Phnom Penh - The number of containers passing through the river port in Phnom Penh rose 46 per cent in the first 10 months of the year over the same period last year, local media reported Monday.
Phnom Penh Autonomous Port deputy director Eang Veng Sun told the Cambodia Daily newspaper that the presence of the Cai Mep deepwater port in southern Vietnam, which opened last year, had helped boost trade.
Containers loaded at Cai Mep can sail directly to Europe and the United States, Cambodia's two key export markets. However, exports leaving via Cambodia's southern seaport of Sihanoukville must be reloaded in Singapore or Hong Kong.
