Marubeni and PTT Start a Joint Feasibility Study for an LNG Bunkering Project at Laem Chabang Port in Thailand

December 27, 2017 Marubeni Corporation Marubeni and PTT Start a Joint Feasibility Study for an LNG Bunkering Project at Laem Chabang Port in Thailand Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”) started a joint feasibility study with PTT Public Company Limited (“PTT”), Thailand`s national petroleum and petrochemical company, which aims at implementing LNG refueling to ships (“LNG bunkering”) in Laem Chabang Port, the largest industrial port in Thailand. The regulation of exhaust gas will be tightened from 2020, and since LNG is an environmentally friendly fuel, ships that use LNG for fuel (LNG fueled ships) are expected to increase. In Laem Chabang Port, where more than 8,000 ships arrive and leave annually, a third expansion plan is being implemented with the demand for LNG bunkering expected to grow in this area due to increased exports and the tightening of environmental regulations. This joint study will verify the feasibility of an LNG bunkering project that utilizes a fuel supply ship that is compatible with an existing PTT managed LNG receiving terminal in Map Ta Phut (located in Rayong, approximately 200km southeast of Bangkok). This area is called the Eastern Economic Corridor (“EEC”) in Thailand, a special economic zone where infrastructure development is being strategically implemented. The Japanese government is expressing its support and contributing to infrastructure development in the area to help bolster Thailand`s industrial development. ※EEC : A special economic zone with preferential investment treatment in three provinces located in the east of Bangkok: Rayong, Chonburi, and Chachoengsao. Marubeni will contribute not only to lowering the environmental impact by promoting the conversion of fuel to LNG, but to infrastructure development in the EEC as well. ＜Outline of PTT＞ Company Name PTT Public Company Limited Establishment October 2001 555 Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Chatuchak Sub-District, Chatuchak District, Location Bangkok, 10900 Thailand Business Upstream and downstream petroleum, coal, power, and infrastructure business ＜Service Outline＞ .

Conflict in Fishery Resource Utilization: the Case of Light Luring Anchovy Fishery in Thailand
IIFET 2000 Proceedings Conflict in Fishery Resource Utilization: The Case of Light Luring Anchovy Fishery in Thailand Ruangrai Tokrisna Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Faculty of Economics, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract. In late 1999 Artisanal Fisherman Association in Thailand requested the government to take actions in curbing destructive anchovy fishing gears. They believed that anchovy fishing was the main cause of fishery resource depletion in their fishing grounds. Main anchovy fishing gears were light luring falling net, purse seine, and scoop net. All of them are Juvenile bycatch varied from 1.72 – 30.37% of total catches depending on gear type, vessel size, fishing ground, fishing month, and fishing year. Economic losses of juvenile bycatch were $1 – 331/boat/trip. In Songkhla, the crisis problem area, economic losses from light luring falling net were as high as 0.42 – 7.64 times of the return from anchovy. The losses from light luring anchovy purse seine were 23 – 35% of the return from anchovy. The losses from light luring scoop net varied around 2 – 7%. Anchovy catch values in Thailand was $26 million in 1997. Value added from processing was $65 million, mainly from fish sauce. In spite of low value added, 59% of the catches were processed as boiled-dried/dried anchovy mainly for export. 44% of the anchovy value in the importing country were the trade margins, including tax, in importing country. Fishing cost was 20%. This cost estimation did not include the economic loss from juvenile bycatch. Processing and marketing costs in Thailand amounted to 19%.

My Voyages Through the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand
My Voyages through the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand By Geoff Walker The Andaman Sea is renowned for its stunning sunsets, beauty, and recently permitted eco-tourism. The Andaman and Nicobar Group consist of a group of about 570 islands that run virtually north and south, of which 38 are inhabited, situated at the juncture of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. This chain of islands serves as the boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west, and the Andaman Sea to the east. The territory is about 93 miles north of Aceh, the northern tip of Sumatra, in Indonesia and separated from Thailand and Myanmar by the exotic Andaman Sea. Most of the islands are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, politically administered by India, the archipelago Islands became part of India in 1950 and was declared as a union territory of the nation in 1956 and is now known as the Union Territory of India. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands (which form the southern section of the archipelago) are separated by a broad channel, known as the Ten Degree Channel. The waters and Islands of the Andaman and Nicobar group are pristine and a tourist’s paradise in every stretch of the imagination and must surely, be classified as a boutique destination for any visitor. The Andaman Sea, particularly the western coast of the Malay and Thailand Peninsula, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India and Myanmar are rich in coral reefs and offshore islands with spectacular topography. The climate is typical of tropical islands of similar latitude.

