Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 29 – Transport minister Sun Chanthol said the ministry is studying the possibility to build waterway transport, connecting Phnom Penh’s Bassac river to the coastal Kep province, which can boost the kingdom’s imports and exports.

Sun Chanthol spoke at the ministry’s annual meeting on 28 January 2022.

The new waterway transport will reduce the current transport distance of 80 kilometers. It will be built on the natural waterway, requiring just an additional man-made 5-km canal.
