In a bid to meet growing demand, 2,400 tonnes of cement again landed at Thakayta Warf of Myanma Five Star Line, Yangon Port, on the evening of 20 April.

Cement imports are allowed to meet the increasing demand as the construction businesses are fully operational in the open season, besides the post-earthquake resettlement activities. The ships carrying cement keep calling in the country via the Kawthoung border.

The State gives the green light to cement imports, and the remaining ships loaded with cement will dock at the Port every week.

Shweme Port in Shwepyitha Township, Yangon handled 3,010 tonnes of cement on 18 April and 1,500 tonnes on 9 April. Moreover, 3,100 tonnes also arrived at Mottama Port in Shwepyitha on 2 April.
