Ivory shipment unveiled 2 years after arrival in SV.
A container belonging to BTM Trade and Construction, which had not been claimed more than 2 years after its arrival in the port of Sihanoukville from Africa, was opened by customs officials on Friday. Inside, packed among grains of corn, was more than 600kg of ivory.

According to Mr. Ly, the container was sent to the BTM Trade and Construction company, which is based in Kandal province’s Takhmao City, and arrived at the port in January 2014 after being shipped from Africa in November 2013, although he did not know from which country.
Representatives from the company could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Ly said officials had left the container unopened for more than two years because they were waiting for the owners to come claim it. However, after numerous invitations to the company to collect the container went unanswered, the decision was made to open it in the presence of customs officials and provincial prosecutor Lim Bunheng.
