The project also includes several infrastructures, such as a concrete bridge connecting the port with the entrance, a passenger terminal, an administrative building, a public bathroom, a drainage system, a fence, and a gate, among others, which is built using a national budget of nearly 13 billion riels.

The port, tourism, and flagship goods contribute to the connectivity and richness of maritime infrastructure in the four coastal provinces of Cambodia and promote sustainable economic growth in the three coastal countries of Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, a part of the Greater Mekong Subregion.

The port infrastructure construction is also intended to facilitate the safe and efficient transportation of goods, passengers, and tourists along the coast.
