It is noted that in US, they have transported over 1,000 TEUs per train with multi-locomotives combination. Notwithstanding that, can you imagine space required at either port at both ends. Stacking laden boxes on the wharves awaiting transfer would require heavily piled wharf surfaces; with say 2 mega-containerships arriving at the same time; chaos will prevail even in sorting out those boxes which will have to be loaded as previously planned to ensure pre-planned discharging of the boxes as per port call. Really, I think this project is good only for debate by students of logistics!

Yeah....I was looking at the handling of the containers. Load 'em up at origin port...unload at new road/rail/pipeline...load up at next sea port....unload at destination port....there is something very 'peculiar' about all of this. It seems that wages, insurance, power, workers transport, fuel consumption etc. is not being factored in, at least IMO. How can the double-handling of the goods, be an economic advantage? I think it's going to end in tears. Great idea!...but connecting the idea to a fulfilled project, in this instance, seems that the movers and shakers are reaching beyond their grasp. Doing these maga deals, is not the same thing as getting a financially effective solution to the idea. Just sayin'.

Trains can't compete with ships. The biggest ship can carry 24000 TEU which means 12000 full-sized (40ft) containers. You need a 150km long train to move those containers. Now, on average a container ship is about 4500 TEU. 210 vessels pass through Malacca strait a day. So, about 950000TEU or 475000 40ft containers, i.e. a train that's about 6000km long. China-Laos railway is 422km long so you have to move a 6000km long train through that 422km every day. It's not impossible both ends need machinery that load and unload the stuff at same speed.

For strategic consideration, constructing the river conduits navigable for containerships from the Indian Ocean via Myanmar through to China make more senses than a KRA canal or a KRA Land Bridge that is still within effective control of the US navy. A worse-case scenario is that the Myanmar river expansion project can’t completely reach through China, but if it can reach some three-quarters of the way from Myanmar to China, a “land bridge” via railway lines can be constructed to transport the cargoes to complete rest of the journeys into China; thus making it a lot secure than a Land Bridge through Thailand. Of course, the costs of such river expansion project through Myanmar would be prohibitive, but in terms of national security and long term costs analysis, the hidden benefits of the Myanmar river project far outweighs the KRA Canal/ KRA Land bridge project.

Is it possible if Thailand plans to build canal along the border between Thailand and Malaysia?
@wongpohchan94858 ай бұрын
Do the channel. This is the most practical way. I don't think ships would be atteacted to use the land bridge. 12:09

Thanks for sharing. If I am not wrong China has just built a canal in Cambodia to link upstream MeKong River to Gulf of Thailand.

@@nguyenphuongpham2787 Malaysia will never accept the southern thailand, if a separationist movement is trying to break free from the country, it will create instability in the region and will affect Malaysia too. The south is also known to have no resources in their land and taking in an extremist and unstable region will disrupt Malaysia safety and security.

About the deviding: The 3 newer , mainly Muslim provinces are further south of the project than even famous 'integrated' tourist spots like Phuket, Samui and Krabi ! The 'separation' is just like many others happen in Thailand often with new highways = can't really walk to just 50 meter across living friends. For the bigger view that land bridge is no problem as sure the main highways will be there after also and connect. It is just a local problem, maybe up to 15 km around.

I can’t see that getting off the ground because it means unloading a ship loading the goods onto railway wagons, unloading the railway Wagons, loading the containers onto another ship for ongoing transportation to the port of receipt. Far too much handling.
@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko7 ай бұрын
I disagree. Straits of Malacca is a chock point and could be blocked by foreign forces. Having an alternative route that allows goods to bypass the chock point makes strategic sense. Besides, the cargo can also go via railway that links to neighboring countries all the way to Chinese borders

@mwxfl-q9h2 ай бұрын
China’s opinion is that it doesn’t make much sense because the voyage distance is almost the same and the economic benefits are not obvious. As for the Strait of Malacca, the United States cannot block it because China has three large naval and air force military bases in the South China Sea, which has actually solved the security problem of Malacca. China's willingness will not be very high, but whether it is a land bridge or a canal, if Thailand wants China to help build it, China will agree.

In the event of a war between the US and China, China got many alternative land routes in the northern areas through land routes and rails. So, the Kra and Malaysia land link project may not be as important to China if the Malacca straits is blocked by the US. Btw, I don't think Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia will allow their SLOC to be block and sitting pretty.

The Sunda Strait is very broad and deep at its southwestern end, but it becomes much shallower as it narrows to the northeast, with a minimum depth of only 20 meters in some areas. Navigating the strait is notoriously difficult due to its shallowness, strong tidal currents, sandbanks, and man-made obstructions such as oil platforms off the Java coast.
