relating to the Development, Operation and Management of the
Myanmar Crude Oil Pipe Line Project was signed between the
Ministry of Energy of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and
China National Petroleum Corporation of China.

o The total investment amount of the project is estimated over US$

2.0 billions. The construction works of the oil and gas terminal
shall be completed by 2013.

o Construction of the Work-boat Wharf at the project area was

completed in May 2011.

o West-East Economic Corridor Working Group has
identified to develop deep sea port supporting with
industrial estate at Kalagauk area where it was
Thailand stretched and covered between Mawlamyine and Ye
coast line in Mon State.
o West-East Economic Corridor (WEC) route will act as a
land bridge linking India Ocean in the Pacific, cutting
KALAGAUK
the distance of the conventional circuitous sea route
passing the Malacca Strait by almost two third.
o The Project will certainly benefit the countries along the
corridor such as Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia, Thailand
and China as well.
o Development of deep sea port will serve access port as
a gate way of WEC at west side.
o So, it will be realistic to conduct feasibility study on
development of said project

Investment Opportunities in Myanmar
 Investment Environment
In  general,  policy objective underlying foreign investment are for: ‐
o promotion and expansion of exports;
o exploitation of natural resources, which require heavy investment;
o acquisition of high technology;
o supporting and assisting production and services involving large 
capital;
o opening up of more employment opportunities; 
o development of works which would save energy consumption; and
o regional development.
Partnership Opportunities
o Public Investment

o 100% Investment under Build, Operate and Transfer

basic by Foreign and/or Local Investors.

o Joint-Venture between MPA and Foreign and/or local

Investors.

o Grant aids or soft loan financed by international

financial institute.
 Inter-modal Connections in Myanmar

Improvements in both capacity and connectivity between different

modes of transport, ICDs and freight terminals can result in more
efficient handling of containerized cargoes, thereby reducing
transportation costs and providing transport opportunities for inland
areas.
Development of different transport modes and intermodal
connections to major sea ports is particularly important for landlocked
countries such as Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bhutan, the Lao
People’s Democratic Republic, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia,
Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Regional cooperation
in improving the intermodal connections of the Asian Highway network
to these landlocked countries would ensure improved access to
maritime transport and thus to extended global markets.
 Inter-modal Connections in Myanmar

In addition, to realize fully the

trade benefits that roads can
provide, investment is also required
in important complementarities
such as improving facilities and
efficiency at ports, ICDs and border
crossing points. In that regard,
cooperation between member
countries is desirable in
standardizing and harmonizing
border crossing and customs
clearance procedures and in
overcoming bottlenecks in the
transport chain that cause delays
during modal changes.
Conclusion
o In order to achieve sustained economic development of 
the country, market‐oriented economy has already been 
lunched  and  appropriate  measures  for  economic 
reforms and liberalization  were also initiated.
o For the all round development of Port Sector, potential 
investors from local and foreign are warmly welcome to 
participate for port development activities.
