The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), Southeast Asia’s fastest growing transshipment hub, created history again by winning the prestigious “Best Emerging Container Terminal Award” for a second time in a row.
PTP won the award based on its phenomenal growth in volume, despite the economic slowdown and the ability to maintain high service level and productivity, the organizers for the award said.
Held in Hong Kong, the third Lloyd’s List Maritime Asia Awards 2001 is organized by Lloyd’s List Maritime Asia, a trade journal published by the renowned shipping daily, Lloyd’s List.
Readers of the publication voted for the top performers in 10 categories, including Best Terminal, Best Main Line Operator, Best Intra-Asian Operator and Best Ship Finance Bank. An international panel of judges decided on the eventual winner in each category.
The final three ports selected for the Best Emerging Container Terminal Award were PTP, Fuzhou Container Terminal Ltd, China and Vietnam International Container Terminal (VICT).
