Thailand seeks to formulate a clear development plan for dry ports, which function as cross-border facilities or inland container terminals and are connected via GMS economic corridors. The dry ports should also be maximized by considering connections with other important ports in the GMS, such as Dawei, Myanmar; Sihanoukville, Cambodia; and HCMC, Viet Nam. The TA study will determine the need for dry ports at strategic rail locations on international borders. TABLE A- II.

The TA project may be implemented in two steps:(i) small-scale assistance in scoping out the required database (including individual country database activities), and a GMS secretariat and coordination function for a concept paper for large-scale capacity development; and (ii) a large-scale standardized and integrated database capacity- building assistance targeted at Cambodia, the Lao PDR, and Myanmar, but incorporating data from the PRC,Thailand, and Viet Nam.

However, the railway line is in poor condition. The project will contribute to the improvement of passenger, freight, and logistics transport on this line. Given that the line is part of the SKRL and Trans-Asian Railway (TAR) networks, Thailand has already conducted a full feasibility study on the Laem Chabang–Bangkok– Kanchanaburi–Ban Phu Nam Ron (border crossing) section. A feasibility study for Myanmar’s Htikhee– Dawei missing link has not yet been done, however.The feasibility study for an extension of the Dawei–Mawlamyine section is expected to be conducted as soon as possible, to promote the continuity of the TAR corridor 7 Transport Sector This TA project will support the next phase of 2017 2.0 ADB-2.0 Ongoing.
