BUTEN Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of BUTEN
Tenasserim Port is the seaport of Tanintharyi region, in the city of Tanintharyi regionin Myanmar. Overseas routes include Southeast Asia, Port code is BUTEN.
Port Overview
Tenasserim (UN/LOCODE: BUTEN) is recorded in the supplied master data under Tanintharyi Region, Myanmar. For freight-planning purposes, our service team treats BUTEN as a regional place and transport reference rather than automatically equating it with a large container gateway. The Tanintharyi area is long, coastal and relatively dispersed, so cargo movements may require coordination between local collection points, road transport, nearby coastal or international gateways, and the final delivery location. Direct vessel availability, terminal handling, container equipment, customs arrangements and inland accessibility must be confirmed for each shipment before booking. Our platform can compare the requested BUTEN delivery point with practical routing alternatives and identify whether the cargo should be manifested to a different confirmed gateway.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
Facility selection for BUTEN must be based on the actual booking confirmation and cargo profile. Our service team does not infer terminal capabilities from the UN/LOCODE alone.
- Container handling: confirm whether the nominated location accepts FCL, empty-container release, reefer equipment and out-of-gauge cargo before accepting the order.
- Breakbulk and project cargo: arrange cargo-specific lifting, lashing, berth or truck access separately; do not assume standard container-terminal handling.
- Warehousing and consolidation: use a confirmed local warehouse or a gateway CFS for stuffing, devanning, tallying and temporary storage.
- Customs and inspection: customs availability, inspection location and document submission procedures require confirmation with the appointed broker or carrier.
- Road collection and delivery: vehicle type, axle limits, ferry or bridge crossings, loading access and escort requirements should be checked before dispatch.
Routes & Transit Times
- For international FCL, our platform first checks whether the requested booking can be accepted at BUTEN; where no suitable ocean service is confirmed, cargo may need movement through another Myanmar gateway or a regional transshipment hub.
- For LCL, the practical route normally depends on the nominated consolidation warehouse, export customs point and final-mile delivery arrangement rather than on the place code alone.
- For coastal, feeder or barge-related options, sailing windows, cargo acceptance and weather exposure must be confirmed individually; no fixed direct service or schedule should be presumed.
- Total transit time is affected by equipment positioning, cargo readiness, customs inspection, road conditions, seasonal rainfall, transshipment connection and final delivery access. Our quotations should therefore show the routing basis and remain subject to carrier confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
The relevant hinterland is Tanintharyi Region and its dispersed coastal and inland communities. Cargo planning should reflect local production, project requirements and the availability of transport equipment rather than assuming high-volume container flows.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off and acceptance: booking cut-off, documentation cut-off, gate-in deadline and cargo acceptance must be obtained from the actual carrier, terminal or consolidation facility; local place coding does not establish a cut-off time.
- Dangerous goods: provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS and packing certificate where applicable. DG acceptance, segregation and inland transport approval require written confirmation.
- Documents: verify commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading instructions, permits, certificates of origin and any commodity-specific approvals before cargo dispatch.
- Inspection and inland delivery: allow contingency for customs examination and coordinate truck access, unloading equipment, consignee attendance and proof of delivery in advance.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the exact shipper, consignee, cargo description, HS code, dimensions, weight, packing type, delivery coordinates and requested Incoterm before rate checking.
- Ask us to confirm the operational gateway, place of receipt, port of loading, port of discharge and final delivery point separately; avoid using BUTEN as an assumed port of loading or discharge.
- For machinery, long cargo or heavy units, provide drawings and center-of-gravity information early so that route surveys, lifting arrangements and suitable equipment can be evaluated.
- Build schedule margin for equipment release, road access, weather, inspection and transshipment. Our quotation should be accepted only after the carrier and local handling chain confirm feasibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I book a standard container directly to BUTEN?
- Not automatically. BUTEN is a regional place reference in the supplied data, so our team must verify carrier acceptance, equipment availability, terminal handling and the final delivery arrangement before confirming a direct booking.
- Which port should appear on the bill of lading?
- The bill of lading should reflect the carrier-confirmed port of loading, discharge and place of delivery. We recommend not inserting BUTEN as a sea port unless the nominated carrier explicitly accepts that coding and routing.
- Is LCL service available for this destination?
- LCL feasibility depends on the consolidation warehouse, export gateway, deconsolidation point and inland delivery. Our service team can evaluate a gateway-based LCL solution after receiving the cargo and delivery details.
- What is the main risk for oversized or project cargo?
- The key risks are road access, bridge or axle restrictions, lifting availability, transloading and consignee unloading capability. A route and handling review should be completed before cargo is packed or dispatched.
- Can you guarantee a transit time to Tenasserim?
- No fixed transit time should be guaranteed from the place code alone. Our team will provide an indicative schedule only after the actual gateway, carrier, inland route and customs process are confirmed.

No unverified berth count, water depth, terminal capacity, handling charge, sailing frequency, carrier commitment or transit-time statistic is presented. Facility availability, customs procedures, cut-offs, routing and inland access are operational items that our service team confirms with the appointed carrier, handling agent, broker and consignee before shipment execution.
