The objective is to formulate an "Intermodal Transport Master Plan 2021-2030" to promote Cambodia’s connectivity, reduce transportation and logistics costs, and speed up global integration. The draft plan is prepared by China International Engineering Consulting Corporation (CIECC), led by She Xiangyun, Director of the CIECC team. The start date was June 19, 2018, and the completion date will be June 19, 2020. The master plan is based on the ‘3.3.4.2’ formula. The first 3 refers to the three main transportation corridors – Phnom Penh-Poipet, Phnom Penh-Bavet, and Phnom Penh-Sihanouk province. The next 3 are the three-sub main transport corridors – the coastal area, the Northeast, and the North. The 4 are the four growth poles – Phnom Penh, Preah Sihanouk, Siem Reap, and Battambang. The 2 refers to the two connected poles, Svay Rieng-Bavet and Banteay Meanchey-Serey Sophon.
