Abstract: |
Dawei
deep seaport in a part of the Dawei Special Economic Zone (Dawei SEZ) in
Myanmar aims to support the new economics along the GMS Southern Corridor.
The Dawei seaport can serve the potential new industries along the new
industry zones. The new port will be the alternative route for Thai exporters
in the future as it is under construction. The exploratory study by employing
survey was selected and analyzed to identify the significant influencing
factors. The results of hypothesis testing by Pearson Chi-Square test confirm
the relation between the interest of using new Dawei deep seaport and the
location of manufacturer (p-value = 0.027). In addition, the results of
t-test confirm the significant six decision variables of Time for
transportation (v7), Reliability of service (v10), Port size and capability
(v15), Facility (v25), Professionals and skilled labors in port operation
(v30), and Port accessibility (v31) are more important for exporters who are
interested in Dawei seaport than the exporters who may not be intend to use
the new seaport, p-value (1-tailed) < 0.05. |
