Myanmar International Terminals Thilawa ( Burmese: မြန်မာ အပြည်ပြည်ဆိုင်ရာ ဆိပ်ကမ်း သီလဝါ, abbreviated MITT), also known as the Yangon Port International Terminal or Thilawa Port, [1] [2] is a deep river port on the Yangon River, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south of downtown Yangon in Myanmar. Thilawa Port is the largest port terminal in Myanmar [3] and, alongside the Port of Yangon, is one of the two main ports of Yangon. [2]
The facility is adjacent to the Thilawa Special Economic Zone at Thanlyin- Kyauktan area immediately south of Yangon.[ citation needed]
The international multi-purpose container port can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. [4] The port can handle up to 7,300 ships per year. [2]
Thilawa Port has a draft of 10 meters and can handle ships of up to 20,000 tons with up to 2,000 TEUs. [2] The port was expanded in early 2020, with a lower previous draft of 9 meters and a capacity of ships weighing up to 15,000 tons with up to 1,500 TEUs. [2]
Thilawa Port is wholly owned by Hutchison Port Holdings [5] and is operated by the private Hong Kong-based Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa company. [3]
