Descripción:Laem Chabang (Thai: แหลมฉบัง, pronounced [lɛ̌ːm tɕʰābāŋ]) is a city (thesaban nakhon) in Chonburi Province, Thailand. It covers the tambon Bang Lamung of Bang Lamung district, and the complete tambon Bueng, Sura Sak, Thung Su Khla and parts of Nong Kham of Si Racha district. As of 2006 it has a population of 61,801.

Transport

It is home to Thailand's largest port by the same name, about 25 kilometres north of Pattaya, and south of the city Chon Buri. Starting in 1988, a major development to encourage development outside Bangkok and take advantage of proximity to the Gulf of Thailand, was the Laem Chabang container port that was completed in 1991.[1] As of 2005 it is the 23rd busiest container port in the world. Much of the international shipping reaching Thailand goes through Laem Chabang. It is a stopping point for Princess Cruises.

As a port town, the economy is based on shipping services, as well as retail and tourism. The town is being marketed along with Bang Lamung township as an alternative to Pattaya. Sukhumvit Road goes through the town.

Sports

It has world class golf courses, such as the Laem Chabang International Country Club designed by Jack Nicklaus. It also has an ExxonMobil refinery.

Economy

Two large infrastructure projects worth a total of 36 billion baht, both railways, have been approved on October 23, 2007, to be built to link up Korat and Lat Krabang with Laem Chabang.[2] This shows central government commitment to developing the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand, of which Laem Chabang plays a key role.

Thai Sea Ports

There are two major deep sea ports under the operation of The Port Authority of Thailand: Laem Chabang, which possesses various industrial and free-trade zone facilities, is capable of handling Super Post Panamax ships, and is the kingdom’s most important international port, and the Port of Bangkok (Klong Toei), whose bonded warehouse offers such value-added services as online inventory account reporting.

As the gate to the Asia Pacific, Laem Chabang is the important deep sea port in Thailand. In 2004, the port handled 3.5 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equipment Units), representing 70 percent of all goods moved through Thai ports. In 2009, the volume was estimated to increase to 10.8 million TEUs. The Port of Bangkok is connected to the central areas of Thailand. It operates efficiently at about 1 million TEUs, therefore Laem Chabang is the main sea port in Thailand with a bigger size and higher handlings.

There are other interesting ports which help facilitate international trade such as Sriracha Harbor Deep Seaport which is Thailand’s first and largest private port. The ports of Chiang Saen and Chian Khong facilitate trade between Thailand and Southern China. Chiang San connects North and North-East Thailand with South China through the Mekong River. This route helps reduce the cost of shipping goods from these areas to Bangkok and sent via sea freight to China. Most of the goods sent through the port are agricultural products, such as dried longan and raw rubber materials. Map Ta Phut is the gateway to industrial areas in southern and southeastern Thailand and Thailand’s largest industrial port, serving Thailand’s heavy industries.

Major Ports in Thailand:

* Bangkok - Port capacity approximately 1.3 million TEU. Its bonded warehouse now offers several value-added services such as online inventory account reporting, more equipment for lifting and moving goods, and expansion of storage areas.

* Laem Chabang - One of Asia’s leading ports and the most important commercial deep-sea port of Thailand. In 2003, TEU capacity was 3.04 million. After completion of its Phase 2 development (see article), which includes six new container terminals and a passenger terminal, it will have a total capacity of nearly 10.5 million TEU/year. The private sector will be invited to operate these terminals.

* Chiang Saen and Chiang Khong - Located in Chiang Rai province, these ports serve as Thailand’s gateway to Southern China, especially with Yunnan Province. Trade with Yunnan through Chiang Saen Port increased from THB 1.1 billion in 2000 to THB 3.2 billion in 2002. Chiang Rai’s ports service the Upper Mekong Subregion as part of the Quadrangle Economic Cooperation Project to link trade of Thailand, China, Laos and Myanmar. A second Chiang Saen Port is expected to be opened in 2006.

