Fire at Laem Chabang raises questions about the EEC
The recent fire on a container ship at Laem Chabang Port has raised concerns over the environmental impact of the Laem Chabang Phase 3 expansion, which is designed to link with the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) mega project.
“The current environmental problem has not been effectively addressed, and now the government embarks on a new project,” said Thanaporn Vichan, a member of Thai Labour Solidarity Committee.
People in the EEC area are urging the government to consider their well-being, as well as the environmental impact of industrialization, she said.
