Expected Demand of Dawei Deep Sea Port• Steel industry will be supported by the bulk port, requiring throughput of ion ore,
coal, other material, and will export its own finished products. 40 MT/Year• Agriculture: Rice, sugar, corn, tapioca, other grain, etc. 5 MT/Year• Coal-fired power plant: Import coal. 25MT/Year• Container cargo: 3.2 million TEU/ Year, equivalent to 45 MT/Year (@14 Ton/TEU)• General & Container Cargo: 50 MT/Year• Liquid cargo: For Chemical and Petrochemical. 35 MT/Year• SPM for crude: 36 MT/Year (@ 18 MT/year/SPM x 2)
The possibility of total throughput is quite huge, thus ITD designed the Port capacity to handle up to 200 MT/Year
Opportunities to the integration process of the ASEAN and the EU markets

1. Handling more cargo volume2. Transportation links between countries (air, sea, land)3. Documentation processes of cargo transportation 4. Communication infrastructure among countries5. Visa processes for both ASEAN and EU nationals6. Cultural barriers7. Various currencies among countries8. Require adjustments in national laws and agreements, which
needs cooperation between public and private sectors of two regions
• Myanmars’ stratgic position for ASEAN will give the region a more prosporous linkage to the major forthcoming economic powers of the world.
• The EU could be ASEAN major trading partner.
• The EU has proven its desire to invest in ASEAN with increasing share of outbound stock.
• EU businesses are already established in ASEAN. Further investment by EU is needed especially in INFRASTRUCTURE to realize the potential benefits of connectivity to developing markets.
• Myanmar will be the hub to this connectivity and must be regarded as an ASEAN regional market.
