Melaka International Cruise Terminal piling works reach 56pc, says CM

Piling works for the Melaka International Cruise Terminal have reached 56% completion, with 170 piles installed so far.

The project is expected to be completed by 2029, boosting Melaka's tourism and creating over 10,000 jobs.

MICT will accommodate up to 800 cruise ships annually, aligning with Melaka's tourism goals as a major maritime gateway.

MELAKA, Oct 6 — Piling works for the Melaka International Cruise Terminal (MICT) project on Pulau Melaka here have reached 56 per cent completion, with 170 piles installed as of October 3.

Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said the remaining 134 piles are expected to be installed by mid-November, and the MICT project development comprises several key components, including an L-shaped jetty, a T-shaped jetty, and a Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) complex.

“For the ‘L’-shaped jetty component, the developer aims to complete construction by the end of next year before operations commence in early 2028, while the ‘T’-shaped jetty and the CIQ Complex are expected to be completed in 2029.

“The development of the MICT jetty holds immense potential for Melaka as it directly aligns with the state’s strengths as a tourism destination, particularly in expanding the international cruise tourism market,” he told reporters at Pulau Melaka here today.

The visit was also attended by KAJ Development Sdn Bhd (KAJD) executive chairman Datuk Daing A Malek Daing A Rahaman.

Ab Rauf said the MICT development would open another international maritime gateway to Melaka, thereby paving the way for a greater number of international cruise ship arrivals and tourists to the state in the future.

He noted that, based on the presented plans, MICT is expected to accommodate approximately 800 cruise ship arrivals with a capacity of up to 1.6 million passengers annually, involving a total investment value of RM2 billion and the potential to create over 10,000 job opportunities.

“Currently, we receive 4,800 tourists every Monday and 3,000 tourists every Thursday arriving via the Genting Dream Cruise.

“We see the potential of the Blue Economy in this area; the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) collaboration with KAJD is expected to yield significant economic returns for Melaka,” he said.

Meanwhile, he said the state government would continue to ensure that all matters requiring action from departments and agencies are well-coordinated to facilitate the project’s development.

He added that the developer is also expected to ensure that every component of the project is developed in accordance with the agreed technical specifications, safety standards, and timelines.

MICT is a key component of the Melaka Gateway development and it is set to become the largest cruise ship terminal in South-east Asia, thereby playing a pivotal role in the state’s maritime transport industry. — Bernama

马六甲国际邮轮码头的桩基工程已完成 56%，目前已安装 170 根桩。

该项目预计将于 2029 年完工，届时将促进马六甲的旅游业发展，并创造超过 10,000 个就业岗位。

马六甲国际贸易中心每年可接待多达 800 艘游轮，这与马六甲作为主要海上门户的旅游目标相一致。

马六甲，10 月 6 日讯——马六甲国际邮轮码头 (MICT) 项目的桩基工程已完成 56%，截至 10 月 3 日已安装 170 根桩。

马六甲首席部长拿督斯里阿布·拉乌夫·尤索夫表示，剩余的 134 根桩预计将于 11 月中旬安装完毕，MICT 项目开发包括几个关键部分，包括 L 形码头、T 形码头和海关、移民和检疫 (CIQ) 综合体。

“对于‘L’形码头部分，开发商计划在明年年底前完成建设，然后在2028年初开始运营；而‘T’形码头和CIQ综合体预计将于2029年完工。

“马六甲国际贸易中心码头的开发对马六甲来说具有巨大的潜力，因为它与该州作为旅游目的地的优势直接相关，尤其是在扩大国际邮轮旅游市场方面，”他今天在马六甲岛告诉记者。

KAJ Development Sdn Bhd (KAJD) 执行主席 Datuk Daing A Malek Daing A Rahaman 也出席了此次访问。

阿布·拉乌夫表示，马六甲国际贸易中心 (MICT) 的发展将为马六甲开辟另一个国际海上门户，从而为未来吸引更多国际邮轮和游客到访该州铺平道路。

他指出，根据已提出的计划，马尼拉国际贸易中心预计每年可接待约 800 艘邮轮，接待能力高达 160 万名乘客，总投资额达 20 亿令吉，并有可能创造超过 1 万个就业机会。

“目前，我们每周一接待 4,800 名游客，每周四接待 3,000 名乘坐云顶梦号游轮抵达的游客。

“我们看到了蓝色经济在这个领域的潜力；与 KAJD 的私​​人融资计划 (PFI) 合作有望为马六甲带来显著的经济回报，”他说。

与此同时，他表示，州政府将继续确保各部门和机构的所有行动事项得到良好协调，以促进该项目的发展。

他还补充说，开发商还应确保项目的每个组成部分都按照商定的技术规范、安全标准和时间表进行开发。

马六甲国际贸易中心（MICT）是马六甲门户发展计划的关键组成部分，建成后将成为东南亚最大的邮轮码头，从而在马六甲州的海运业中发挥举足轻重的作用。——马新社
