The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a joint venture between utilities and infrastructure group MMC Corporation Berhad (70%) and APM Terminals (30%), a global ports group with a global port network in 74 countries, made a history as it handled over 12.25 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in a single year in 2024, according to PTP release.
As disclosed, the 12 millionth TEU was recorded on the evening of December 23, 2024, surpassing its previous record of 11.2 million TEUs in 2021.
“By seamlessly handling such substantial container volumes, we have consistently delivered exceptional services to our valued customers and partners, contributing to Malaysia’s economic growth and reaffirming PTP’s position as one of the world’s most efficient and high-volume container terminals,” PTP chairman Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh remarked.
PTP chief executive officer Mark Hardiman added that PTP aims to sustain this momentum and achieve even greater milestones in 2025 and beyond.
“We have made extensive preparations for the future, focusing not only on port asset upgrades and infrastructure enhancements, but also on advancing our environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda, strengthening safety policies, and driving our digitalisation strategies.
“These efforts ensure continuous improvements and expansions as we anticipate a significant increase in volume in the coming year,” he added.
