There are a number of ,so called, marine experts working at KMA who had decades of experience ONLY with ships of smaller size and this might be their advice to their boss who is the advisor to the president.
Yangon is handicapped
in that there is no deep water close to the city. Since colonial days
the port has been located next to the downtown on the banks of the
Yangon River. That port has a depth of only 8 or 9 meters even with
dredging, however, and there are two sandbars between the mouth of the
river and the downtown that ships with that draft can cross only at high
tide. As a result, the port can accommodate only relatively small
ships carrying up to 1,000 twenty-foot-equivalent (TEU) containers and
it can take as many as two days for a ship to navigate from the sea up
the river channel and across the sandbars to reach port. Now the
world largest container vessel, Emma Maersk is 15, 000 TEU and has draft
of 15.5 m. 1000 TEU vessel is not a ocean going vessel, it is only the
smallest feeder that carry container to handover to the real ocean going
vessel. Let's say the depth of the river can dredge up to 13 m, only
the vessel of draft most 12 m, approximately 3000 TEU vessel can
accomodate, I don't know what is the idea they want to expand the port
in downtown area, and if the port is really operated, traffic jump would
be an unavoidable problem, I just prefer to expand the Thilawar Port
area there can avoid one of the two sandbars and has a depth of 9
meters, better than the downtown port, even the one sand bar need to
train to get deeper depth, really very strange idea!
Under the patronage of
this president, years before, KMA owed millions of dollars to Myanma
Port Authority and it is not clear that money was paid back or not. KMA
had sold it's vessels to Indian scrap yards and no more a ship owner.
KMA is a real crony of both the last (Military) and present governments.
HTOO is the last government's biggest crony but not the biggest
crony,now, but KMA is. Please wait and see to confirm to which extent
this president will patronize his own crony KMA.
