港务管理局正在探索进一步扩建莱姆查邦港，该港是该国最大的深水港，以应对汽车、电子产品和石化产品等商品日益增长的贸易。
Port Authority is exploring a further expansion of Laem Chabang port, the nation’s biggest deep-sea gateway, to handle increasing trade of products from automobiles to electronics and petrochemicals.
“我们已经在处理超过港口容量的货运量，并收到了关于货物运输拥堵和延误的投诉，”泰国港务管理局主席德查·普克帕塔纳鲁克在一次采访中表示。“我们需要规划进一步扩建，因为我们预计未来几年货运量将显著增加。”该国有机构正在研究春武里府港口的潜在第四阶段开发，以在正在进行的第三阶段扩建之外增加更多产能，他说。该机构正在评估港口的潜在未来规模、投资需求和时间表，他说。
“We’re already handling cargo volumes that exceed the port’s capacity, and we’ve received complaints about congestion and delays in moving goods,” Decha Peukpattanaruk, chairman of Port Authority of Thailand, said in an interview. “We need to plan for further expansion as we expect cargo volumes to increase significantly in the coming years.”The state agency is studying a potential fourth phase of development at the Chon Buri province port to add yet more capacity beyond an ongoing third-phase expansion, he said. The agency is assessing the potential future size of the port, investment requirements and a timeline, he said.
该港位于曼谷东南约120公里处，是运输泰国工业腹地制造品的货船的关键港口。它是东部经济走廊的核心，泰国在那里吸引了包括电动汽车、电子产品、数据中心和其他先进制造业在内的投资。
The port, about 120 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, is a key harbor for cargo ships transporting manufactured goods from Thailand’s industrial heartland. It is a centerpiece of the Eastern Economic Corridor, where Thailand has attracted investment in industries including electric vehicles, electronics, data centers and other advanced manufacturing.
这个东南亚国家的出口和进口在9月超出预期增长，受到与人工智能和数据中心相关的电子元件和机械全球需求的推动。
The Southeast Asian nation’s exports and imports rose more than expected in September, propelled by the global demand for electronic components and machinery tied to artificial intelligence and data centers.
根据该机构的数据，截至2025年9月的财政年度，莱姆查邦港的货运量跃升至创纪录的1020万个二十英尺标准箱，而前一年为950万个。数据显示，截至2026年5月的前八个月，该港口处理了720万个标准箱。
In the fiscal year ended Sept. 2025, cargo volume at Laem Chabang jumped to a record of 10.2 million twenty-foot equivalent units of containers from 9.5 million units a year earlier, according to the agency’s data. In the first eight months through May 2026, the port handled 7.2 million units, the data showed.
德查表示，港务管理局计划为莱姆查班港第一期和第二期招揽新运营商，此前之前的特许经营权已于数年前到期。他说，包括香港长江和记实业有限公司在内的现有运营商——该港口最大的货运处理商——已获准继续以临时基础运营这些设施。
The Port Authority plans to invite bids for new operators of the first and second phases of Laem Chabang after previous concessions expired several years ago, Decha said. Existing operators, including Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd., the port’s largest cargo handler, have been allowed to continue operating the facilities on a temporary basis, he said.
涉及海湾发展公众公司和PTT公众公司的合资企业正在开发耗资310亿泰铢（约9.18亿美元）的莱姆查班港第三期扩建项目，以提高集装箱处理能力。该项目是政府升级东部经济走廊交通基础设施努力的一部分。
A venture involving Gulf Development Pcl and PTT Pcl is developing the 31 billion baht ($918 million) third-phase Laem Chabang expansion to increase container-handling capacity. The project is part of the government’s effort to upgrade transport infrastructure in the Eastern Economic Corridor.
德查表示，第四期将有助于容纳泰国东部省份货运量和投资的长期增长。管理局将在确定项目最终范围、投资需求和开发模式之前评估未来需求。
A fourth phase would help accommodate longer-term growth in cargo volumes and investment in Thailand’s eastern provinces, Decha said. The authority will assess future demand before determining the project’s final scope, investment requirements and development model.
德查表示，近年来泰国投资承诺激增，特别是在数据中心、电子产品和电动汽车制造以及其他先进产业领域。该国不断扩大的制造产能预计将产生额外的机械和原材料进口，同时支持未来出口，给该国物流基础设施带来进一步压力。
Thailand has experienced a surge in investment commitments in recent years, particularly in data centers, electronics and electric vehicle manufacturing as well as in other advanced industries. The nation’s expanding manufacturing capacity is expected to generate additional imports of machinery and raw materials while supporting future exports, adding further pressure on the country’s logistics infrastructure, according to Decha.
