| Abstract | Southern Mekong Region including Cambodia and South Vietnam is currently seeing not only economic growth but also increased investment in infrastructure such as seaports, river ports, and roads. There are four major routes for international container shipping between Cambodia (mainly her capital city, Phnom Penh) and partner countries such as China, USA and Europe; i) utilizing a barge on the Mekong River through Phnom Penh Port (and transshipped at Vietnamese ports including Cai Mep/Thi Vai and Ho Chi Minh), ii) land transport to Vietnamese ports across the national border by truck, iii) via Sihanoukville Port (and transshipped at hub ports such as Singapore), and iv) via Laem Chabang Port in Thailand by land transport across the national border. This paper develops a route choice model of Cambodian international container cargo on the intermodal network including both maritime and land shipping, and does several policy simulations to improve the condition of each shipping route such as improvement of river shipping and a bridge construction over the Mekong River. |
