“The facility has received international recognition for its scale and strategic importance. According to the developers, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) has ranked Thanaleng Dry Port as the second-largest dry port in the Asia-Pacific region.”
“More than 1,000 delegations from governments, development organisations and companies have visited the site over the past four years to study its integrated logistics model and explore opportunities for cooperation.”
“He said the facility serves as a key link between the Laos-China Railway, Thailand’s transport network, and the wider Association of Southeast Asian Nations region, creating new opportunities for trade, investment, and cross-border transport while supporting sustainable socio-economic growth.”
“Today, around 2,000 vehicles enter and leave the dry port each day, reflecting the growing movement of goods through Laos as regional trade expands.” “Mr Chanthone said more than US$210 million has been invested in the dry port’s infrastructure together with advanced digital systems and logistics technology.”
