How we handle it

Sattahip: an extra gateway for large steel on the Eastern Seaboard
The commercial port at Sattahip, in the south of Chonburi, handles general and project cargo next to the U-Tapao and Rayong industrial area. For most projects we ship through Laem Chabang; for oversize members we check Sattahip case by case.

Port profile
A deep-water port at the southern tip of Chonburi
Sattahip Commercial Port lies in Sattahip district, at the southern tip of Chonburi province, beside the Royal Thai Navy’s Sattahip base and close to U-Tapao Airport. It handles general cargo, vehicles, machinery and project cargo, and is part of the Eastern Economic Corridor’s plans for the area.
For most steel buildings in the east, Laem Chabang or Map Ta Phut is the better route: more sailings, container terminals and short trucking to the estates. Sattahip becomes interesting when members are too long or heavy for containers and travel as break-bulk. We check vessel, berth and handling with the line before we offer it.
The area around the port is growing with the EEC: the U-Tapao airport city, Rayong’s northern estates and new logistics parks all sit within a short drive.
Industrial estate ecosystem
Industrial estates within reach of Sattahip
Estates in our Thai directory a short drive from the port. Most of them are served through Laem Chabang or Map Ta Phut.
Sattahip is close to the northern Rayong estates: Eastern Seaboard, Amata City Rayong and WHA Eastern Seaboard 1 around Pluak Daeng, and the Map Ta Phut group on the coast. Automotive, electronics and petrochemical plants dominate.
Whatever port your steel comes through, the building must meet the estate rules. We prepare drawings and calculations for the estate approval, signed by your Thai licensed engineer.
