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.
