Myanmar is planning to construct another two new deep seaports in the Tanintaryi coast and Ayeyarwady region, according to Myanmar Port Authority (MPA).
Thailand is interested to construct
Kalargote deep seaport project located between Mawlamyaing and Yay in
Tanintaryi coast. Singapore is also interested to invest at Ngayokekaung
deep seaport located at Ngayokekaung Bay in Ayayarwady region.
Emerald Grand Hotel Group from Thailand
and Super Axis Development Pte Ltd. from Singapore have signed MoU with
the MPA in this month to analyse the potential to construct deep
seaports in Kalargote and Ngayokekaung respectively.
In the analysis, the measurement of
water resistance, ground testing, the effect of wind and tide and the
overall expenses to construct a whole deep seaport are included.
Ngayokekaung deep seaport port will have
the capacity to load 50,000-tonnes of goods and Kalargote deep seaport
will be able to contain 30 vessels of about 50,000-tonnes, according to
Chief Civil Engineer of the MPA Mya Than.
After completing the research, the MPA
will decide whether the project will be conducted as a build, operate
and transfer (BOT) system or a joint venture.
Industrial zones projects are included
in those two projects and the MPA will cooperate with Ayeyawady regional
government, Mon State government and Ministry of National Planning and
Economic Development to implement the two projects.
