[KUALA LUMPUR] With two ports ranked among the world’s top 15 and container volumes surging, Malaysia is fast becoming a key maritime transit hub in global trade.
In 2024, Port Klang’s throughput grew by 4.2 per cent year on year, while the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) recorded nearly 17 per cent growth – its fastest in recent years – as both ports together handled 26.9 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs).
PTP also made history as the first Malaysian port to process more than one million TEUs in a single month.
