The Ministry of Transportation has issued a press release regarding Record Breaking Performance at Port Klang – press release as follows:
Port Klang handled a record breaking Container Volume of 13.605 M TEUS as of 28 December 2021. Despite the many challenges of Covid-19 as well as the spillover effects of container shortages, port congestions and most recently, adverse weather conditions, Port Klang has managed to achieve this stellar performance surpassing its 2019 record of 13.58 M TEUS.
This growth is attributed largely to the Government’s proactive measures to facilitate Malaysia’s Port and Logistics sector during the pandemic, keeping the industry ticking towards meeting the demands of both domestic and international markets. The introduction of several economic stimulus packages aimed at increasing consumer spending resulted in higher demand for consumer goods leveraging on e-commerce platforms to expedite distribution and delivery. The roll out of vaccination programs for port and logistics sector workers in June 2021 provided the assurance and protection for the industry to resume full operations.
A big part of this success is due to the commitment and coordinated efforts of Port Klang’s logistics players and government agencies led by Port Klang Authority. The terminal operators, Northport and Westports managed their operations admirably to handle additional volumes by optimizing the resources available and relying on increased use of digitalization to overcome numerous challenges.
