Dry port sets hopes on Belt and Road
The country’s first dry port will be built near Myitnge, in Amarapura township, Mandalay Region, and join the Belt and Road network, said U Myo Win, general manager from Myanma Railways (Upper Myanmar).
“It is a two-year project under UNESCAP agreement between governments,” he said. UNESCAP refers to the United Nations Economic Social Commission Asia Pacific. The dry port is 75-acres wide and will feature all functions like a sea port, he added. A dry port is a port situated near sea. It is an inland terminal which is directly connected to a maritime port.
