The Cambodian base has a pier long enough to accommodate large naval vessels like aircraft carriers.
China is to trade two warships with Cambodia for access to a naval base near the contested South China Sea, Radio Free Asia reported on Tuesday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.As well as the naval vessels China is expected to hand over a deep-draft pier and facilities it has developed at the Ream naval base, which is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand in the southwestern Cambodian province of Sihanoukville.
Phnom Penh has urged China, the Philippines and Vietnam to respect and adhere to the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, which reaffirms peaceful settlement of disputes and freedom of navigation and overflight.However, security analysts said Beijing and Phnom Penh might have reached a deal that gives the Chinese navy privileged access to the Ream naval base, where no foreign warships have been allowed to dock before.
