Tanjung Bruas Port Sdn Bhd (TBP), a member of MMC Group, announced that it now offers container ships services at its terminal, Tanjung Bruas Port. On Thursday, April 18, TBP accommodated its first container vessel West Scent and undertook its first ever project in handling containerized shipment. The West Scent will depart for China’s Humen port after completing its cargo operations.
Specifically, Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh, Chairman of TBP cum Group Managing Director of MMC Corporation Berhad commented
Tanjung Bruas Port will be an important port for import and export to and from the central region and Guangdong Province in China. With the new Container services, the opportunity to import and export freight to and from Melaka will increase significantly via this sea route, with a monthly route to China as a start
The port is strategically located in one of the world’s busiest trade routes at the centre and the narrowest point of the Straits of Malacca.
Therefore, the terminal has the possibility to grow as a gateway in handling containerized cargoes to serve the growing industries in Malacca and the central region of Peninsular Malaysia as well as its neighbouring countries.
The port has established a Comprehensive Development Plan up to 2022 with the goal to enhance the current port facilities with an up-to-date equipment.
