The PPAP is directed by representatives of the two ministries and one for the Phnom Penh municipality and one for port employees. Under the supervision of the two ministries, the PPAP manages and operates the port and port facilities.

The Port of Phnom Penh works with many Mekong River provinces to operate the port business and distribute goods throughout Cambodia. The Port of Phnom Penh has one local terminal connected to domestic ports along the main rivers. To keep navigation open year-round, the Port of Phnom Penh maintains the access channels.
