Sihanoukville

The city, which was named in honour of former king Norodom


Sihanouk, had a population of around 89,800 people and
approximately 66,700 in its urban center in 2008.[5] Sihanoukville city
encompasses the greater part of six communes (Sangkats) in
Sihanoukville Province. It has evolved in parallel with the construction
of the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, which commenced in June
1955, as the country's gateway to direct and unrestricted international
sea trade. The only deep-water port in Cambodia includes an oil
terminal and a transport logistics facility.[6] As a consequence, the city
grew to become a center of trade, commerce, transport, and process
manufacturing.[7][8][9] Sihanoukville's many beaches and nearby
islands make it Cambodia's premier seaside resort.[10] Its
infrastructure problems persist, in particular those related to water and
power supply, while international standards for health facilities remain
limited.
Public spending on education in
Cambodia totaled 2.6% (of GDP) as of
2010.[129] Cambodian general education
is based on the national school
curriculum that consists of:
The urban area suffers from polluted water supplies. Waste
management policies and practices are deficient or lacking
altogether.

The maximum mean is about 30 °C (86 °F) ; the minimum


mean, about 24 °C (75 °F). Maximum temperatures of higher
than 32 °C (90 °F), however, are common and, just before the
start of the rainy season, they may rise to more than 38 °C
(100 °F).
Sihanoukville was established as an international
marine gateway and as a result the local
economy is largely defined by its deep water
port and the nearby oil terminal. Attached is a
regularly modernized cargo storage and logistics
facility which serves numerous shipping
companies, freight forwarders, suppliers, and
maintenance contractors.[53] All of these are
based in the port's vicinity.[54] The Phnom
Penh–Sihanoukville transport corridor is the
premier national trade route, accounting for
about 75 percent of Cambodia's trade traffic.
