Hutchison Ports, the Myanmar Industrial Port and the Ahlone terminal together run the container operations that make Yangon — still listed as Rangoon (MM RGN) in international traffic — Myanmar's principal seaport. Handling around 1 million TEU a year, the river port on the Yangon River concentrates the bulk of the country's foreign trade across the Inner Harbour near downtown and the deeper Thilawa Outer Harbour some 16 km downstream. MIP alone accounts for roughly 40 percent of national box throughput, while Hutchison's Myanmar International Terminal Thilawa (MITT) also handles RoRo traffic, mainly vehicles from nearby assembly plants. General and project cargo moves over the Sule Pagoda Wharves. River draft of about 7 to 9 m in the Inner Harbour and roughly 10 m at Thilawa caps vessel size, so Yangon is served mostly by feeder services linked to the Singapore and Port Klang hubs. Inland connections run by road and rail toward Mandalay and Naypyidaw, supplemented by Irrawaddy river barging. As the country's main customs location, Yangon clears most Myanmar import and export declarations. Shippers with deep-draft vessels or time-critical transshipment should consider Singapore or Port Klang upstream.
