THE state-run port Authority of Thailand (PAT) has reported total revenue of THB15.613 billion (US$507.9 million) in 2021, up almost BHT1 billion from THB14.632 billion in 2020.
PAT recorded a profit of THB6.2 billion with expenses of THB9.3 billion last year. Turnover was about THB600 million higher than in 2020, said PAT director-general Kriengkrai Chaisiriwongsuk.
Of the total 2021 revenue, 70 per cent came from shipping, 12 per cent from marine transport, 9.54 per cent from land rental, 2.91 per cent from port services, and 4.89 per cent from other sources, Mr Chaisiriwongsuk added.
Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi brought in the biggest chunk of revenue at 56.9 per cent, with 42.83 per cent from Bangkok ports and 0.27 per cent from ports in other provinces.
Thai ports handled 9.8 million TEU via marine shipping, increasing from about 9 million TEU in 2020. Laem Chabang handled 8.4 million TEU, ranking 22nd in the world last year.
Phase three of the Laem Chabang Port project would see the port climb into the top 20 in the world this year, Mr Chaisiriwongsuk said.
PAT aims to launch six other new projects in 2022 to boost efficiency of ports. These are the West Bangkok Port development project, construction of a road connecting Bangkok Port and Bang Na Expressway, building a railway container transport centre, the Ranong Port development project, the dry port development project, and the launch of a national shipping line, reports THE Nation Thailand.
