Cambodia has two major ports, [[Phnom Penh Autonomous Port]] and [[Sihanoukville Autonomous Port]], also known as ''Kampong Som'', and five minor ports. Phnom Penh, at the junction of the [[Bassac River|Bassac]], the Mekong, and the Tonle Sap Rivers, is the only [[river port]] capable of receiving 8,000-ton ships during the wet season and 5,000-ton ships during the dry season. In 2018 the port received 205,000 [[Twenty-foot equivalent unit|TEU]]s totalling 2.9 million [[tonne]]s. Its 2018 profits were US$7.35 million, up 36% from 2017.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sakhuja |first1=Vijay |title=There is more to Koh Kong |url=https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50613745/there-is-more-to-koh-kong/ |access-date=17 June 2019 |work=Khmer Times |date=13 June 2019}}</ref>

Sihanoukville port reopened in late-1979. It had been built in 1960 with French assistance. In 1980 some 180 Soviet dockworkers, having brought with them forklifts and trucks, were reportedly working at ''Kampong Som'' as longshoremen or as instructors of unskilled Cambodian port workers. By 1984 approximately 1,500 Cambodian port workers were handling 2,500 tons of cargo per day. According to official statistics, Sihanoukville had handled only 769,500 tons in the four prior years (1979 to 1983), a level that contrasted sharply with the port's peacetime capacity of about one million tons of cargo per year.
