The Phnom Penh Autonomous Port (PPAP) earned over $22 million in revenue during the first half of 2025, representing an increase of more than 20% over the same period in last year. This growth came alongside a nearly 30% increase in container traffic, according to a press release from PPAP.
The publicly listed company reported that its business performance for the first half of 2025 showed a notable rise, with total revenue reaching approximately $22.09 million, up 21% from around $18.32 million in the same period in 2024.
In a breakdown of revenue, it explained that port operations generated $18.27 million (+22%), port authority services $3.13 million (+22%), and other services $682,499 (-16%).
It also broke down throughput. Cargo and fuel volume hit 2,633,459 tonnes (+16.75%), containers 258,142 TEUs (+26.16%), 1,773 cargo vessels used the port (-32.30%), while 193 passenger liners (+6.04%) carried 20,086 passengers (+11.4%).
Chea Chandara, president of the Association of Freight Forwarders and Supply Chains in Cambodia, told The Post on July 16 that the growth of agricultural output and manufactured goods in Cambodia, along with demand for imported goods, contributed to a noticeable increase in shipping activity — via land, water and air — during the first half of the year.
He noted that river-based cargo transportation had also risen significantly.
“PPAP’s revenue will continue to grow in the future, especially when the Techo Canal project — connecting Phnom Penh port to the sea — is put into operation,” he added.
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.
