The Phnom Penh Autonomous Port (PPAP) generated over $27 million in revenue during the first seven months of 2025, an increase of nearly 20% compared to the same period in 2024. July alone brought in more than $5 million, according to a statement from the port.
The statement from the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) listed PPAP explained that from January to July, the port earned a total revenue of approximately $27.22 million — a 19.64% increase compared to around $22.75 million during the same period in 2024.
Of that amount: $22.72 million came from port operations, a 21% increase, $3.72 million from port authority revenue, up 20%, and $784,024 from other services, which fell by 15%.
Chea Chandara, president of the Association of Freight Forwarders and Supply Chains in Cambodia, told The Post that the growing intensity of both domestic and international trade has led to a continued increase in cargo volume passing through both Phnom Penh Autonomous Port and Sihanoukville Autonomous Port. He added that this figure will likely continue to grow as Cambodian products receive more orders from international markets.
“The rise in agricultural production and other goods from factories across Cambodia is boosting the movement of cargo, especially exports to international markets. Generally, waterway transportation allows for higher volumes at lower costs compared to land and air transport,” he noted.
In 2024, PPAP earned approximately $41 million in revenue, a 21% increase over 2023, while container throughput grew by nearly 500,000 TEUs.
Currently, PPAP has seven terminals: three in Phnom Penh, two in Kandal province, one in Prey Veng and one in Tboung Khmum. They play a crucial role in transporting agricultural products and heavy goods.
