Pelepas Free Zone: Southern Malaysia logistics hub

MGCC Perspectives

Pelepas Free Zone consists of 1,600 acres of land area. It currently houses over 40 companies which employ 11,000 people and contributed RM2.8 billion investments. These companies operate warehousing and light manufacturing activities and enjoy a hassle-free business environment with minimal red tape supported by 24/7 port operations and security.

Import-export approvals and clearances are authorised by PTP’s Free Zone Authority through internal IT system without additional Customs’ documentation requirements. The trucking services for movement of containers to and from warehouses are also competitively priced without brokerage fees. Dedicated Customs Green Lane access with truck levy exemptions are privileges to tenants to conduct efficient and cost-effective cross border cargo movements to Singapore via the Second Link.

An extension of 100 acres of land is currently being developed for leasing in 2023. Investors can lease land parcels for 30 years at competitive rates to build warehouses or factories for short and long term rentals.
