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.

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.

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.
