Improvement of Yangon River Access Channel and

Its Associated Port Facilities

o All vessels generally sailing on flood tides and

crossing to both Inner Bar and Outer Bar at near
high tide. Waiting flood tide means delay time.

o Daily maintenance dredging at Inner bar

reallocation of navigation buoys at Outer bar.

o Yangon Port can be accessible to vessel of 167m

Investment Opportunities
o Public Investment

o 100% Investment under Build, Operate and Transfer basic

by Foreign and/or Local Investors.
o Joint-Venture between MPA and Foreign and/or local
Investors.
o Grant aids or soft loan financed by international financial
institute.

Conclusion
o

For Myanmar offshore and onshore oil and gas industry, a

remaining question is about the ports for servicing the industry.

The countrys existing ports are too small and shallow for most

modern needs.
o

The deep sea port development projects together with the

special economic zones (SEZ) developments in Dawei, Kyauk

Phyu, West Coast, and Maw La Myaing / Kalagauk are taking

time.
o

INVESTORS for Supply Base are NEEDED URGENTLY!

Myanmar Governments approval for those Supply Base

Development Proposals are Strongly Encouraged!
