It will also facilitate lower consumer prices of goods due to reduced cost of transport for cargo switching from road to river; savings in idle vessel time at berths with faster loading and unloading; savings in loss and damage to cargo; and safer and more reliable cargo handling.\r\n\r\nThe development of Magway Inland Port will benefit the people along the Ayeyarwady River especially those in Magway Division.
