A total of 59 container vessels are scheduled to enter the Yangon Port in March 2026, the Myanma Authority announced.

Thirteen container vessels run by M/S Cosco Shipping Line, seven each by M/S SITC Shipping Line and M/S Maersk A/S Line, six each by M/S One Line and M/S Samudera Shipping Line, five by M/S M/S MSC Line and three each by M/S CMA CGM Asia Line, M/S RCL Line and M/S Ti2 Logistics Line, two each by M/S BLPL Shipping Line, M/S Evergreen ASIA Line and M/S Land And Sea are scheduled to dock at the Yangon Port in March.

The Myanma Port Authority has arranged maritime trade channels to handle increasing imports to meet domestic demand, to bolster exports, and to improve port capacity for significant arrivals of ships. Myanma Port Authority notified that it will inform exporters and importers of ship arrival schedules promptly upon an extended schedule. Yangon Port handled 60 container vessels in February and 60 in January 2026.

After the new navigation channel (Kings Bank Channel) accessing the inner Yangon River was found, the draft extension work was accelerated. After that, the port can now handle larger ships. The container vessel MV SITC Zhaoming (185.99-metre LOA, 35.25-metre Beam, 29,232 GRT and 2,698 TEUs) of Hong Kong-based SITC Shipping Line docked at Asia World Port Terminal for the first time on 22 June, which is the largest ship that AWPT Port handled.
