Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd’s (PTP) workshop
extension and new rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) maintenance bay
will enable 24-hour maintenance work for RTGs and other types

Kontena Nasional’s new warehouse spans a massive 100,000
sq ft and is in the final stages of construction while successfully
achieving 100,000 safe manhours without any Lost Time
Injuries (LTI) thus far. Anticipated to launch in June 2024,
this warehouse will significantly increase Kontena Nasional’s
efficiency and customer service capabilities.

Tanjung Bruas Port Sdn Bhd (Tanjung Bruas Port) launched its
Container Feeder service from Tanjung Bruas Port to Port Klang
(vice versa) to provide a dedicated feeder service to cater for
shippers from Northern Johor, Melaka Hinterland and Southern
Negeri Sembilan. The first batch of 120 twenty-foot equivalent

Block J last year, adding a capacity of 529,980 TEUs.
