Port Klang May Have Third Port In 5-6 Years

Port Klang, which is projected to handle 10.4 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) this year, may have a third port in the next five to six years to help meet the growing demand, Deputy Minister of Transport Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said.

Currently the existing port operators, Northport and Westports, are still able to meet the demand and cater to the needs of shipping lines, he said.

“The third port is part of the Port Klang Development Master Plan to strengthen the world’s 12th busiest port in the future,” he said at a press conference on the sidelines of the ‘Asia – Engine for Growth’ logistics forum and exhibition here today.

Asked if there any plans to increase Port Klang’s tariff structure to be on par with neighbours’, Abdul Aziz said there is no tariff revision at the moment.

“We are trying to offer competitive rates to encourage more vessels to Malaysia,” he said.

The current handling charges for a 20-foot and a 40-foot container are RM230 and RM345 respectively, while transshipment costs RM140 for a 20-foot box and RM210 for a 40-foot box.

The deputy minister said the government is committed to continuing to develop and expand ports in the country including to deepen and widen the entrance to the Kuantan Port, which faces the South China Sea.

“We are going to provide an integrated multi-modal transport system, this can be seen in the efficient highway system we have in place and the double-tracking rail network that is currently being undertaken by the government,” he said.

Abdul Aziz said the government will continue to give strong support to realise Port Klang’s vision to remain the national load centre and be the region’s most preferred logistics hub.

“Both terminals at Port Klang have purchased hybrid equipment in line with the government’s green technology initiative to enhance productivity and efficiency as well as to promote a green environment,” he said.

Port Klang, the premier container port in Malaysia, handled over 10 million TEUs last year.BERNAMA

The 37th ASEAN Ports Association Main Committee Meeting

SPEECH BY THE HONOURABLE
DATUK HAJI ABDUL RAHIM BIN BAKRI
DEPUTY MINISTER OF TRANSPORT, MALAYSIA
AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE
37TH ASEAN PORT ASSOCIATION MAIN COMMITTEE MEETING
22 NOVEMBER 2011 (TUESDAY)

 

 

A very good morning

First and foremost, I would like to thank the organizing committee, Kuantan Port Authority for inviting me to address a few words and to officiate the opening of the 37th ASEAN PORT ASSOCIATION MAIN COMMITTEE MEETING. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a very warm welcome or selamat datang to Malaysia.

The formation of the ASEAN PORT ASSOCIATION or APA goes a long way back to 1974 when it was just a six member association but now it has grown to nine. APA was conceived to provide a venue for port officials in the region to get together not only to share experiences but also to harmonizing broad based issues and finding solutions to problem areas so as to facilitate trade and practices among member countries.

APA has indeed come of age where the discourse is not only among member countries but as a grouping has held dialogues, cooperation and courses/seminar with other countries far and wide from the European Union as well as China and Japan.

The way businesses are conducted these days has evolved and changed with the advent not only of globalization but also the introduction of new technology. Indeed one has to keep up with these changes if not one will be left out in the fast changing world without borders. To stay competitive, trading nations have to look seriously at trade facilitation and how to make the whole process of trading simpler and smoother. In short this means how goods flow faster with minimal interruptions.

Ports being the gateways for the bulk of the world’s trade traffic are key players in trade facilitation. The rapid changes in the marketplace put pressure on ports to respond and indeed ports have to adapt to face these challenges. The role of port is not just confine to providing facilities and services but must match it with efficiency and productivity as well as IT driven. A well developed port infrastructure is thus a vital part of an efficient trading system and network.

The introduction of much larger vessels such as the super cape size and mega container ships has change the landscape of port development and management. To keep in tandem with these changes, the port has need to continuously to train their personnel. These are indeed challenging times which APA has to face.

Ladies and Gentlemen

The Government of Malaysia views the port as an important component of the country’s economic development and much effort has been devoted towards the development of the port industry. This effort can be seen in the growth of the two main ports of the country namely Port Klang and Port of Tanjung Pelepas which is now ranked among the top 20 container ports in the world.
However I would like to stress that the Government of Malaysia is not marginalising other ports. Indeed under the various sectoral economic development of Malaysia,

several projects has been identified in the East Coast region of Malaysia to transform and elevate the region to a higher income based economy. In this regards, Kuantan Port which is situated in the East Coast region will play a pivotal role to serve this region and plans are afoot to enhance the capability of Kuantan Port.

