A total of 55 container vessels are scheduled to enter the Yangon Port in June 2026, the Myanma Port Authority announced.
Eleven container vessels run by M/S Cosco Shipping Line, nine by M/S SITC Shipping Line, six by M/S ONE Line, and five by M/S Maersk A/S Line, four each by M/S MSC Line, M/S CMA CGM Line and M/S Samudra Shipping Line, three each by M/S RCLL Line, M/S Evergreen ASIA Line and M/S Ti2 Container Line, two by M/S Land And Sea and one by M/S BLPL Shipping Line are scheduled to dock at the Yangon Port in June.
Myanma Port Authority has arranged maritime trade channels to handle increasing imports to meet domestic demand, to bolster exports, and to improve port capacity for significant arrivals of ships. Myanma Port Authority notified that it will inform exporters and importers of ship arrival schedules promptly upon an extended schedule. Yangon Port handled 57 container vessels in May, 53 in April, 59 in March, 60 each in February and 63 in January 2026. After the new navigation channel (Kings Bank Channel) accessing the inner Yangon River was found, the draft extension work was accelerated. After that, the port can now handle larger ships. The container vessel MV SITC Zhaoming (185.99-metre LOA, 35.25-metre Beam, 29,232 GRT and 2,698 TEUs) of Hong Kong-based SITC Shipping Line docked at Asia World Port Terminal for the first time on 22 June, which is the largest ship that AWPT Port handled. — NN/KK
