Govt ready to delay sea port project

Transport Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan said the ministry would consider delaying or cancelling the plan to construct the third phase of the Laem Chabang deepsea port project in Pattaya and the Pakbara port project in Satul after the private sector propos

 

He added that currently the Laem Chabang port utilised only half of its capacity, while the phase-2 construction was yet to be finished. He is also concerned that the plan to construct phase 3 of the Laem Chabang port could cause environmental problems.
