Thepaporn

Founded in 1993, Thepaporn Co., Ltd provides coastal and inland logistic services, as well as port services and warehousing.   With over 20 years of experience and expertise as the exclusive handler of large amounts of imported soda ash from ANSAC, we are a leader in handling dry bulk cargo.   Our ability to manage the entire process of loading, barge transporting, unloading, storage, and truck delivery helps limit risk factors and enables us to serve our customers with utmost efficiency.  

Our loading dock locations along the Chao Praya River allow us to offer our clients a cost-effective method of transporting cargo by barge.  This option provides an environmentally-friendly alternative to truck and rail transportation.  Barge transportation is especially effective in Thailand, providing several key benefits:

• Increases cost effectiveness:Barge shipping offers a competitive economic advantage over trucking when transporting bulk and container cargoes.
• Provides easy access to marine cargo:The Chao Praya River is directly linked to main sea ports where most imported goods are received and transported inland.
• Minimizes demurrage and facilitates warehouse planning:Once loaded and moved inland, barges can serve as short term storage, which can often be significantly cheaper than demurrage.

Our services are not limited only to bulk cargo.  We have the ability to also serve clients with other merchandise such as commodities, iron, etc.  Thepaporn’s key services include:

• Unloading/loading cargo services: We provide full handling and management of goods from marine vessels to barges to our warehouses or trucks.
• Barge transportation:We operate a fleet of tugboats along with over 20 river barges, each with capacity of 1,000-1,800 metric tons.  
• Dock operations: Our unloading docks provide easy access to ample covered storage facilities.  Our knowledgeable and dedicated staff, as well as state-of-the-art equipment (including backhoes, cranes and truck scales) can ensure proper handling of cargo.  Our docks are strategically located along the Chao Praya River at:
