The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) has become the first container terminal in Malaysia to handle over 12.25 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in a single year in 2024.
The recording of the 12 millionth TEU at 7 PM on December 23, 2024, marked a defining moment in PTP’s history. This milestone surpassed its previous record of 11.2 million TEUs in 2021, significantly contributing to Malaysia’s economic growth, while solidifying PTP’s position as Malaysia’s leading and largest transhipment hub.
Chief Executive Officer Mark Hardiman emphasized PTP’s commitment to sustaining this growth trajectory with strategic investments in infrastructure upgrades, port asset improvements, and enhanced digitalization efforts. Additionally, PTP has focused on strengthening its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives alongside safety policies to ensure readiness for anticipated volume increases.
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.