* Map Ta Phut - Located in Rayong Province, Map Ta Phut is primarily a petrochemical complex. Its Phase 2 development requires steel and petrochemical handling facilities which require private sector investment.

* Songkhla Port - The only international port on the Southeast coast with 150,000 TEU annually servicing transport to Malaysia. Its expansion plan includes modification of the three existing berths and construction of fourth and fifth container berths

* Phuket Port - With 86,000 TEU annually, it is currently the only international port on the west coast of the South. Its expansion plan covers construction of a passenger wharf and a container berth.

* Narathiwat - Located in the south, Narathiwat is planned to accommodate the AFTA Free Trade Zone and Export Processing Zone for halal food.

* Satoon on the Andaman Sea will serve the growing trade with countries west of Thailand and to handle break bulk cargo and containers.

* Ranong - Just opened in December 2003, its expansion plan forecasts completion within 2 years to accommodate increased trade in South Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Ranong will also provide links with Myanmar and other countries in the Indian Ocean.

Laem Chabang Port

Laem Chabang Port is situated in the districts of Sriracha and Banglamung of Chol Buri Province, at a distance of about 130 kilometers from Bangkok. The port covers an area of around 2,506 acres.

The Laem Chabang Port's policy of development is focused on enabling the port to accommodate post panamax size ships and to be the transhipment hub of Indo-China region. LCP has been developed to be international standard port and was recently announced by Cargonews Asia to be one of the five best ports in Asia along with Hong Kong, singapore, Malaysia and Philippines.

Major LCP development are as follows :-

1. Provision of modern mechanical handling equipment together with NAVIS system for port management and container terminal.

2. Promoting container operators and shipping lines to bring in mother ships to the port since 1996. Currently there are 5 major liners directly call at the port that help reduce the expenses on transhipment in neighboring countries. This results in less overall cost for Thailand's import and export.

3. The port traffic dramatically increased from 1,360 TEU in 1991 to 1,036,063 TEU in 1997 and 1.75 million TEU in 1999.

4. Phase I development is nearly completed with the maximum capacity of 1.65 million TEU. Meanwhile, the initial stage of Phase II has been started to serve up to 3.5 million TEU in 2010. The first terminal under Phase II development was completed and is under the process of selecting the terminal operator.

PAT is also selecting the operator for the Multi-purpose terminal. The result is expected to be announced by the end of this year.

Since 1947, Bangkok Port or Klongtoey Port has been the main commercial port for Thailand with constantly improving services and technology. This facility, however, is unable to accommodate ships of size exceeding 12,000 deadweight tonnes (DWT), length greater than 172 metres, or draught of more than 8 metres in relation to the mean sea level. Consequently the Port Authority of Thailand has had to seek a location for a deep-sea port to facilitate large ships in the interest of expanding contributions to the national economy.

In 1961, the government commissioned NEDECO (Netherlands Engineering Consultants) to conduct a feasibility study on developing a new port in Chon Buri’s Sriracha District. The study concluded that the best location was Laem Chabang because the site was well sheltered, could easily be dredged, and had capacious hinterland for the construction of port facilities, warehouses, and industrial estates.

Despite the aforesaid feasibility study, the construction of Laem Chabang Port was delayed. Land expropriation only began in 1973 with a total of 6,340 rai (1,014 hectares) of land in Tambon Thung Sukhala, Sriracha District and Tambon Bang Lamung, Bang Lamung District of Chon Buri being allocated to this key port project.

The move was in response to the 5th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1982 – 1986), which also prescribed industrial estates for small- and medium-sized factories in Laem Chabang area. As stated in the 6th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1987 – 1991), Bangkok Port had already reached its full capacity because it was unable to accommodate large ships and had no further space for more containers.

When the site was ready for construction to start, the prime minister at that time, General Prem Tinsulanonda, presided over the foundation-stone-laying ceremony for Laem Chabang Port on 15 November 1987. Four years later, the government, in collaboration with some private investors, initiated the port’s commercial services. B1 was the first terminal to come into operation.