From a humble beginning in 1979, where Kuantan Port was managed and operated by the government through the Kuantan Port Authority, it has now been privatised to Kuantan Port Consortium Sdn Bhd on 1st January 1998. I am happy to note that there is close cooperation between the privates sector namely the port operator and the regulator i.e. Kuantan Port Authority to foster public-private partnership as envisage under the privatisation programme.
This type of partnership is not unique to Malaysia and I am sure that it is working equally well in other ASEAN countries. It is important that both the government and the private sector in ASEAN work in unison in keeping open the channels of cooperation in ports and it is through such meetings and other related forums that we learn from one another through the exchange of experiences and ideas as well as programmes carried out under the auspices of APA.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Looking at the agenda of the meeting there are serious matters to discuss but I hope that the delegates will take time off to explore Kuantan and its beautiful surroundings and to take home fond memories of Kuantan and also that of Malaysia.
I sincerely hope that this meeting will enhanced and foster better relationship between the members of ASEAN port countries. I wish you a productive and fruitful deliberation and successful outcome.

It gives me great pleasure to officially declare the 37th APA Main Committee Meeting open.
Thank You. Terima kasih.

Registry will put Malaysia on world maritime map

THERE are many ships are operating in Malaysian waters but few of them are owned by Malaysians and this needs to be addressed, said Minister of Transport Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

To increase the registration of Malaysian ships, there is a need to ensure that the aspects of development and sea services infrastructure are implemented holistically, sustainably and well planned, he said. “We must be able to compete internationally,” he said.

Towards this, the Malaysia International Ship Registry (MISR), a body for the registering of international ships, has given an alternative option to the shipping community as a whole, he said.

Today, the MISR registered the first Malaysian international ship, “PUTERISIME 786” under its list in the Labuan Registry Port.

The MISR has been established to encourage individual and foreign shipping companies to register their ships in Malaysia without having to comply with the requirement of Malaysian majority share holder, he said at the registration of PUTERISME 786 in Labuan on Saturday.

The MISR would enable the placing Malaysia on the international maritime map.

“I am also fully confident that the MISR will be able to stimulate the shipping economic activities in the country,” Ong said.

Under the ship registry, foreigners are allowed to hold 100 per cent equity in line with the government’s effort to encourage foreign investments in the country.

With the registration of international ships, it would help increase the ships registry capacity and that to be able to handle the country’s transportation trade.

“This would in turn help to develop the maritime industry and create employment opportunities to graduates and Malaysian seamen, be it on ships or with shipping companies,” he said.

Ong said the government would also ensure the registry package is attractive from its company registration composition as well as financing of owning fund

‘Time to review tariffs at Port Klang terminals’

THE Port Klang Authority (PKA), the regulator of Northport and Westports, plans to review the tariff structure at both terminals to bring their rates on a par with their neighbours’.

“People perceive that cheap tariff is the main reason why a shipping line calls at a port. I think that is the least of the reasons, but rather it’s about the efficiency and cost-effectiveness,” PKA general manager Lim Thean Shiang told Business Times in an interview.

He said Port Klang’s tariffs on most of the services it provides have remained unchanged since 1965.

It was reported that current handling charges for a 20-foot and a 40-foot container are RM230 and RM345 respectively. For transhipment, it costs RM140 for a 20-foot box and RM210 for a 40-footer.

“It is not about making more profit, but about helping port operators improve their infrastructure and facilities.

pix_middle“If they don’t get higher tariffs, it is difficult for them to reinvest (in new equipment and facilities); and, if they don’t reinvest, we will never catch up with other (international) ports,” Lim said.

Citing Hamburg as an example, he said that 70 per cent of its operations is automated. Its port charges are about five to six times higher than those at Port Klang.

He has asked that the PKA’s research and development team collect tariff rates of ports in the region, which has several world-class ports, as a benchmark.

Once a review is done, a proposal will be sent to the Minister of Transport for approval.

On another matter, Lim said the port authority had put the dredging of the north channel on hold. It will study the viability of expanding the south channel instead.

The initial plan was to dredge the north channel in two stages to a depth of 15 metres, from 11.3m.

Work to deepen the channel to 13.3m has been completed, but further dredging to 15 metres is pending approval.

Expansion of the south channel waterway from 365m to 500m will allow for two-way traffic.

Lim said the final decision on which project to proceed with will consider the economic and safety benefits to be derived.

While both projects will need about the same amount of capital outlay, further dredging of the north channel would be more costly owing to the maintenance dredging needed to upkeep the depth at 15m.

“I am from the private sector, and it’s all about dollars and cents. All decisions should be based on commercial gain,” Lim said.

Mohidin Bin Ishak, General Manager of Bintulu Development Authority, Heads of Departments from various government agencies and private companies including General Manager of Sabah Ports Authority, Perbadanan Aset Keretapi and representatives from Port Klang Authority and Johor Port Authority.  Welcoming address was delivered by Y. Bhg. Capt. Abdul Rahim Bin Akob, General Manager of Bintulu Port Authority and the keynote address was given by Y. Bhg. Dato’ Jamilah Mohd. Jan, who represented the Honourable YB Minister Of Transport Malaysia.

