Infrastructure developments in Thailand are proceeding erratically, thanks to rocky implementation and significant political shifts in the Southeast Asian country. Very little, however, is likely to impede plans to move ahead with rail and port-side improvements at Thailand’s largest port in the country’s main gateway in Laem Chabang.

The Port Authority of Thailand will build an L-shaped harbour that is 98.4 feet wide, and 393.7 to 410.1 feet in length. The water depth will average 32.8 feet and the construction costs are estimated at $55 million.

“The harbour will support one vessel with a tonnage capacity of 3,000 deadweight tonnage carrying 200 deadweight tonnage containers, and one with tonnage capacity of 1,000 deadweight tonnage carrying 100 deadweight tonnage containers. A shore crane and a container-arranging crane will be installed to support up to 300,000 [20-foot-equivalent units each] year,” PAT’s website said.
