State-owned Sihanoukville Autonomous Port (PAS) suffered a net loss of 14 billion riel ($3.5 million) in its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 (Q422) as opposed to a 24.5 billion riel net profit a year ago.

Quarterly revenue fell 12.2 percent to 77.01 billion riel ($19.02 million), from 87.7 billion riel in the corresponding quarter in 2021.
For the full year ended December 31, 2022 (FY22), the sole international and commercial deep-sea port in Cambodia recorded a 10.2 percent decline in net profit at 84.2 billion riel ($20.8 million) compared to 93.7 billion riel in FY21.
