The ocean route from Sihanoukville to Taipei is highly advantageous for transporting building and construction materials due to its capacity for large shipments. This pathway allows for the efficient movement of bulk goods, ensuring that heavy and oversized items can be delivered without the constraints often associated with land transport. Additionally, the maritime route minimizes the risk of damage during transit, preserving the integrity of essential building supplies. Overall, this connection supports the growing demand for quality construction goods in Taiwan's expanding infrastructure projects.
Sihanoukville boasts a modern deep-water port equipped with advanced loading and unloading facilities, making it ideal for handling construction products.

When transporting mixed loads of construction goods such as lamps, Tools, and bulk fasteners, properly separate items by weight and fragility on each pallet. Load heavy, dense Building materials at the bottom, with lighter cartons of tools on top, and apply corner boards, top sheets, and stretch wrap to stabilize the load. Prominently label pallets with handling instructions like “Fragile lighting” or “Heavy tools” so carriers Can handle them appropriately.
For light fixtures and light fittings, pack in Double-wall cartons with internal dividers or foam inserts so glass and lenses never contact each other. DNA recommends individually wrapping each item in bubble wrap or foam sleeves, then Placing them in snug compartments. Prominently mark cartons as “Fragile – Lighting” and avoid stacking them under heavy building supplies on the same pallet.
Moisture-sensitive building products such as cement-based goods, metal fasteners, and electrical LED lights Should be covered with moisture-barrier film and, where feasible, paired with desiccant packs. Use enclosed equipment—like dry vans or sealed ocean containers—rather than open trucks, and minimize long outdoor dwell times at terminals. For export, evaluate container liners or dehumidifier units for high-humidity routes.
