I am pleased to inform that the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port has achieved a satisfactory business turnover during the past recent years as it pursued its underlying vision and development goals in line with the policy of the Royal Government of Cambodia. It is worth to be emphasized that all these achievements have been accomplished with the constant support and wisdom leadership of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the two Parent Ministries and PAS's Board of Directors.

Due to a constant growth of the national economy, the volume of port's cargo throughput has been highly increased. Therefore, in order to respond to such highly increased cargo throughput, PAS has additionally installed sufficient means of heavy cargo handling equipment and it is going to construct another New Container Terminal with -14.5m alongside depth which is able to accommodate around 90% of all container ships from the Asia Pacific region and to encourage the ocean freight to be more competitive.

I wish to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to relevant stakeholders and all PAS's officials, staffs and laborers who always contribute to improve PAS's service and to transform PAS to be a business center which is able to provide benefits for all people including Cambodians, people in the region and those in the world.
