Port profile
The traditional port of the lower Andaman coast
Kantang Port lies at the mouth of the Trang River in Kantang district, Trang province, on the Andaman Sea. It is a river port for small and medium-sized vessels, and has long been the outlet for the region’s rubber, seafood and farm products, with consumer goods, machinery and inputs coming in.
Trang, Satun and Krabi are among Thailand’s main rubber and palm-oil provinces, with seafood processing along the coast. The buildings they need are practical and durable: smoke houses and rubber sheds, processing plants, warehouses, cold stores and stores in the provincial towns.
Kantang does not take the container ships that sail from our side. We ship CIF to a main Thai port, usually Songkhla, and truck DDP across the peninsula to Trang, Satun or Krabi.
Industrial estate ecosystem
Building in Trang, Satun and Krabi
There are no industrial estates from our directory on this coast. Projects are built on the owner’s land with a local building permit.
Projects in the lower Andaman provinces are mostly agro-industry and commercial buildings on the owner’s land: rubber and palm-oil plants, seafood processing, feed and fertiliser warehouses, markets and stores around Trang town, Satun and Krabi. The permit comes from the local authority.
We prepare drawings and calculations signed by your Thai licensed engineer, and design for the heavy south-west monsoon and humid, salty coastal air.
