2022 JULY - SEPTEMBER ISSUE 15
PORT OF TANJUNG PELEPAS
The port forecasts its FY2022 performance to evolve under
global environmental factors, all of which could potentially
cause supply chain and logistical holdups. On its end,
PTP will continue to work closely with its business partners
to grow further volume by inducing more services,
strengthening the shipping lines network in PTP,
and promoting new land banks within its Free Zone
encouraging foreign investment.
PTP continues to invest and upgrade its existing infrastructure
and facilities to heighten capacity and productivity.
A total of seven Ship to Shore Quay Cranes (“QC”) and
eleven 61-Tonne, twin-lift e-RTGs were acquired in April
2021. In September 2022, four units of the QC and four
units of e-RTG Cranes were safely delivered while the
remaining three QCs, and seven e-RTG are expected to
arrive by mid of October 2022.
NORTHPORT
For the rest of the year and beyond, Northport will
continue to embark on ESG initiatives which will focus
on the establishment of procurement guidelines,
the establishment of the Energy Consumption Database
and conducting the Carbon Footprint Baseline Study.
Northport also has its sights set on positioning PKCT for
further growth in the cruise sector segment, with plans
underway to extend the wharf and upgrade the terminal
facilities for more passengers and cruise ship calls, with the
adoption of a green port policy.
PENANG PORT
For the rest of 2022 moving into early 2023, Penang Port
will focus its efforts on conducting the baseline assessment
of carbon emission for Scope 1 & Scope 2 for the port with
the aim of developing sustainable strategies to address
ESG risks and concerns.
In line with this, Penang Port strives to implement
sustainability measures such as establishing and formalising
a Sustainable Governance Structure, developing short-term,
mid-term and long-term strategies for addressing sustainable
development, and embedding ESG into its work culture.
JOHOR PORT
Positioning itself as an Intra-Asia hub purely
due to connectivity with strategic shipping
lines connected to ports serving popular
destinations like China, Korea, Taiwan and
the South East Asia region, Johor Port has
become a choice destination for hubs like
Port Klang and Singapore, whose port
users utilised the convenient road and rail
access to connect their cargoes.
TANJUNG BRUAS PORT
In line with its current commitment
to optimise its port operations based
on current capacity and existing
infrastructures, Tanjung Bruas has drafted
up a Comprehensive Development Plan
to improve the current port facilities
through investments in modern equipment,
supported by a solid backbone of strategic
marketing and business development
initiatives.
KONTENA NASIONAL
Looking to improve its operational
capabilities for the year ahead, Kontena
Nasional is currently initiating plans
to expand its e-fulfilment/e-commerce
business and venture into the ISO container
cleaning services.
Additionally, the company is also planning
to expand its warehouse footprint by
building a new 100,000 sq.ft warehouse in
Pandamaran, which works to improve its
service quality for haulage while enlarging
its share in the niche market segments.
