Port Statistics
PPAP started serving containerized cargoes in 2002. Between 2003 and 2007, the number of the cargoes increased by an average of 20% annually. The effect of the Economic Crisis caused the container traffic via PPAP to decline in 2009. Fortunately, with the opening of Cai Mep Hub Port in Vietnam in June of 2009, PPAP’s container traffic started recovering and saw an increase of 32% in 2019. Also, despite the widespread transmission of the Covid-19 since early 2020, which caused many countries to lock down and led the world to having supply chain issues, PPAP still managed to maintain its container throughput with a steady increase of 19.72 % in 2022. According to our analysis, there are three crucial factors that have driven this continuous growth of container traffic via PPAP:
- The strategic location of PPAP, which is close to Phnom Penh, is convenient for consolidation and deconsolidation.
- The opening of Cai Mep Hub Port in Vietnam.
- The development of sub-feeder ports.
