Sihanoukville report (Part I) - Sihanoukville construction list

Development of Solo-Semarang railroad commenced, Penang govt files court challenge to revive ‘3 islands’ project, and more construction and transport news in Southeast Asia

Jan 12, 2022

Greetings from Kampot, Cambodia! This week I have been to Sihanoukville (city) and Koh Rong (also in Sihanoukville province).

The last time I was in Sihanoukville was in 2018, and a lot has happened in four years. I was planning to post a construction report for Sihanoukville this week, but time got the better of me. To post a construction report I first needed to map and catalogue everything that is being built or planned in Sihanoukville.

I also needed more time to process what I just saw. I posted some photos on Twitter of half-finished buildings and abandoned casinos. I’m staggered by what has happened here.

I'm in Sihanoukville after 4 years away, and the city is awash with half-finished buildings and abandoned casinos. Here is the view from Ou Chheuteal Beach

This week’s article is a master list of the major projects in Sihanoukville. This is Part I of my Sihanoukville trip. Part II will be the construction report and notes on the carnage of abandoned casinos.

This was announced during the Vietnam – Laos Inter-Governmental Committee, which made a vague reference to a railway between the two countries. The Vung Ang Sea Port will be the main seaport for landlocked Laos and will be served by the Vientiane – Vung Ang Railway.
