use their small space to store their rice stocks and they are in poor conditions that may require significant repairs. DDM controls the Indian Cyclone Shelter which can potentially be used for humanitarian purposes. It remains advisable to preposition stocks outside this area as well given the existing conditions.
For more information on storage company contact details, please see the following link: 4.6 Myanmar Storage and Milling Company Contact List.

Rice milling in Ayawaddy Region.
Commercial Storage
Most commercial storage in Ayeyarwaddy is owned by local rice milling businesses and mainly used to store paddy and rice. Apart from the rice mill warehouses, there are not many warehouses available in Ayeyarwaddy. Most large warehouses are owned by government departments such as the Department of Trade Promotion (DOTP) of the Ministry of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture.

Public Sector Storage
Most warehouses in the public sector in Ayeyarwaddy belong to the Department of Trade Promotion (DOTP) which is under the Ministry of Commerce. But it has transferred ownership of their facilities to the private sector except Cyclone Shelters which were built under the India-Myanmar Friendship Project in 2011. This could be considered for short-term storage of humanitarian relief supplies after a natural disaster, in case they are not used as shelter. In March 2020, Department of Trade Promotion (DOTP) is handing over all Cyclone Shelters to the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) under the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement, which is the main government department in the Delta responsible for emergency preparedness and response.
They cooperate with the Township Disaster Management Committee. They have items prepositioned for 50 house- holds at township level (Mawgyun, Bogalay, Kyaitlatt) and 500 household at district level (Pyapone, Labutta), mostly: Family kits, tarpaulin, buckets, jerry cans, Hygiene Kits. Government construct Cyclone Shelters and School Cum Shelters in several location in delta region with National Disaster Management Fund under the guidance of Vice President, Chairman of National Disaster Management Committee.

Mon State, Mawlamyine
Commercial Storage
There are limited commercial storage options available in Mawlamyine. Most purposely built warehouses belong to government departments such as the Department of Trade Promotion (DOTP), the Agriculture Department and the Rescue and Resettlement Department. The private sector mostly uses small storage spaces attached to shops or rent some shared space within the government’s warehouse.
Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
There are about 15 NGO’s active in Mawlamyine, but none of them have warehouses except IOM, Myanmar Red Cross, and WFP. IOM has a mobile storage unit (MSU) and is renting a warehouse located within the Mawlamyine Zay Cho warehouse compound, which is used to store rice, beans, oil and salt. Mawlamyine Myanmar Red Cross Society has a warehouse attached to their office where they store non-food items such as family kits and hygiene kits. WFP has a small storage space attached to their office, which is used to store high energy biscuits (HEB’s).

Cold Chain
There are no cold chain storage facilities at INGO’s and UN organizations in Mawlamyine. The public hospital in Mawlamyine has cold chain storage capacity to support regular vaccination activities.
Rakkhine State
Purposely build large warehouses are very rare in Rakkine division. Government departments such as the Department of Trade Promotion (DOTP) of the Ministry of Commerce and Myanma Port Authority (MPA) own most large warehouses. Some warehouses that were previously owned by DOTP have been sold to private companies and some are still under management of DOTP.
WFP has significant warehouse space available in Sittwe and in Maungdaw.
Most of warehouses in Rakkhine can be accessed using both river and road, while some can be accessed only by road. Railway transport is not available in Rakkhine and therefore cargo is delivered mainly through road and water transportation.
Commercial Storage
Unlike in Ayeyarwaddy Division, availability of private sector warehouses in Rakkhine Division is very limited. Local businesses mostly utilize small storage space within or attached to their shops and office compounds. Government departments own most large warehouses in Rakkhine.

