DPM MoTC Union Minister inspects Sule Jetty, warehouses

 

Member of the State Administration Council, Deputy Prime Minister and Union Minister for Transport and Communications General Mya Tun Oo and officials yesterday arrived at Sule Jetty and Wahdan Jetty, which Myanma Port Authority manages.
They inspected cargo, warehouses, port facilities and storage conditions.

Deputy Prime Minister General Mya Tun Oo and the managing director of the Myanma Port Authority arrived at Sule Jetty with officials from the relevant ministries.
The Myanma Port Authority Chief Engineer presented the updated status of storage facilities and maintenance procedures, as well as measures to be taken and carried out to obtain national and departmental income.

The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted that as the dry season has come and Yangon Port mainly uses Sule Jetty for Myanmar’s agricultural exports, officials and personnel concerned should maintain the high efficiency of port service activities to ensure safety and security in the exportation of goods.

The General elaborated that the port industry is the primary driving service provider for the country’s sustainable socioeconomic development; Government- or private-owned port facilities should carry out maintenance work and continuous inspections to ensure the resilience and strength of jetties and pay special attention to security and fire safety in the port area.

Afterwards, General Mya Tun Oo inspected Sule Jetties 1, 2, and 3, the rubber fender installation and the safety of the worksite.

The Deputy Prime Minister and officials also inspected the Lanmadaw port area, warehouses at the Myanma Railways Wahdan Terminal, railway conditions, jetties and pontoons where inland water vessels dock, and port warehouses.
