2 Brief Introduction on situation of Transpor Infrastructure in Myanmar Myanmar’s Profile . Population – 54.283 Million(March,2018) India China . Area -676,578 Km² . Coastal Line - 2800 km . Road Length - approximately 150,000 km . Railways Route Length - 6110.5 Km . GDP per Capita – 1285 USD in 2018
Lao ADB’s Assessment (2014-2015) . Myanmar’s Transport system lags behind ASEAN . 60% of highways and rail lines in poor
Thailand condition . 20 million People without basic road access . $45-60 Billion investments needs (2016- 2030) Reduce transport costs by 30% Raise GDP by 13% Provide basic road access to 10 million people and save People’s lives on the roads. 4 Transport Sector Administration

* The longest rail transport network in ASEAN National Transport Master Plan & National Logistics Master Plan . Started in December, 2012 and completed in 2014 by the assistance of JICA. . Master Plan is prepared in line with- National Spatial Development Framework, Projects in MYT-Plan Regional Integration, . Road Sector (48) Projects Demographic Framework, . Rail Sector (14) Projects Environmental Framework, . Maritime Sector (15) Projects Financial Framework, . Inland Waterway (33) Projects Economic Growth, and . Air Sector (32) Projects Demand Forecast. . Total (142) Projects Transport Sector Vision “To develop an efficient, modern, safe, and environmentally - friendly transportation system in a coordinated and sustainable manner that embraces all transport modes for the benefit of the country and people of Myanmar.”
13 MYT-Plan Objectives
. To provide guidance for a long-term investment framework that will help the Government achieve its economic growth targets by 2030. . To provide guidelines that are adaptable to other industrial sectors and to private investment, . To assist with investment planning and decision making for a variety of transport sector projects. . To inform the transport sector’s development vision, by presenting a set of comprehensive policies and development strategies relevant to all modes of transport, and corresponding actions (projects) for specific modes by development corridor. . To formulate the corridor- based transport infrastructure development plan . Identified 10 development corridors that connect strategic activity hubs based on whether corridors embodied important city and economic activities.

Objectives of the Project . formulate a comprehensive logistics master plan based on Transport Master Plan with the plan target year set at 2030; . aim the enhancement of realization of a sustainable and equitable industrial development of Myanmar; . support the realization of the plans stated in the Myanmar Industrial Development Vision (MIDV) that emphasizes a creation of synergies between urban and rural areas thereby reducing regional inequalities; and . increase the level of Logistic Performance to boost industrial activities and businesses. Time Frame of this Project . The Project was started from June,2016 . Completed February, 2018.
16 National Logistics Master Plan (MYL-Plan) Major Logistics Sector Issues Present infrastructure capacity will not be able to meet with rapidly increasing domestic and trade cargo volumes Need to be upgraded to meet with requirements of transport The freight transport cost in Myanmar is twice as high as cost in others. Extending the cargo dwell time and increasing transport cost. Low cargo transport efficiency is a major cause of high transport costs. Inland waterways transport, necessary infrastructure, unable to handle cargoes using mechanical handling systems. Railway, can provide lower transport costs with higher speeds for the long- haul of bulky cargoes in programed operations, is available it has not been utilized due to substandard infrastructures. No multimodal freight transport is available due to an absence of logistics providers and a lack of logistics facilities that function as transport hubs.
