The port consists of Myanmar International Terminals Thilawa (MITT) operated by Hutchison Port Holdings and is a multi-purpose container port. Over time Thilawa is expected to be the main port area of Yangon with the downtown port area likely to be redeveloped as commercial real estate over the coming decades. Thilawa is also close to the Thilawa Special Economic Zone which is an ongoing Myanmar/Japanese industrial development.
