Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) is set to enhance its container throughput in full swing, including the addition of six new container berths for up to 3 kilometres range, with a view to accommodate up to 22.2 million TEUs.

PTP Chairman, Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh noted that the immediate plan for PTP is to embark on a comprehensive upgrading, refurbishment of our quay cranes, rubber tyred gantries (RTGs) and replacement of PTP’s existing equipment to increase the handling capacity from the current 10.5 million twenty-footer equivalent units (TEUs) to 13.2 million TEUs annually. This will be followed with the development of Phase 3 which is expected to take place in 2018. Phase 3A and 3B which consist of 6 new berths of three kilometres in length will enable PTP to increase its handling capacity to 22.2 million TEUs before 2030.
