Krabi rewards a careful look before booking: despite its harbour status, it handles almost no liner container traffic. The working cargo berth sits about 10 nautical miles west of town at Laem Plong, where gypsum and clinker move over conveyors and chutes alongside charcoal, rubber and building materials. The river port carries only some 3 metres of channel depth, ruling out larger cargo vessels. Hinterland access is by road only, with no rail link to the Andaman coast here. For forwarders, Krabi works as a regional dry-bulk and project-cargo option rather than a box port. Containers are better routed via nearby Phuket or the national gateways at Laem Chabang and Bangkok, with Kantang as a further Andaman bulk alternative.
