Project Summary

The Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone (KPSEZ) Deep Sea Port Project was awarded in December 2015 under a DBFOMT (Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Maintain, and Transfer) framework.

The project is implemented by Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone Deep Seaport Co., Ltd., a joint venture established in 2020 between Kyaukphyu Special Economic Zone Management Committee (KPSEZ MC) and CITIC Consortium Myanmar Port Investment Limited.

The development includes two island terminals—Made Island Port (6 berths) and Yanbye Island Port (4 berths)—covering approximately 246 hectares (600 acres). The project also includes a 15 km access road and bridge connection linking the terminals to the KPSEZ Industrial Park.

Key facilities include container and multi-purpose terminals, cargo yards, warehouses, utilities, power supply systems, water and wastewater treatment plants, and supporting administrative and operational infrastructure.

Project Summary

The Yanbye Island Port Terminal of the Project will be developed nearshore of Yanbye Island (northeastern). The project location is at about ten (10) nautical km southeast of Kyauk Phyu township. The four (4) berth multipurpose Yanbye Island Port Terminal of the Project will be developed on 96 ha (230 acres) of footprint area.

These four (4) berths include one (1) multi-purpose terminal and three (3) container terminals and will be constructed in the project’s 4th phase to handle 2.72 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) of containers and 2.6 million tons of bulk and general cargo annually. To accommodate four berths, the Yanbye Island Port Terminal of the Project has a total quay length of 1,600 m and a width of 600 m.

Project Summary

The Access Road and Bridge of the Project is one of the components of the KPSEZ DSP Project. This is designed as a major corridor, comprising a four-lane highway (two ways, with four lanes) for the Made Island Port Terminal of the project and a connecting bridge linking the oceanic trench of Yanbye and Made Island. The schematic of road design is illustrated in the figure below.

The length of the access road is about 15 km (including the bridge linkage). The access road to Made Island Port Terminal (AB, BC, DE) is a four-lane road with a width of 26.1 m. The branch access road to Yanbye Island Port Terminal of the Project (BG) is a two-lane road with a width of 14.3 m. The road layout and sections are shown in the following figures.
