Sihanoukville Autonomous Port

Sihanoukville Autonomous Port is a government agency and state corporation of Cambodia and
Sihanoukville that operates and governs the country's sole deep water port. In Sihanoukville, on
the Bay of Kampong Som of the Gulf of Thailand in south-western Cambodia. The port was
inaugurated in 1960 as construction of the Old Jetty's four berths had begun in 1955.

Since the port has continuously been extended. Several berths, a container terminal, a tanker
terminal and an industrial effluent treatment plant were added. There are nine berths available for
medium ships with a maximum draft of 8.5 m. The total berth length is 1,330 m and the tidal
variation is 1.4 m. The decking for the original pier laid in 1958 consisted of 137 pre-stressed
concrete beams, each 35 m long and weighing around 90 tons. The beams were assembled on
site and proved to be very difficult to maneuver. A small railway was constructed to transport the
beams from the assembly site.

In order to cope with the increasing rates of cargo throughput, the government of Cambodia had
constructed another 350 m long new quay with −10.5 m maximum draft in 1966. At present, this
new quay can accommodate three vessels with −7 m draft.