Government departments such as the Ministry of Commerce, Department of Trade of Promotion (DOTP), Department of Agriculture, Myanmar Port Authority (MPA) and the Department of Relief and Resettlement control most warehouse space available in Myanmar. These warehouses were used previously for storage of rice and fertilizer or cargo in transit, but now often have been sold to, or rented out on a yearly basis to the private sector.
Although there are no warehouse structures built by the private sector in Myanmar for many years, there has been some recent development observed starting from 2015.Foreign investments including on storage facilities in Yangon have been observed, especially in the Thilawa SEZ (Special Economic Zone). There are some warehouses in Ayeryarwaddy division that are owned by rice mills and in Tanintharyi division warehouses owned by the fishery business. In Sittwe in Rakkhine State and Myitkyina in Kachin State, WFP has built six mobile storage units with a concrete foundation at the WFP office compound that are used for storage of food.

Magway and Minbu
Most large warehouses in Magway are owned by the government and some of them are leased out to the private sector. However, several of these warehouses are not in use and could be made available if needed for emergency response. Commercial storage capacity is hard to find in Magway. Minbu, a small town across the river from Magway, offers some additional public sector storage space.
Commercial Storage
Warehouse space in the private sector is scarce and mostly restricted to small and medium size locations attached to businesses or private houses, in use by retail businesses. Even the private sector resorts to renting warehouse space from the government. At the time of the assessment, the mission could only locate one private sector location with two warehouses that can be available for use. A second option is a warehouse of Dept. of Consumer Affairs which is under a 1-year lease by a coffee company.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
The main humanitarian organisations present in Mandalay are UNDP, UNICEF, World Vision, PACT, ICRC and Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS). ICRC has an office, but it has no logistics presence per se due to its focus on IDP’s and combatants in Shan State.
World Vision has a regional office in Mandalay and an area office and warehouse in Pyi Gyi Tagun. They keep emergency contingency stocks such as purification tablets for 100,000 households and family kits for 400 households. World Vision has a regional disaster team roster of 25 people. Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS) has an office and warehouse in Chanmyatharzi, with emergency stocks for 500 households (Family kits, hygiene kits, dignity kits, shelter toolkits, jerry cans). UNICEF has provided family kits to RRD and other supplies (for WASH, Health & Nutrition and education) will be provided from Yangon to government counterparts when emergencies occur. No other (I)NGOs appear to have emergency contingency stocks prepositioned in Mandalay.

There are no other NGO’s based in Meikhtila.

Nyaung-U, Mandalay Region
Commercial Storage
There is limited commercial storage space available in Nyaung-U. During harvest season traders revert to leasing storage space for crops from the Government Cooperative Department downtown due to space limitations locally. Most private sector storage spaces are small, located in offices and retail businesses. Nyaung-U district has no Industrial Zone such as nearby district Pakokku and Myingyan.
Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
There are few NGO’s operating in Nyaung-U, and most are working in livelihoods (Action Aid) or the health sector. None of them have warehouses in Nyaung-U.
Public Sector Storage
The Government Cooperative Department storage space is normally not available. However, the Department of Consumable Goods and the Department of Agriculture Services have three warehouses that are available and could be used in case of emergencies. The Nyaung-U districts has a DRR office which has a warehouse and keep a contingency stock of family kits for 500 households. Parts of the Nyaung-U district, islands in the Ayeyarrrawaddy river, experience annual flood emergencies.

Naypyitaw and Pyinmana, Naypyitaw Region
Potential storage locations in Naypyitaw region are located mostly in and around Pyinmana. The rest of Naypyitaw consists mostly of roads and government buildings, including official housing units. In case of a large scale disaster in Naypyitaw, as a last resort buildings within the Zabu Thiri Sports complex and Wunna Theikdi stadium could be used for shelter and temporary storage, as it consists of two locations with several large buildings and stadiums (N19 54 05.7 E96 14 56.5 and N19 46 25.3 E96 04 10.2).
Commercial Storage
Pyinmana has a transport and bus terminal (Bawgathiri Highway Station) with small storage/retail units used by the private sector of which most capacity is in use. Opposite the terminal is a workshop zone with several unused plots that offer significant potential storage capacity. This site would also be suitable to set up a temporary Logistics hub, since it is close to Naypyitaw airport and there is enough space available.

