Port profile
The port of the Map Ta Phut industrial complex
Map Ta Phut Industrial Port lies in Mueang Rayong district, Rayong province, inside the Eastern Economic Corridor. It is run under the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) and handles about 16 million tonnes of cargo a year through 12 operators: 9 specialised terminals for liquids, gas and bulk, and 3 public terminals.
The port is being extended. Under Phase 3, about 1,000 rai of new port area with a 16 m deep channel is being built, starting with an LNG terminal that is scheduled to begin operations in 2029. More industrial investment is following the gas.
For a steel building in Rayong, the right port depends on your cargo and your plot. We ship CIF to the Map Ta Phut port area or to Laem Chabang, whichever gives the better overall route, and can truck DDP to the estate. Petrochemical and energy sites need heavy, corrosion-protected steel and strict quality records, which is our everyday work.
Industrial estate ecosystem
Industrial estates around Map Ta Phut Industrial Port
Estates in our Thai directory that use this port as their main gateway. Open any estate for its details.
Rayong has one of the densest groups of industrial estates in Thailand. Map Ta Phut, Padaeng, Asia and RIL surround the petrochemical complex beside the port, while Eastern Seaboard, Amata City Rayong and WHA Eastern Seaboard 1 to the north host automotive, electronics and plastics plants.
Each estate has its own building rules, and plants in the complex add safety, hazardous-area and fire requirements. We prepare drawings and calculations for the estate approval, signed by your Thai licensed engineer, with fire protection and paint systems specified for the site.
