Myanmar’s Maritime Export Volume Increases via Yangon Port

As the monsoon season ended and the open season comes starting this month, the international trade and goods flow by sea route through Yangon port returned to normal and export volumes are increasing.

• A total of 23 ships: two container ships, 15 general cargo ships, five tankers and one ship carrying palm-oil docked at the Yangon Port on 17 October and cargo loading and unloading work is operating.
• This month, over 55 per cent of estimated cargo ships get into the port. Nowadays, the country exports the products with 15 general cargo ships daily.
• Moreover, the vessels carrying fertilizers, cement, heavy machinery, fuel oil and cooking oil also dock at Thilawa and Yangon ports, and goods are being unloaded from cargoes.

As the open season supports maritime trade and improves the better maritime transport, the ports can also handle large numbers of huge vessels and Myanmar exports large volumes of Myanmar’s products to international markets.
