With over 60 single or double-decker vessels, consumer goods and a variety of foods are transported from Yangon to Pathein, Myaungmya, Pyapon, Bogale, Mawlamyinegyun, Kyaiklat and Labutta townships in Ayeyawady Region, as well as oils, rice and water products from Ayeyawady Region to Yangon.

Consumer goods and foods are flowing via waterway between Ayeyawady Region and Yangon, the economic hub of Myanmar.
Shipping between the two regions has declined when road transport has become more convenient and efficient. The inland waterway freight and tourism sector are still active in Ayeyawady Region, where there are many rivers.
“Rice is mainly sent to Yangon from Ayeyawady Region and various foods and consumer goods from Yangon to Ayeyawady Region.
“Waterway is important for both of the regions as there are places that are accessible through waterway only,” said U Thein Naing Oo from a shipping association.
As boats and ships need to arrive before the opening of the Yangon commodity markets, night navigation needs to be faster, he added.

During the cold season, goods and tourism are booming in the waterways. Daily cargo and passenger vessels run smoothly from Yangon to Ayeyawady Region. — Nyein Thu/GNLM
