THSAT Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of THSAT
Sattahip Port is the seaport of Phatthaya, in the city of Phatthayain Thailand. Overseas routes include Southeast Asia, Port code is THSAT.
Port Overview
Sattahip Port (UN/LOCODE: THSAT) is a deep-water seaport on the northern coast of the Gulf of Thailand, near Phatthaya, Thailand. Its sheltered position at the head of a small bay protected by Phra Island gives it a different operating profile from Bangkok’s relatively shallow river-port environment. The port has historical naval-base roots and currently handles a combination of fishing vessels, offshore supply ships, military operations and general cargo vessels. For commercial cargo, our platform treats THSAT primarily as a project, breakbulk, general-cargo and specialist marine-logistics gateway rather than assuming standard container-terminal availability. The port reference data records a maximum vessel length of 231 metres, maximum draught of 7.5 metres and maximum deadweight of 31,801 tonnes; vessel acceptance remains subject to berth, channel, cargo and port-operator confirmation.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- General and breakbulk handling: The port’s stated vessel and cargo profile is compatible with general cargo, oversized units and marine-support movements, subject to the appointed facility’s lifting and laydown capabilities.
- Container handling: FCL, empty-container positioning, transshipment and LCL deconsolidation should be treated as service-specific. Our platform verifies the actual terminal, equipment, acceptance window and carrier nomination before booking.
- Project-cargo planning: Heavy-lift, long-length and out-of-gauge cargo require a berth survey, lifting-plan review, route survey and confirmation of temporary storage or direct-delivery arrangements.
- Warehousing and storage: Short-term open-yard, covered storage and bonded options may depend on the selected operator and cargo classification; availability and permitted dwell time must be confirmed in writing.
- Customs and inspection coordination: Our service team can coordinate documentation, customs presentation, inspection attendance and release instructions with the relevant parties, without assuming a fixed inspection procedure.
- Inland connectivity: Road haulage is the principal planning consideration for many commercial moves. Truck type, axle limits, escort needs and delivery access should be checked before cargo is gated in.
Routes & Transit Times
- Regional Gulf movements: Cargo may be planned toward other Gulf of Thailand ports and wider Southeast Asian gateways through the carrier’s available rotation, feeder connection or relay hub. Direct service, sailing frequency and equipment supply must be verified per booking.
- Bangkok and central Thailand: Sattahip can be evaluated as a coastal alternative for cargo serving Bangkok or nearby industrial areas, but the final choice should compare inland trucking, handling, customs location and vessel suitability.
- Transit-time control: Actual lead time depends on port-call allocation, berth congestion, weather, customs release, cargo inspection, equipment availability, transshipment and the inland delivery appointment. Our platform provides a confirmed schedule only after carrier and terminal validation.
- Project and charter cargo: Breakbulk, heavy-lift and offshore movements are commonly planned around vessel nomination and port readiness rather than a standard weekly container schedule.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: Sailing cut-off, port receiving window, VGM deadline, cargo acceptance and documentation cut-off vary by carrier and facility. Our team obtains the applicable deadlines instead of applying a generic Bangkok schedule.
- Dangerous goods: IMO class, UN number, packing group, SDS, container/vehicle declaration and emergency-contact information must be submitted before acceptance. Approval is subject to carrier and port requirements.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, permits and cargo-specific certificates must match the physical cargo. Inspection or document queries can delay release, especially for controlled, military-related or strategically sensitive goods.
- Inland transport: Oversized and heavy cargo requires verified dimensions, gross weight, centre of gravity, lifting points, route clearance, bridge/road restrictions and delivery-site access before dispatch.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the cargo dimensions, gross weight, packing method, lifting points, HS code, dangerous-goods status and delivery address before selecting THSAT as the gateway.
- For project or breakbulk cargo, request berth suitability, crane or mobile-equipment availability, laydown space, direct-delivery feasibility and inland route approval as one coordinated operating plan.
- For container cargo, compare THSAT with Bangkok or another confirmed commercial container gateway after checking empty equipment, terminal acceptance, customs location, trucking cost and the complete transshipment plan.
- Build schedule contingency for berth allocation, weather, inspection, customs queries and road restrictions; do not dispatch trucks until the terminal receiving instruction and delivery appointment are confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can THSAT be used for ordinary FCL exports?
Possibly, but not automatically. Sattahip’s stated operating profile is mixed and includes general cargo and marine activity. Our platform first confirms the nominated container facility, equipment, carrier acceptance, customs process and inland delivery arrangement.
Is Sattahip a practical alternative to Bangkok Port?
It may be considered where vessel draft, project-cargo handling or an Eastern Thailand destination favours the Gulf-side location. A proper comparison must include terminal acceptance, inland distance, handling charges, sailing connection and customs arrangements.
What information is needed for oversized cargo?
Provide packed length, width, height, gross weight, centre of gravity, lifting points, packing drawings, cargo value, HS code, loading method and final delivery address. Our team then coordinates berth, handling, road-route and equipment feasibility checks.
How early should dangerous goods be declared?
Submit the UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, SDS, quantity, packaging details and emergency information before booking confirmation. The actual acceptance deadline and approval remain subject to the carrier and operating facility.
Are the listed vessel limits guaranteed for every call?
No. The 231-metre maximum length, 7.5-metre maximum draught and 31,801-tonne maximum deadweight are reference values in the supplied port data, not a blanket clearance. Each vessel requires confirmation of current berth, channel, tide, cargo and port conditions.
Data Sources & Provenance
Core identity, location, port code, vessel reference limits and historical operating description are taken from the supplied THSAT port record. Operational availability, terminal services, schedules, cut-offs, charges, customs treatment and vessel acceptance require shipment-specific confirmation.
Official reference domains for verification:

These domains are provided as authority-level reference points for Thailand port administration, customs and maritime-regulatory checks. They do not establish a guaranteed terminal service, sailing, tariff, berth window or cargo acceptance condition for THSAT. Our service team verifies the live operational position with the relevant carrier, facility, authorities and inland contractors before execution.