Historically, Bintulu Port Authority (BPA) began 25 years ago with its establishment on 15th August 1981 under Bintulu Port Authority Act 1981.  It carried with it the responsibilities covering the development, administration, marketing and provision of adequate and efficient port services.  This is aimed at making Bintulu Port the largest and most efficient transport and distribution centre in the region.  Bintulu Port commenced its operations on 1st January 1983.  Bintulu Port Authority is a Federal Statutory Body under the Ministry Of Transport Malaysia.

bintuluport2By 1993, the government had decided to corporatise and subsequently in 2001 privatize the port services operation at Bintulu Port under the privatisation Acts 1990.  For the purpose of carrying out port services operation, Bintulu Port Authority had licensed Bintulu Port Sdn. Bhd. a port operating company.  Following the privatisation of Bintulu Port operations in 1993, Bintulu Port Authority was restructed in accordance with its main function as a regulatory body entrusted to oversee all activities at the port including the utilization of port facilities and operations by licensed port operators, owner of port properties, acts as trade facilitator, planning and development of the Port.  Bintulu Port Authority also overseas and ensures the safety and security in port operations at Bintulu Port and within its water limit.

Bintulu Port is the only export gateway for Malaysia’s biggest export earner – liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced from the Central Luconia field, off the Bintulu coast.   Even though LNG is the main commodity handled at Bintulu Port, a variety of general cargo, liquid and dry bulk and containerized cargoes continue to grow in volume.

Throughout twenty five years of existent, Bintulu Port doesn’t seem to slow down and continue to develop.  The Port has enhanced its operational capabilities considerably to provide greater capacity and capability to meet  the needs of the port users.  From merely 4.14 million tons in 1983, now Bintulu Port handles 36.44 million tones of cargo in 2005.  Ships calling at Bintulu Port have grew to 5,789 ship calls in 2005 from only 1,095 ship calls in 1983.  When it first operational, the main cargo (LNG) was recorded at 1.38 million tones which was handled through only one LNG jetty.  Now the cargo continues to grow with a recorded 22.26 million tones of LNG in 2005, handled through its 3 jetties which the latest one was launched officially on 22nd April 2004 by YB Dato’ Seri Chan Kong Choy, Minister Of Transport Malaysia.  With this development Bintulu Port has become the single largest LNG export terminal in the world with the capacity to handle 23 million tones annually.

On 28th June 2005, YB Datuk Douglas Uggah Embas, Deputy Ministry Of Transport Malaysia, accompanied by General Manager Captain Abdul Rahim Akob witnessed the handing over ceremony of the 2nd Inner Basin and Interconnecting Dyke.  The 2nd Inner Basin will facilitate the port operation especially for ever growing palm oil industry with the oil palm terminal supported by bulking installation located in the area.

Menara Kidurong, the new BPA Corporate Headquarters Building was completed April 2005.  It will play a major role in facilitating the business transaction within the port by becoming the modern one stop centre that will host several government agencies and all major players in the port community, including a fully-equipped Control Tower for overall port surveillance.  The building offers more than 9,000 square meters of rentable office space, a shipping hall, auditorium, cafeteria, exhibition hall and function rooms, basement parking and many other facilities.

bintuluport3BPA commitment to quality was given due recogniction with the accreditation of ISO standard by Independent European Certification (IEC) with the certification of MS ISO9001:1994 in 2001 for “Regulating the operation and handling of LNG at Bintulu Port”.  The objectives were to ensure the quality and safety of LNG operaton at Bintulu Port.  The certification was upgraded to the ISO9001:2000 version on 22nd December 2003.  BPA was also certified to be compliant to the International Ship & Port Security (ISPS) Code with effect from 1st July 2004.  This has placed Bintulu Port on an international footing for all foreign vessels to have confidence in Bintulu Port security measures.  It is also a testimony of Bintulu Port commitment to provide a secure and safe environment for all port users and creates a more comprehensive awareness of threats.

On it’s 25th Anniversary, Bintulu Port Authority has established its indispensable role to ensure the development of maritime trade and port industry in the country and the region.  It plays an important role in the establishment of Bintulu Port as Malaysia’s LNG Gateway and in the establishment of Bintulu as an important logistics and trading hub for this part of the country and region at large.  With vast experience since its inception in 1981, BPA will continue to play its role as the governing body of Bintulu Port, working hand-in-hand with the Port Operator and other agencies to bring Bintulu Port to greater heights and better prepared in meeting future challenges.

