Grant Description

On June 21, 2005, the Chinese Government issued an implementation contract to Nuctech Company, Ltd. for the THSCAN Mobile X-Ray Container/Vehicle Inspection Project.

This project was financed with proceeds of an RMB 30 million grant that was previously committed by the Chinese Government and the Government of Myanmar on July 12, 2004 through an Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement (ETCA) (captured in Record ID#67512).

The purpose of the project was to install a container inspection and vehicle inspection system at a border crossing (locational coordinates: 23.980815310470966, 97.89725953941553) in the town of Muse within Mu Se Township (also known as the Muse-Ruili border point or မူဆယ်နယ်စပ်ဖြတ်ကူးစခန်း).

Upon completion, it was envisaged that the project would speed up the customs clearance of commodities and goods and thereby promote bilateral trade between China and Myanmar. This project was officially completed on April 11, 2006. The Chinese project title is 援缅集装箱检查系统项目.
