Multimodal Transport Boosts Links

Responding to the national logistics strategy to link distribution networks with production centers and ports, PAT is to set up a Single Rail Transfer Operator (SRTO) at Laem Chabang Port (LCP), and promote a Modal Shift from road to freight trains. Multimodal transport, which includes coastal feeder, will increase convenience and safety while ensuring transportation cost savings and relieving traffic congestion.

Although BKP is only allowed by government policy to handle 1.34 million TEUs, operational efficiency still needs to be upgraded by meeting customers’ demand to strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness. Thus, port investment will aim at improving services, operational efficiency, costs, and infrastructure by replacing dilapidated mechanical handling equipment and installing modern ones.
