*Subscribe to my channel here: *Briefly about Sihanoukville 2019, and what'll it be like in 5 years time from now?
Sihanoukville (in Khmer “Kampong Som or Kampong Saom”) was established in 1964 in order to create Cambodia’s one and only deep-water port. Since the initial establishment, the province has experienced steady growth. Lately, that growth has exploded.
Kampong Som was chosen as a port city for its depth of water, protection from the elements and accessibility. In honour of King Norodom Sihanouk, who fought for the independence of Cambodia, the provincial capital was named Sihanoukville.
Today, Sihanoukville is an economically vibrant city of nearly 300,000 people. It has earned the moniker “Rising Star of the Southwest”.
Home to the Kingdom’s only deep-water port, Sihanoukville is an economic corridor and hotspot for several trades. Main industries include transportation and logistics, tourism, fisheries and manufacturing. Sihanoukville has been on the government’s development agenda to expand the regional coast to become the kingdom’s next tourism hub after Siem Reap.
Sihanoukville has become a significant part of the country's economic growth due to the rapid flow of foreign direct investment into the province, particularly from Chinese investors.
Sihanoukville is now viewed as the next big investment hotspot and prime development land is being snapped up very quickly. The province contains the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone (SSEZ), which is three kilometers from the airport and 12 kilometers from the port.
Sihanoukville’s current economic renaissance is mainly due to its strategic location and presence of important businesses and industries.
Preah Sihanouk province has eight special economic zones. They are:
Kampong Saom SEZ which sits on 255 hectares and was backed by developer Kith Meng
SNC SEZ on 155 hectares in Bet Trang commune
Stung Hav SEZ in Otres commune spanning 192 hectares
Sihanoukville SEZ 1 developed on 178 hectares by Lav Meng Khin
Sihanoukville SEZ 2, the largest in the province spanning 1,113 hectares, also developed by Lav Meng Khin
Sihanoukville Port SEZ, which encompasses 70 hectares and was developed by Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS
HKT SEZ on 345 hectares in Teuk Thla commune
Cambodia-Sino Metallic Material SEZ in Keo Pos commune spanning 55 hectares
