Port of Tanjung Pelepas jumps to 15th in world ranking
Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), which is listed among the top 20 ports in the world, is the only port that saw a jump in its ranking, says Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
He said the encouraging performance was due to the success of PTP, which recorded a growth rate of 8.5% last year. Dr Wee expressed confidence that PTP would be able to record a double-digit growth rate this year based on its excellent performance so far.
“I am confident that in 2021, the growth rate of PTP will be better. If last year the port handled 9.8 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), this year, it is able to handle almost 11 million TEUs. “Based on the performance shown in the last seven months, a double-digit increase will be seen by the end of this year,” he added.
