Développement de notre port maritime de Sihanoukville


Le transport par le port fluvial de Phnom Penh doit passer par le Vietnam. Il n'est, donc, pas indépendant. C'est ce qui se passait durant la période colonial. Notre commerce indépendant passe par notre premier port maritime de Sihanoukville. Pour diminuer les coûts de transport terrestre il est nécessaire de développer les entreprises à proximité même de Sihanoukville. Le Japon est en train de terminer l'infrastructure d'un vaste Zone Économique Spécial (ZES). D'autres ZES aux environs de notre premier port maritime est en construction. Après on creusera un chenal pour permettre à des bateaux de 100 000 tonnes et plus d'atteindre notre port. Nos côtes présentent des conditions idéales pour un grand avenir : des bords de mer avec des îles enchanteresses avec comme arrière-pays la Chaîne des Cardamomes pour la villégiature. On vient déjà d'inaugurer notre premier port maritime de 900 mètres entre Koh Puos et le continent. Il est important aussi de développer notre implantation dans l'île de Way. Les courses de voiliers entre cette île et la côte peut devenir un trajet sportif international. Pour le moment nous pouvons développer un trajet touristique vers cette île.

 

Economic zone almost complete

Preah Sihanouk province

WORK on the US$40 million Sihanoukville Port Special Economic Zone 1 (SEZ) is due to be completed at the end of this year, SEZ managing director Lou Kim Chhun says.

The project aims to attract manufacturers to set up shop near the Kingdom’s only deepwater port.

Development of the SEZ began in November, 2009 on a 68-hectare site. It was funded by a soft loan from Japan and built by Dai Ho Corporation.

“We’re spending about $40 million to develop the infrastructure, roads, water, power, and administration facilities, all of which are nearly completed,” Lou Kim Chhun said.

The SEZ will offer on-site services such as logistics firms and representatives of government ministries, with the aim of making it easier for manufacturers to base there.

Its location next to the port would also make transport easier, Lou Kim Chhun said.

“We will accept assembly plants of all kinds [in the SEZ], including vehicles, electronic goods and manufacturing plants making things such as umbrellas, shoes and clothing,” he said.

Asking prices for rentals are between US$50 and $65 per square metre a month, with contracts for 50 years.

SEZ officials were negotiating with investors, particularly from Japan, South Korea and China, Lou Kim Chhun said.

“We get a lot of investors who want to invest and open their business in the zone.

“We’re still discussing the prices for renting the space, but it’s good news for us.

“It’s not a problem. Once we agree on prices, the zone will soon be full.”

The SEZ was experiencing particular interest from Jap-anese, South Korean and Chi-nese investors, Lou Kim Chhun said.

Council for the Development of Cambodia deputy secretary- general in charge of SEZs Chea Vuthy said the projects were designed to facilitate business in Cambodia.

“The Sihanoukville SEZ has lots of potential for investors to do business in the zone, because it’s next to the port and it will be easier to export products,” he said.

The CDC has approved 21 SEZs across the Kingdom. Four have opened so far: the Manhattan SEZ; the Tai Seng Bavet SEZ, in Svay Rieng Province; the Phnom Penh SEZ; and the Sihanoukville SEZ 2.

Two other projects, the Sihanoukville SEZ 1 and the Neang Kok Koh Kong SEZ, in Koh Kong province, are under construction.

In February, the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone announced that all the sites in its first phase had been spoken for and work was beginning on phase two.

Nation’s first sea bridge opens

Phnom Penh Post

Sihanoukville
CAMBODIA’S first sea-spann-ing bridge was inaugurated by Prime Minister Hun Sen in a ceremony at Sihanoukville yesterday.

The 900-metre structure, referred to as Techo Morakat Bridge, links Sihanoukville to the island of Koh Puos.

The Russian company Koh Puos (Cambodia) Investment Group is developing Koh Puos into a luxury tourist resort called Morakot Island.

Construction of the US$31 million bridge, undertaken by China’s state-owned Sino-hydro Construction Corporat-ion, has taken three years.

KPIG cited the economic downturn as the cause of various setbacks in the project.

With the exception of unforeseen delays in the bridge’s development, the“exclusive” project was on schedule, KPIG board chairman Alexey Chepa said yesterday.

Phase one of construction, including the island’s residential homes, was due to begin this year, Chepa said.

Work on the residential precinct, comprising 36 seafront villas and low-rise apartment buildings set on 100,000 square metres, would begin next month, he said.

The island’s utilities and infrastructure are set for completion next year.

“I hope that Morakot Island will boost and change [the image of] Sihanoukville, providing a high standard of living within the Asian region, which will attract more investors and tourists,” Chepa said.

KPIG director of sales and marketing Marina Khrisanova said last week prices for the vill-as, which range in size from 450 square metres to 570 square metres, would range from $1 million.

The cost would depend on factors such as plot size and interior decor, she said.

“A number of the villas have been reserved by high-net-worth clients … from Cambodia and also foreign middle and high class.”

Hun Sen praised KPIG during his speech at the bridge inaug-uration, saying he appreciated the company’s efforts, despite the unfavourable business climate in 2008 and 2009.

“The development of the island reflects participation from the private sector to boost social and economic development,” he said.

“It also mirrors the confidence of foreign investors in Cambodian security and political stability.”

Hun Sen said Preah Sihan-ouk province was now considered to be the Kingdom’s third economic hub after the capital, Phnom Penh, and the historic tourist destinations of Angkor Wat and Siem Reap.

“From 2015 to 2020, Cambodia will develop a fourth hub in the country’s northeast.

“It will have potential for eco-tourism, agro-industry and the exploitation of mineral resources.”

This fourth economic centre would incorporate the provinces of Kratie, Steung Treng, Mondulkiri and Rattanakiri, the premier said.