Eastern Seaboard Report
Eastern Seaboard Report October 2014 – Prepared by Mark Bowling, Chairman ESB Thailand's bearish automotive market has deterred two Japanese car makers, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and Nissan Motor, from commencing production of their new eco- car. "Our parent company has not yet approved the exact time frame for production, as the domestic market has experienced weaker growth than was enjoyed in 2012," said Masahiko Ueki, president and chief executive of Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand). "Next year's prospects are unpredictable, as the economy and consumption will take time to recover," he said. Mitsubishi was one of the five companies that applied for Board of Investment (BoI) promotion for the second phase of the eco-car scheme. All eco-car production will be done at Mitsubishi's third plant in Laem Chabang Industrial Estate in Chon Buri province. The government confirmed changes to its high-speed development plan, adding a Bangkok-Rayong route and splitting the Nong Khai-Map Ta Phut route into two — Nong Khai-Nakhon Ratchasima and Nakhon Ratchasima-Bangkok-Map Ta Phut. The Nong Khai- Map Ta Phut route would cover 737 kilometres and cost 393 billion baht, while the Chiang Khong-Phachi route would be 655 km and cost 349 billion. Two high-speed rail routes costing a combined 741 billion baht would link Thailand with southern China. Bang Na-Trat office demand up - With office rents in Bangkok's central business district rising by 15% last year and nearly 6% more so far this year, more companies are considering Bang Na-Trat Road an alternative due to its competitive rents and convenient access to both the CBD and the Eastern Seaboard.

Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan ミャンマーラオス Myanmar Laos タイ Bangkok バンコクカンボジアCambodia ChonburiチョンブリプロジェクトサイトProject site Map of project area: Bangkok-Chon Buri, Bangkok-Chon Buri Expressway Thailand 1.1 Background In the Sixth Five-Year National Economic and Social Development Plan (1987-1991), the Thai Government specified promotion of the Eastern Seaboard Development Plan as a priority project constituting a key element in the development of the country’s industrial base. This plan sought the development of the eastern coastal area extending over the three provinces of Chon Buri, Rayong, and Chachoengsao (a 80-200km zone in Bangkok’s southeastern district) as Thailand’s No. 2 industrial belt next to Bangkok with a view to developing export industries and correcting regional disparities, thereby decentralizing economic functions that would contribute to ease over-concentrated situation in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area. In response to this decision, the Ministry of Transport, Department of Highways (DOH) established the Sixth Five-Year Highway Development Plan (1987-1991), in which development of a highway network to support the development of the eastern coastal area was positioned as a top-priority project. To achieve this priority objective, the DOH planned construction of the following three routes: expansion of the highway for transport of goods and materials between Bangkok and the eastern coastal area 1 (projects (1) and (2) below), and construction of a highway linking Thailand’s inland northeastern districts to the coastal area, bypassing highly congested Bangkok (project (3) below).

Not for Quote the OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AS
Preliminary Draft: not for Quote THE OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AS A CATALYST OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND INDUSTRIAL AGGLOMERATION Matsuo WATANABE Japan Institute of International Affairs 1. INTRODUCTION This chapter is intended to investigate the contribution of infrastructure development financed by official development assistance (ODA) to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and formation of industrial agglomeration with reference to the automotive industry in Thailand. Thailand has been one of the major production bases in the ASEAN, and currently there are 700 automotive-related companies. The origin of the industry in Thailand dates back to the 1960s when the country invited foreign manufacturers, mainly Japanese, under the import substitution industrialisation (ISI) strategy. The country subsequently changed to an export-oriented strategy in the beginning of the 1970s afterwards which has led to the remarkable success of industrialisation (including automotive sector) and economic development. The success of Thai automotive industry is represented by the expansion of volume of production and export which has been the largest among ASEAN members. This expansion is enabled by a concentration of investments in the industry (known as ‘agglomeration’), among others, from foreign part suppliers in the Eastern Seaboard (ESB) area. The determinants of FDI have been analysed in number of past literature including FDI to the ASEAN economies in which provision of infrastructure as well as existence of industrial agglomeration have positive impacts on attracting FDI1. 1 For example, Kohama and Urata (2001) stress the importance of host countries’ condition in 1 This study investigates how the agglomeration of automotive industry has taken place in Thailand.

The 40th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2019) October 14-18, 2019 / Daejeon Convention Center(DCC), Daejeon, Korea TuF3-3 IDENTIFICATION OF ROAD ACCIDENT RECURRENCE IN SRI RACHA DISTRICT, CHON BURI PROVINCE Narong Pleerux, Attawut Nardkulpat Burupha University, Saensuk, Mueang, Chon Buri, 20131, Thailand Email: [email protected], [email protected] KEY WORDS: Road accident hot spot, Spatial distribution, Spatial statistic, Getis-Ord Gi*, GIS ABSTRACT: Road accidents are one of the important problems in Thailand and they cause economic losses to victims, their families, and the nation. Understanding the road accident hot spots is essential to reduce high density areas of accidents. Sri Racha district, Chon Buri province was selected as the study area. Road accident data during 2012 – 2017 from the Road Accident Data Center (ThaiRSC) were used to complete the aims of study. Spatial statistical method, Getis-Ord Gi* in Geographic Information System (GIS), was applied to identify hot spot and distribution of road accidents in Sri Racha. The finding showed 458 grid cells with six consecutive years of road accident occurrence. The maximum number of road accidents, 17, were observed at the intersection along highway No. 3 )Sukhumvit Road(. The results can be used by several agencies for planning and managing strategies for road accident reduction. Further, GIS and spatial statistical methods are effective tools which are quite widely used for accident analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION Road transportation is very important, but it causes the highest accidents compared to other modes of transportation (Dereli and Erdogan, 2017). The impact of road accidents is injuries and fatalities (Anderson, 2009).