Johor Port – Leading Multi-purpose Port in Malaysia Operates in Vibrancy

johorport

Johor Port Berhad (JPB) manages and operates Johor Port in Pasir Gudang, Johor.  In the late 1960’s, the Malaysian Government had responded to the increasing  demands for a port to be established independent of a foreign port.  Thus, Johore Port was established with facilities adequate for the handling of local cargo and managed by Federal Government.  As the industrial hinterland expanded Johor Port began to further develop its facilities and was gazetted as a Free Zone in the early 1980’s.  It was the first port in Malaysia gazetted as a Free Zone following the multiplying benefits to attract more cargo and businesses.

Johore Port handles all port-related activities including terminal management, cargo handling, storage and warehousing, logistics and marine operations.  JPB offers the facilities for multiple modes of cargo, including break bulk (general cargo), dry bulk, liquid bulk and containerised cargo.

Users benefits from value-added

While terminal management and cargo handling remains the Company’s primary business, Johor Port prides itself in offering and extensive range of non-traditional port activities and value-added services for its customers.  This includes the running of the Free Zone within which Johor Port is located.  Johor Port’s control of its Free Zone services allows it to extend its scope of business and further extend the range of services to its customers.

Furthermore, having met the stringent requirements such as good security, efficient Free Zone management and excellent multi-purpose facilities, Johor Port is currently one of only four ports in Asia listed on the London Metal Exchange (LME).  The LME is the world’s largest trading platform for non-ferrous metals, and Johor Port is a safe point of storage and distribution of seven such metals: zinc, copper, lead, tin, nickel, aluminium alloy and base aluminium.

The Port also handles all marine operations within its water limits, including pilotage to private jetties, ship-to-ship transfers, salvage operations and the like, Land-based logistics Sdn. Bhd. (JPL).  JPL also operates all intra-port cargo movement.  JPL itself is expanding its total logistics operations to achieve its aim of becoming a major regional logistics player.  Working in synergistically, JPB and JPL form a comprehensive package of services to supplement the users’ supply and distribution chains.

Fully integrated ICT for speedy processing

Johor Port’s operations are managed through various web-based computer applications that allow for speedy transactions between the user and JPB.  The Johor Port Container Terminal System (JCTS) was recently launched as the beginning of a multi-phase implementation of a fully integrated system that will cover the majority of operations at Johor Port.  This system will incorporate the existing Free Zone Information Processing  System (FZIPS) and Marine Services System (MSS) together with the upcoming Multi-Purpose Terminal System (MPTS), which will manage non-container operations, and Port Safety Management System (PSMS), which will manage safety and security at Johor Port.  The ultimate aim of the integrated system is to provide a paperless and streamlined working environment that will substantially reduce operating time and costs for both Johor Port and its users.

Latest Developments

As Ports globally are increasingly competitive, Johor Port in its quest for higher efficiency and productivity, has been undertaking some intense development work.  The development covers operations facilities, support facilities and infrastructure as well as overall aesthetics.

One of the main upgrades is the revamping of the main entrance control.  Previous Customs checkpoint was demolished and replace.  Johor Port’s own security checkpoints also replace with new, dedicated checkpoints for individual entry to Container Terminal and Breakbulk Terminal.  These checkpoints and equipped with CCTV and centralised communications as well as basic utilities.

Facilities for port safety were also upgraded, with the JPB Port Safety Department office being expanded and renovated to house the Fire & Rescue under one roof.  A new Security Service Centre is now available to provide pleasant and professional ambiance to cater for all security issues pertaining to entrance control.

Roads at the main entrance and key intersections were upgraded to durable, heavy-duty concrete pave.  The construction also involved creating maintenance trenches for communications cables and utilities to reduce the impact of future maintenance work on day-to-day operations at the port.  The completed the package, the landscaping in the area has also been revamped with walkways and new foliage appeasing to users and visitors of the Port, thus making the environment suitably convenient and conducive for businesses.

On the operations, JPB has procured several new cranes, some of which have already been deployed recently.  Three new Rubber Tyre Gantry Cranes (RTG’s) began operations at the Container Terminal in late 2005, with three more to come in 2007.  Also in early 2007, a new Post-Panamax Gantry Crane will be delivered for wharf operations in the Container Terminal, increasing the total number of wharf cranes at the terminal to eight in total.  A bulk-handling crane was also delivered in the middle of 2006 to improve productivity at the Bulk and Break Bulk terminal.  Warehouses are all fully upgraded and built in 2006, making the total covered storage area for Bulk and Break Bulk to 1.5 million square feet in total.

For the users and seafarers, the Port has conveniently provided place, a mariner centre to converge for meetings or pleasures.  With a bank, clinic, a meeting room, a recreational lounge, a gift shop, a restaurant and three cafes, the mariner centre will be a great place for the Port users to rest and relax as well as conduct important business discussions.  The mariner centre also houses JPB Training Centre and a private marine training centre.
