Port Klang Business Objectives
IMPROVING PORT FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
Port
Klang is a supply-driven port, ensuring that there is always excess capacity and
capability to handle increased traffic and cargo handled.
•
Oversee the two main cargo terminal operators and ensure they have enough
equipment such as cranes and infrastructure).
•
Invest in ICT improvements, in the form of PortNet.
PLANNING TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Ready
availability of multi-modal logistical infrastructure is a main driver for trade.
While much of the world’s cargo is seaborne, ensuring that the cargo gets
to and from the ports that link the world together quickly requires a comprehensive
transportation network.
•
Negotiate with relevant government authorities ways and means of improving
transportation linkages, not only on the high seas but also road and
rail transport.
•
Ensure MASKargo has an office in Port Klang to handle Lower Than Container Load (LCL) and delayed cargo,
which need to be transported quickly via the airways.
STREAMLINING PROCESSES AND ENHANCING COMMUNICATIONS
As
an international port, Port Klang’s livelihood depends on attracting more shipping
lines and shippers to use the port. Hence, providing high quality and efficient
services to the port customers is of paramount importance.
•
Revise process and procedures, reduce red tape and increase throughput.
•
Simplify transshipment documentation and requirements.
•
Update existing regulations to reduce burden
Making
various bureaucratic processes more streamlined is only part of the solution.
The other part is in ensuring that the various users of the port as well
as its surrounding facilities are made aware of the simpler procedures.
•
Create a documentation flowchart for Port Klang, along with MITI, the various
terminal operators, and the freight forwarders for all port-related processes.
