Thilawa Port (MMTLA) Port Overview

Thilawa is a medium-sized international river-sea port serving the Yangon metropolitan area of Myanmar. The port is located on the Yangon River approximately 25 km southeast of Yangon and functions as an important gateway for cargo moving into Myanmar’s principal commercial and industrial region. Based on the supplied port record, the port area is approximately 75 ha, with about 1,000 m of total berth length and capacity to accommodate up to five Panamax-size vessels. The recorded maximum vessel length is 225 m, while the maximum draught and deadweight are stated as 10 m and 63,916 t respectively. Our service team treats these figures as planning references only; vessel acceptance, berth allocation, tidal restrictions and operational windows must be reconfirmed for each voyage.

Key Highlights

Yangon gatewayThilawa provides access to Yangon’s manufacturing, distribution and consumer markets through the Yangon River corridor.

Mixed cargo profileThe supplied record identifies cargo vessels, container ships, bulk carriers and oil-products tankers among regular vessel categories.

Draft-sensitive planningRiver approach conditions, vessel draught and tidal or navigational restrictions should be checked before finalizing the ocean schedule.

Road-led inland movementFor Yangon-area delivery, trucking and traffic conditions are central to planning; inland arrangements should not be treated as an automatic port service.

Facilities & Services

Berthing: The supplied port record indicates approximately 1,000 m of total berth length and accommodation for up to five Panamax-size vessels. Berth assignment and vessel compatibility require confirmation before booking.
Cargo handling: The recorded vessel mix supports planning for containerized, general, dry-bulk and oil-products cargo. Actual equipment, handling sequence and cargo acceptance depend on the nominated terminal or berth.
Container operations: Containerized shipments should be planned around the selected carrier, terminal acceptance notice, container availability, receiving window and verified cut-off instructions.
Storage and yards: Yard availability, free-time terms, reefer plugs, empty-container return points and restrictions on out-of-gauge cargo must be confirmed case by case rather than assumed from the port location.
Inland connectivity: Our service team can coordinate truck pickup and delivery around Yangon, subject to route restrictions, local traffic, cargo dimensions, permits and driver availability.

Routes & Transit Times

Typical planning corridors may include regional Asian trade, transshipment connections and inbound cargo for Myanmar. The actual routing, transshipment port and carrier availability must be checked against the sailing schedule at booking.
Transit time is affected by feeder or mainline connection design, river navigation conditions, vessel drafts, transshipment dwell, terminal congestion, customs release and inland delivery conditions.
For time-sensitive cargo, our service team will compare the full door-to-door route rather than relying only on the port-to-port sailing time.
We do not promise a fixed transit time, direct service, sailing frequency or carrier allocation until the carrier’s written booking confirmation is available.

Schedule planning should include buffer for document amendments, inspection, weather or river conditions, terminal receiving changes and Yangon-area road congestion.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterlandYangon and its surrounding commercial and industrial areas are the principal inland demand center for cargo handled through Thilawa.

Manufacturing supply chainsCommon planning scenarios include machinery, production inputs, packaged consumer goods, project components and industrial materials.

Bulk and liquid cargoThe vessel profile indicates relevance for dry bulk and oil-products movements, subject to terminal capability, cargo permits and safety acceptance.

Export cargoMyanmar-origin agricultural, processed, industrial or general cargo may require additional checks on packaging, export licensing, origin documents and inland consolidation.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Carrier booking cut-off, VGM deadline, shipping-instruction deadline, terminal receiving cut-off and customs filing deadline may differ. Our service team obtains the operative times from the nominated carrier and terminal.
Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, package details and emergency contact information before booking. Acceptance is subject to carrier and terminal approval.
Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, permits, certificates and valuation information must be consistent. Customs examination or documentary review can affect release and should be included in the delivery plan.
Inland delivery: Confirm truck type, container weight, road access, delivery appointment, unloading capability and any oversize or special-cargo permits before the container is dispatched.

Shipping Tips from Our Service Team

Send cargo description, HS classification, dimensions, gross weight, package type, ready date and final delivery location at the quotation stage so that routing and equipment feasibility can be checked together.
For heavy, high-cube, reefer, out-of-gauge or dangerous cargo, obtain written terminal and carrier acceptance before production release or truck dispatch.
Use moisture-resistant packaging and secure cargo for possible river, terminal and road handling. Mark packages clearly and ensure package counts match the packing list and shipping instructions.
Where schedule reliability is critical, our team can review alternative transshipment arrangements, earlier receiving options or a different Myanmar gateway, subject to cargo, customs and carrier feasibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MMTLA a seaport or an inland port?

Thilawa is an international river-sea port on the Yangon River, approximately 25 km southeast of Yangon. Ocean access and vessel acceptance depend on navigation, draft, berth and terminal conditions.

Can our shipment be booked as a container shipment to MMTLA?

Container routing may be available depending on the carrier and current service plan. Our service team will verify the nominated carrier, equipment, terminal receiving window, transshipment arrangement and final delivery requirements before confirmation.
