About
Try Pheap is a Cambodian businessman associated with Try Pheap Group. The previously checked U.S. government designation record identifies a network of companies connected to him covering import-export, dry ports, construction, petroleum, property, travel and special economic zones. These documented company activities do not establish the present operating status of every business. A 1 June 2016 Phnom Penh Post report described the group’s plans for an international port on the Kampot coast. Quoting his assistant Kheang Sochivorn, it outlined a proposed cargo facility in Teuk Chhou district and a memorandum of understanding with Hutchison Port Holdings. A provincial official told the newspaper that a port master plan had received approval the previous year. Hutchison declined to comment on its future development plans. This account records a proposal and reported approvals in 2016; it does not by itself verify completion, current ownership or present operations. On 10 December 2019, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Try Pheap and eleven companies under the Global Magnitsky Act, alleging corruption linked to an illegal logging network and the collusion of Cambodian officials. Cambodia’s Foreign Ministry rejected the designation as groundless. The allegations and response remain attributed rather than presented as Cambodia Monitor’s own findings.
