Sihanoukville Autonomous Port said third-quarter cargo in 2026 is higher than a year earlier. The rise came from containers and farm exports.

Officials said more ships arrived from China, Vietnam, and Singapore than last month. The container yard is busy but not blocked.

Road haulers said freight from the port to Phnom Penh is running normally after work on National Road 4. Drivers asked for clearer night signs at the port gates.

Shopkeepers in the town noticed more customers at building-supply and dry-goods stores. They linked the change to more ships and dock workers.

The provincial administration will meet the port next week to check warehouse space before the end of the year. If cargo keeps rising, customs lanes may stay open longer.