Instead it relies on the contingency stock of Naypyitaw Council when needed for national response. Naypyitaw council has a storage facility with emergency contingency stock of family kits for 1,000 households. International in-kind donations of relief items to the Department of Relief and Resettlement are received in the warehouse of Naypyitaw Council.

Kale, Sagaing Region
Commercial Storage
Availability of storage capacity in the private sector is very limited in Kale, except for small storage locations, in and behind offices and houses, used for agricultural products like betel nut. The industrial zone in Kale, 8km west of town, is mainly used by large companies and there is generally no commercial storage available. There are however large plots of land that could be potentially used to setup a temporary storage hub.
Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
The main humanitarian organisations working in Kale are WFP, MRCS, PSI, IOM, Marie Stopes and Charity Service for Friends (CSF). All, except WFP and MRCS, keep small storage facilities at their offices with stock for regular program activities. Only MRCS and WFP keep larger warehouses with contingency stocks for emergencies. MRCS keeps a stock of hygiene kits, jerry cans and water purification tablets for 500 households.

Tamu, Sagaing Region
See section Roads and Border Crossing at Tamu for information regarding transport and supply via Tamu. The AH1 road from Kale/Kalewa to Tamu is narrow with a high number of 1-lane narrow bridges and there is no large town in the hinterland in India. Due to this, Tamu is not recommended to be used for importation of international emergency humanitarian supplies to Myanmar. On another note, Tamu district has a low probability of earthquake and flood emergencies. The nearest Indian town Imphal has a higher chance of earthquakes, and the Tamu border crossing could be needed to send emergency humanitarian supplies by road from Myanmar to India.
Commercial Storage
Commercial storage capacity is very limited in Tamu. It is mostly restricted to small storage sites in offices and houses, used for agricultural and retail products, all being used by companies. There is no industrial zone in Tamu. Therefor no potential storage sites from the private sector are listed in Tamu. The closest location with potential commercial and public storage capacity is in Kale and Kalewa.
Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Marie Stopes (24°13'7.23"N, 94°18'31.65"E) and Asian Harm Reduction Network (AHRN) are working in Tamu, both active in the health sector. However, none of the humanitarian agencies keep any contingency stock for emergencies, nor have a warehouse.
Public Sector Storage
The Department of Consumer Affairss has two warehouses in the middle of the town, one for fertilizer and a second which is empty. The city sport hall can also be made available for temporary storage space in case of emergencies, with the prior approval from the Tamu District Administration Department (Mr.Zin Min Htay-District Deputy Administrator-Phone: +95-9-428110311). There are no contingency (food) stocks kept by any government department in Tamu.

Demoso, Kayah State
There are some maize and rice storage facilities from the local small millers between Demoso and Loikaw. Alternatively, the commercial warehouses in Loikaw can be considered since the distance between Loikaw and Demoso is only 18 Km. This could be one of the main reasons that very few humanitarian agencies maintain their presence in Demoso.
Commercial Storage
Between Demoso and Loikaw, there are some unutilized warehouses
which were previously used to store rice and corn.

Hpruso, Kayah State
In Hpruso, there is no major commercial or UN/NGOs storage facilities Since Loikaw, Demoso and Hpruso are located relatively close to each other, hence, very few humanitarian agencies open their sub/field office in Demoso.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
KMSS and National Community Driven Development (NCDD) maintain office presence in Hpruso, however, they do not seem to maintain any storage facilities.

