The traffic of Phnom Penh Autonomous Port increased 40.4 percent during the first five months of 2010, compared with the same period of last year. The increased is driven by activities of main sectors in Cambodian economy such as garment industry and agriculture sector.

Eang Veng Sun, the Phnom Penh Autonomous Port’s deputy director general, was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying that “we hope shipments this year will increase more than last year because the economy has been recovering significantly,”

Statistics from Port show that some 20,997 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units) were transported through the capital’s port in the five months through May, compared to 14,964 TEUs last year.

Month-to-month increases were also recorded, with 4,783 TEUs shipped in May, compared to 4,207 in April, the statistics showed.
