The Port Authority of Thailand plans to open bids for a container freight station project worth 1.3 billion baht at Bangkok port, known as Klong Toey port, this year. PAT director-general Sutthinan Hatthawong said bidding will be held to seek a contractor to build the CFS facility to enhance the port’s capacity in handling up to 120,000 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units outbound shipping containers per year. The agency is drafting the terms of reference in preparation for the bidding, Lt Sutthinan said, adding the station is expected to open in 2019. The CFS is among eight port development projects valued at 97.9 billion baht under PAT’s five-year plan from 2017-2021.
