British company runs Yangon port that earns Myanmar military $3m a year – Myanmar Now

February 14, 2020 Campaign News

Campaigners have called on the UK-based Portia Management Services to end its relationship with KT Services and Logistics, which leases the TMT Ports shipping terminal in Yangon from a military-owned company.

Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, said: “As the company managing the port on behalf of KT Services, Portia Management is critical to ensuring the port makes enough money to pay for the lease from the military. This money funds the military and is helping to pay for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

Portia Management is on BCUK’s Dirty List.
