Free Zone

PTP was accorded Free Zone status in March 1998.The Malaysian government also appointed PTP as a Free Zone Authority (FZA) on June 16, 1999, to administer both the Commercial Free Zone and the Industrial Free Zone. This administration of the FZA functions within PTP ensures smooth and efficient transactions.

Pelepas Free Zone (PFZ) is situated adjacent to the port and terminal and covers an area of about 1,000 acres. This is segmented into different zones depending on the type of activities carried out.

Of this, approximately 400 acres has been designated as Free Commercial Zone (FCZ) reserved for distribution, logistics, and warehousing activities ideal for consolidation, International Procurement Centres, regional distribution centers, and distribution services.