Loikaw, Kayah State
Both public and private sector have warehouse in Loikaw. Only few NGOs (ACF, CARE, WVI & SC) have small storage place for their own stockpiles. The vast flat land of Loikaw has a risk of flooding up to some extent as the vast arable land of Loikaw township is feed by the water from the Moe Bye dam, which was built many decades.
Commercial Storage
There is no Industrial Zone in Loikaw but there are several
warehouses available in town, unused that have been previously used
for the rice and corn storage.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
Although there are more than 50 humanitarian agencies (UN, INGOs, NGOs and CBOs) based in Loikaw, very few of them have warehouses. MRCS and ACF have storage facilities to possibly share in the future. The contingency stock for emergency is usually delivered from Yangon to the affected area for most of the agency as there was the least for the emergency response in the area. However, Loikaw has the emergency stock of family kit for 500 households.

2.7 Myanmar Milling Assessment
Overview
Myanmar is home to commercial rice millers that produce edible rice through husking, polishing, and blending. As of June 2014, there were less than 10 high-tech and modernized rice mills that can produce 100 to 400 tons per day in the country, according to the Myanmar Rice Millers Association. Most mills operate with old, obsolete processing units leading to about 15-20 percent quality and quantity losses during milling.
Figure 1 Mills Statistics (Source: http://www.ffinetwork.org/country_profiles/country.php?record=28)
Since rice is the main staple food in Myanmar, the milling industry continues to grow to meet the demand, some also involves foreign investment, such as MAPCO (a joint venture with a Japanese company). Another one is Wilmar Myanmar (a subsidiary of Singapore based Wilmar International) launched a four mill and consumer pack edible oil processing plan in the Thilawa SEZ in October 2019 to produce, sell and distribute rice and rice related products. Importation remains strictly controlled.
Addressing malnutrition issue in Myanmar is a key national priority. In 2013, a company called PATH became the first company which introduced with fortified rice to Myanmar in 2013. WFP Myanmar started to distribute fortified rice to the beneficiary as a pilot project in central Rakhine. It means fortified rice is available at the market but at a premium quality. To meet the nutritional value, WFP procures fortified kernel locally and blend it with WFP standard rice. There are only two companies which can produce fortified kernel and six registered companies which has blending facility in Myanmar. Production of fortified kernel is still limited in terms of quantity and deviation of produced fortified kernel micronutrients from the acceptable range of specification may occur requiring regular inspections to ensure that they are met and completed within the reasonable timeframe. small scale local millers do not necessarily have certifications. Larger corporations may have permission to export and FDA certificate. Most milling companies are small-scale and privately owned with the exception of industrial ones that are located in the urban areas.
According to Grain and Feed Annual report publish by USDA Foreign Agricultural Network in 2019, there are 11,666 rice mills in Myanmar, 88 percent of them are small mills with low quality and aging machinery. Milling recovery rate for head rice and broken rice is reported at 66% with post used the milling rate as 64% based on their interviews with rice millers[1]. During April to early November 2018, Myanmar exported about 1.3 million MT of rice , worth over USD 440 million breaking a fifty-year record as Myanmar found new rice export markets. Myanmar earned USD 242 million from the export of 680,000 MT of rice and broken rice through the border trade and about USD 200 million from 600,000 MT via maritime trade during the same period.
Medium to large rice mills (40-100/+100 mt/day) are located in Yangon, Ayeyarwady and Bago. Smaller mills are located in Sagaing, Mandalay, Mon and Tanintharyi. These rice mills generally do not have the capacity to produce flour or blend products such as Corn Soya Blend (CSB).
For the small-scale milling companies, especially the ones operating in the rural areas, they still operate traditionally through direct purchase of rice from farmers based on arms-length negotiation. Some of the farmers also receive benefit by advancing some payment to cover their operational costs of planting rice and have a committed buyer that will purchase their paddy at market rate applicable during harvest season. This also benefits the miller by securing supplies from the farmers. Rice is then sold to the various local traders in larger urban areas.
Most rice suppliers are typically members of Myanmar Rice Mill Association. In a concerted effort to address any food insecurity issue, the companies, through Myanmar Rice Federation (MRF) collectively support the government to meet the national rice requirements.
