For enterprises engaged in China-Myanmar trade, when the goods have the characteristics of large volume, heavy weight, low value density, and not strict requirements for timeliness, sea transport is undoubtedly the lowest cost and most economically efficient mode of transportation.
one Why is 大宗 首团海运?
Cost advantage: The unit transportation cost is extremely low, and the average transportation fee of a standard container (TEU) or a whole ship is far lower than that of air transportation and land transportation.
Huge capacity: Modern container ships and bulk cargo ships can easily carry several thousand tons or even tens of thousands of tons of goods, suitable for steel, building materials, machinery, chemical fertilizers, grain, etc.
High security: the cargo is packaged in a container or in a ship’s cabin, the transportation process is stable, and the rate of cargo loss is low.
二、 The core process of 海运至Myanmar
The shipping process involves multi-party collaboration, and the main steps are shown in the figure below:

三、key port analysis: 仰光港 vs. 皎漂港
Features 仰光港 (Yangon Port) 皎漂港 (Kyaukpyu Port)
Geographical location It is located in the largest city in Myanmar, 河流入海口, about 32 kilometers away from the ocean. It is located in the 皎意电影特区 of the western part of Myanmar, facing the Indian Ocean.
Nature of the port 河港/海港 (吃水机), Myanmar’s traditional core port, 80-90% of the country’s import and export goods are handled here. 深海港, is the strategic hub of China’s “一带一路” and China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, with the ability to berth large offshore ships.
Deep water conditions The deep water is relatively shallow (about 9 meters), and can only accommodate branch ships and barges with relatively shallow water (usually under 100,000 tons).
Radiation area Burma’s core economic district: Directly serves the dense industrial and population centers of Yangon and its surrounding areas, and radiates throughout the country through highways and inland river networks. Western Burma and along the line: Directly connected to China through the China Burma oil pipeline and planned highways and railways, bypassing 马六甲海峡, of great strategic significance.
Advantages 1. Mature facilities: wharf, warehouse, log office, logistics supporting industry.
- 航线内集: 往来海线船班次多的技线船班次多
- Wide coverage: 是通往Myanmar’s main market door. 1. Deep water advantage: 可降本型数,直达large-scale distant ocean vessels.
- Strategic position: It is an important alternative channel for China’s energy and trade transportation, with high safety.
- Development potential: As the core of the economic district, the future potential is unlimited.
Disadvantages 1. Water depth restrictions: Can’t dock large ships, need to be transferred to ports in Singapore, etc., increase cost and time. - Congestion problem: The port is old, the capacity of the port is close to saturation, and it is easy to cause congestion and delay. 1. Inadequate facilities: It is still in the early stages of development, and the facilities for logistics, storage, and transportation are not perfect.
- Weak economy in the surrounding area: The industrial and economic activities in the surrounding area are sparse, and the demand for goods is limited.
- Lines are rare: At present, the main service is oil and gas transportation, and ordinary commercial shipping containers are very few.
Applicable goods: Almost all types of import and export goods, especially daily consumer goods, industrial products, construction materials, etc. Currently, the main products are oil and gas. After the future matures, it is suitable for large-scale energy, ore, large-scale engineering equipment, etc. goods directly transported to the west of China. - Conclusion and recommendation
Current choice: For large cargo bound for Myanmar at this stage, Yangon Port is still the only mainstream choice. Although it requires transit and may be congested, its mature network and abundant routes ensure the accessibility and reliability of logistics.
Future outlook: 皮意港 is a strategic asset that changes the rules of the game. Its overall operation will significantly reduce logistics costs and time, and reshape the regional logistics system.
Operating instructions:
Advance planning: Reserve sufficient time to deal with possible congestion and delays at Yangon Port.
专业支件: 上必根是来事来源上海全电影术关和货运支件下载清关和内陆起关, this is the key to smooth traffic.
Document accuracy: Ensure all shipping and reporting documents are 100% accurate, no matter what Discrepancies (不符点) may lead to 东级海关严 inspection and fines.
In short, 海运 is the lifeline of Myanmar’s large goods, and 仰光港 is the core hub of this lifeline. Pay close attention to the development of 皮漂港, and it will bring new strategic opportunities for future trade layout.
