The ambitious port development plan, revealed during the annual meeting of the Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday, envisions the construction of a new container port – comprising a terminal, container yard, and customs and administrative buildings – on reclaimed land just north of the existing port facility.
The new port’s terminal will extend over 350 metres in length with a draft of 14.5 metres, capable of handling large container ships. Its container berths and storage yard will add 1 million TEU, or 20-foot equivalent units, of container throughput capacity, effectively tripling SAP’s current capacity.
Future expansion, to be built on more reclaimed land, would include additional container berths and a rail terminal.
Va Sim Soriya, spokesman of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, said construction of the new container terminal was expected to begin next year and finish by 2022 at a total cost of $300 million...

Re: $300M port expansion plan for Sihanoukville.
Why is England shown as using the metric system ?
Do they use it for tonnage only ? If so will they reverse to their old system based on the queen's weight or whatever once the Brexit is acted ?

We have the metric system for science and stuff but still use miles and other imperial measures. Yes, you weigh people in stones. It's just nostalgia, really

Future port extension plan as shown in the PPP.
I presume there's a plan to get the railway line connected to the port. And also a plan to expand the rail capacity to transport all this extra freight. Hopefully.
