AKP Phnom Penh, February 25, 2026 --

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) has sought potential investors for the development of the Sihanoukville Logistics Complex, a major infrastructure initiative with an aim to strengthen Cambodia’s transport and supply chain capacity.

According to an MPWT’s statement issued on Feb, 25, the Royal Government plans to implement the project through a public-private partnership (PPP) model covering design, construction, financing, operations and maintenance. 

The Royal Government has appointed the International Finance Corporation (IFC) as lead transaction advisor to structure and implement the project.

The proposed facility, to be located in Sihanoukville, forms part of the country’s broader strategy to enhance trade competitiveness and economic diversification under national industrial and logistics development policies. 

As planned, it will be linked to the Sihanoukville Autonomous Port and is expected to provide integrated, value-added logistics services for cargo moving through the port, with long-term plans to connect to a wider national network of logistics hubs.

Interested sponsors are required to submit documentation outlining their experience, company profile and relevant projects by March 2026. Submissions must be made electronically via email.

MPWT emphasised that the request for expressions of interest does not constitute the launch of a formal tender under Cambodia’s PPP law but serves as an initial step to gauge market interest, with the government retaining discretion over future participation.
