Task 6

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.

• Update user guide based on documentation
