According to the Department of Transport, 101 cargo vessels shipped goods from Mandalay Port to Yangon and Bhamo along the Ayeyawady River in March.
A fleet of 101 cargo vessels transports sent 49,502.35 tonnes of cement, 32,719.7 tonnes of corn, 1,567 tonnes of coal, 125 tonnes of lime, 100 iron pipes, 103.5 tonnes of salt, 85.93 tonnes of molasses, 600 pieces of plywood, 14,833.6 tonnes of sugar, 389.65 tonnes of rice and broken rice and a tractor.
Due to the large quantity of goods to be transported from Mandalay Port, the Department of Transport has instructed that vessels should not be loaded beyond the specified tonnage. Carrying goods beyond the vessel’s capacity, regardless of its size, may pose a danger for ships travelling on the river. — TWA/TKO
