The growth in container volume and cargo throughput in 2025 enabled the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS) to generate a profit of nearly $43 million, an increase of more than 35% over the previous year. Alongside rising vessel traffic, ongoing development and capacity expansion at the port have also continued.
The PAS annual financial report, released on March 18, shows that in 2025 the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port generated total revenue of 621,458,546 thousand riel (approximately $155.36 million), an increase of 35.33% compared to 2024. After deducting operating expenses and taxes, PAS recorded a net profit of 171,978,947 thousand riel (about $42.99 million), up 35.7% from 2024, when profit stood at approximately 126,733,629 thousand riel (around $31.68 million).
“The main drivers of increases in revenue, operating profit and net profit were higher container volumes and cargo throughput,” moted the report.
The main sources of revenue included cargo handling from ship to yard, yard handling services, marine services, storage, warehousing, and yard services, transportation, cruise vessel services, revenue from the special economic zone (SEZ, rental income and other related services.
Earlier in 2026, PAS director-general Lou Kimchhun stated that Cambodia takes pride in having the port serve as a key and independent international gateway for imports and exports. It plays an important role in addressing challenges and supporting national economic growth, while steadily developing in line with its vision and master plan to transform into a regional port and logistics hub — not only for Cambodia but also for the Mekong region and beyond.
This vision is supported by the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Government of Japan.
“PAS is committed to working with the Royal Government of Cambodia to achieve the 2050 vision of becoming a high-income country, through improving service quality, adopting digital transformation and enhancing connectivity,” noted the director-general.
