Market Chatter: Thailand Pushes $31 Billion Land Bridge Project Amid Global Shipping Risks

MT Newswires Live04-28

Thailand is seeking investors for a 1 trillion baht ($30.97 billion) "Land Bridge" project linking the Indian and Pacific oceans, as disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz expose vulnerabilities in global shipping routes, Reuters reported Wednesday.

The government is courting partners, including Singapore, and plans to submit the proposal for cabinet approval by mid-year. The project envisions deep-sea ports in Ranong and Chumphon connected by road, rail and energy infrastructure, providing an alternative to the Strait of Malacca, reportedly.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul discussed the plan with Singapore's Defense Minister Chan Chun Sing, who expressed interest, with the project still facing environmental and regulatory challenges, the news agency said.
