Loke: Westports expansion to double capacity to 28m TEUs, third Port Klang terminal planned at Pulau Carey

Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd is expanding its capacity to handle 28 million TEUs, reinforcing Port Klang's role as a pivotal maritime gateway in Southeast Asia.

The government has approved a third port development at Pulau Carey, supporting long-term growth.

Daiso's new Global Distribution Centre at Pulau Indah exemplifies the confidence in Malaysia's logistics infrastructure and aims to enhance its status as a regional supply chain hub.

Efforts to improve port efficiency through digitalisation, under the Malaysia Maritime Single Window initiative, are also underway to streamline operations.

KLANG, Nov 5 — Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd’s annual container handling capacity is expected to double from 14 million to 28 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) under its ongoing expansion, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said.

He said Port Klang would remain Malaysia’s most important maritime gateway and a major transhipment hub in Southeast Asia.

Loke said the government had also approved the development of a third port at Pulau Carey as part of Port Klang’s longer-term expansion plans.

“We will continue to expand our ports so that we can handle more capacity and more containers and we hope companies such as Daiso will continue to make Malaysia their global hub.

“We welcome more companies to relocate to Malaysia and establish their global distribution centres here as this industry is very important,” he said at the opening ceremony of Daiso’s new Global Distribution Centre (GDC) attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim here today.

Loke said Port Klang had become one of the world’s 10 busiest ports and continued to improve its operational efficiency and service delivery, particularly in vessel clearance procedures.

He said Daiso’s decision to establish its largest global distribution centre in the company’s history at Pulau Indah reflected confidence in Malaysia’s logistics infrastructure and its position as a regional supply chain hub.

The facility is expected to handle more than 4,600 outbound containers annually, serving supply chains across 27 countries and regions in Asia, West Asia, Australia and the Americas.

“This scale underscores the immense strategic value of our maritime and overland transport infrastructure.

“Being situated immediately adjacent to Port Klang, one of the world’s top container transhipment ports, this facility exemplifies our National Transport Policy in action, connecting sea, road and automated warehousing into a seamless logistics network,” he said.

Loke said the Transport Ministry was expediting efforts under the Malaysia Maritime Single Window initiative to further improve port efficiency through digitalisation.

“All port clearances are now done digitally. We are moving into the second phase, where more clearances involving multiple agencies can be completed online instead of through paperwork, as was the practice in the past,” he said.

He also expressed hope that the Finance Ministry would consider providing further incentives to attract more global brands to establish their global distribution centres in Malaysia. — Bernama

马来西亚西港有限公司正在扩建其港口，以处理 2800 万标准箱，从而巩固巴生港作为东南亚重要海运门户的地位。

政府已批准在凯里岛开发第三个港口，以支持长期增长。

大创在Pulau Indah新建的全球配送中心体现了对马来西亚物流基础设施的信心，旨在提升马来西亚作为区域供应链枢纽的地位。

为了提高港口效率，马来西亚正在推行“海事单一窗口”计划，通过数字化手段简化运营流程。

巴生，11月5日讯——交通部长陆兆福表示，随着西港马来西亚有限公司持续扩建，其年集装箱处理能力预计将从1400万标准箱（TEU）翻一番，达到2800万标准箱。

他表示，巴生港仍将是马来西亚最重要的海上门户和东南亚的主要转运枢纽。

陆兆福表示，政府也已批准在凯里岛开发第三个港口，作为巴生港长期扩张计划的一部分。

“我们将继续扩建港口，以便处理更多货物和集装箱，我们希望像大创这样的公司继续将马来西亚作为其全球枢纽。”

“我们欢迎更多公司迁至马来西亚，并在这里建立全球分销中心，因为这个行业非常重要，”他在今天由马来西亚总理拿督斯里安华·易卜拉欣出席的大创新全球分销中心（GDC）开幕仪式上说。

陆兆福表示，巴生港已成为全球十大最繁忙港口之一，并不断提高运营效率和服务水平，尤其是在船舶清关程序方面。

他表示，大创决定在 Pulau Indah 建立公司历史上最大的全球配送中心，这反映了该公司对马来西亚物流基础设施及其作为区域供应链枢纽地位的信心。

该设施预计每年将处理超过 4600 个出境集装箱，服务于亚洲、西亚、澳大利亚和美洲等 27 个国家和地区的供应链。

“这一规模凸显了我们海运和陆路运输基础设施的巨大战略价值。”

“该设施紧邻世界顶级集装箱转运港之一的巴生港，体现了我们国家运输政策的实践，将海运、公路和自动化仓储连接成一个无缝的物流网络，”他说。

陆兆福表示，交通部正在加快推进马来西亚海事单一窗口计划，通过数字化进一步提高港口效率。

他说：“现在所有港口清关手续都已实现数字化。我们正在进入第二阶段，届时更多涉及多个机构的清关手续将可以在线完成，而无需像过去那样通过纸质文件。”

他还表示希望财政部考虑提供更多激励措施，以吸引更多国际品牌在马来西亚设立全球分销中心。——马新社
