China DOI: 10.29322/IJSRP.9.03.2019.p8745 http://dx.doi.org/10.29322/IJSRP.9.03.2019.p8745 Abstract – In this paper, the recent situation of Yangon Port including its capacity, navigation condition, channel constricts etc. are illustrated first. And then the future development plans for both Yangon Inner Harbour and Thilawa Port Area are described. The development of special economic zone (SEZ) near Thilawa area is also briefly simplifies. This article aims to present growth of container volumes during the last decades and the capacity constraints encountered by Yangon Port including Thilawa port area. And also reveals the ability of port capacity to accommodate the increasing trend in container volume as well as in general cargo in future seaborne trade of the country. Moreover, the facts from these studies will determine the additional strategies that are required for existing port expansion and new deep seaports construction in the maritime business. This study provides the information and specifics for recent condition of Yangon Port and future port development plans. From this, relevant strategies would be well-organized by port authorities and stakeholders to advance ports capacity constraint by improving infrastructure and facilities.

    Dawei Special Economic Zone 1. The Area Size and Location of Dawei SEZ Dawei city is the capital city of Taninthayi Region. Taninthayi Region occupies the southern part of Myanmar and borders Mon State in the north, Thailand in the east and south and Andaman sea in the west. Taninthayi Region has an area of 26777 square kilometres and a population of 1.40 million. DSEZ Project Fact The First Dawei Deep Sea Port project was announced in 2008, initially granted Italian-Thai Development Company limited along term concession to constrict the project, and attract investment as a part of the first MOU between Thailand and Myanmar. However, ITD cannot start due to lack of fund. Myanmar and Thailand government created a new plan and separated Dawei into an initial phase (up to 27 sq. km) and a full phase (196.5 sq. km). The concession agreements for the initial phase infrastructure projects (including an industrial estate and supporting infrastructure such as small power plant, small port, LNG terminal etc.) were granted on August 2015 and March 2016 to a consortium led by Italian-Thai Development Company. The concessionaires and the Myanmar government are currently fulfilling their obligations (conditions precedent) prior to the commencement of construction works. The full phase of Dawei Special Economic Zone is planning to be implemented soon after the completion of Initial Phase Project activities. 2.
