KHKKZ Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of KHKKZ
Koh Kong Port is the seaport of Koh kong, in the city of Koh kongin Cambodia. Overseas routes include Southeast Asia, Port code is KHKKZ.
Koh Kong Port, Cambodia — KHKKZ
Koh Kong provincial port, identified by UN/LOCODE KHKKZ, is a small coastal and transshipment port system in southwestern Cambodia near the Thai border. The supplied port profile describes three linked operating points: Paklong for arrival formalities, Koh Kong town for unloading or onward transshipment, and Sre Ambel for smaller-vessel distribution. The port is designed for shallow-draft and low-deadweight vessel operations rather than conventional container-liner calls. Our platform therefore treats KHKKZ as a project-specific coastal gateway requiring advance vessel, cargo, customs and landing-point confirmation. Road access to Cambodia’s wider network is constrained in the supplied profile, so cargo planning should focus on sea or coastal feeder continuity and on the available warehouse and transshipment arrangements in Koh Kong town.

Decision Points for Freight Planning
- Our team classifies KHKKZ as a small-vessel coastal gateway, not a standard full-container deep-sea terminal.
- Paklong is described as the first call for customs clearance and related formalities for vessels arriving from Singapore, Malaysia or Thailand.
- The supplied profile indicates acceptance of approximately 300-tonne vessels at the operating point and up to 500 tonnes at anchorage; these figures require confirmation for the actual voyage.
- Koh Kong town supports unloading, cargo handling and possible transshipment to smaller vessels, with limited warehousing.
- Congestion, limited facilities and the Sre Ambel restriction to approximately 120–130-tonne vessels can materially affect routing and handling plans.
Available Handling Configuration
Paklong clearance point
Our service team coordinates the vessel’s first-call formalities at Paklong when required. Customs, immigration, health and port-agent requirements must be confirmed before sailing.
Koh Kong town handling
The supplied profile identifies Koh Kong town as an unloading and transshipment location for cargo moving onward to smaller vessels.
Sre Ambel distribution
Sre Ambel is described as a smaller provincial port with a vessel limitation of approximately 120–130 tonnes. Our team will verify suitability against the planned vessel and cargo.
Warehousing and storage
Some warehousing is reported in Koh Kong town to support transshipment activity. Availability, cargo security, storage duration and handling equipment must be booked in advance.
Container capability
No regular container-terminal infrastructure or FCL/LCL service capability is established in the supplied data. Containerized cargo requires a case-by-case feasibility review.
Road and rail interface
No rail connection is indicated. The supplied profile states that road access to the rest of Cambodia is absent or highly constrained; our team will confirm the current inland leg before quotation.
Routing Structure and Schedule Risks
- Regional coastal approach: The supplied profile references vessel arrivals from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. These should be treated as potential regional origins, not guaranteed liner services or fixed sailings.
- Multi-point sequence: A typical movement may involve arrival and clearance at Paklong, discharge or transshipment at Koh Kong town, and onward movement to Sre Ambel or another local destination.
- Transit-time drivers: Actual timing depends on vessel availability, anchorage conditions, customs clearance, tidal and weather conditions, cargo readiness, congestion and the need for vessel-to-vessel transfer.
- Schedule policy: Our platform will quote timing only after confirming the vessel, port sequence, cargo dimensions, clearance location and local handling plan.
Local Distribution and Cargo Profile
- Service area: KHKKZ primarily supports Koh Kong and nearby southwestern coastal communities, with onward coastal distribution rather than broad Cambodian inland coverage.
- Fishing activity: The port is also identified as an important fishing port. Fishery-related cargo may require temperature control, sanitary documentation and rapid handling arrangements.
- General coastal cargo: Small-lot project materials, building supplies, provisions and other breakbulk or general cargo may be suitable where vessel capacity and landing conditions are confirmed.
- Transshipment cargo: Cargo arriving on a larger small vessel may need transfer at Paklong or Koh Kong town before movement on a smaller vessel, increasing handling exposure and documentation requirements.
Controls Our Team Applies Before Booking
- Cut-off management: There is no standard container-terminal cut-off published in the supplied data. Our team obtains the port agent’s cargo, vessel, customs and documentation deadlines before accepting the booking.
- Vessel and draft suitability: The shipper must provide dimensions, gross weight, package count, lifting points and dangerous-goods status. Acceptance remains subject to the actual vessel, berth or anchorage conditions.
- Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information and any permits must be aligned with the declared clearance point. Customs formalities at Paklong should not be assumed to cover later transshipment legs without confirmation.
- Dangerous goods and inspection: IMDG classification, safety data sheets, packing certificates and advance approval may be required. Congestion and limited handling facilities can make late DG changes or customs inspections especially disruptive.
Practical Recommendations from Our Service Team
- Send cargo specifications and the preferred delivery point early so we can test the full Paklong–Koh Kong–Sre Ambel sequence before booking.
- Use seaworthy, clearly marked packaging suitable for repeated lifting and possible vessel-to-vessel transshipment; protect moisture-sensitive cargo against open-air exposure.
- Separate cargo requiring special permits, hazardous-goods approval, refrigeration or oversized handling and obtain acceptance before cargo dispatch.
- Keep a contingency plan for additional handling, coastal feeder substitution or an alternative Cambodian or Thai gateway if local capacity, weather or customs clearance prevents the planned movement.
KHKKZ Operational FAQ
Reference Basis and Verification Boundary
The port code, name, country, city, coordinates and operating description in this module are based primarily on the supplied KHKKZ port master data. Vessel-capacity figures and the three-point operating sequence are reproduced as qualified information from that supplied profile, not as a current guarantee of navigational or terminal acceptance.
For code and location-reference verification, our team may cross-check the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe domain: unece.org.
Customs procedures, permits, inspection requirements, port-agent instructions, vessel acceptance, storage availability and current inland access are time-sensitive. Our service team confirms these items with the relevant Cambodian authorities, port or vessel agent and local handling provider before final booking.
