Intra-Asian trade boosts Port Klang throughput

The installation of this equipment has been well timed to coincide with the Malaysian government's broader plan to generate economic activity in the country. This has involved attracting investors, developing economic corridors and building infrastructure that is hoped will result in increased trade volumes, which will benefit local ports.

The colossal investments in cargo handling capacity could not have come at a more crucial time; especially as container vessels continue to get bigger in size, thus requiring deeper drafts and longer berthing spaces.

Northport chief executive officer Abi Sofian Abdul Hamid, when speaking to the media, declared in 2012 the port industry had to prepare itself way ahead of industry demands and developments.

"Ships are getting bigger and are calling at fewer ports. The dynamics of shipping trade is changing at a faster pace than ever before. Thus, we have to be ready to move in tandem with all these changes with optimal efficiency.

"In other words, we have to have available capacity and facilities when trades and the world economy pick up as it would take one to two years for a port to construct a new wharf.

"Shipping lines, especially the bigger ones, are also getting quite selective where port efficiency remains an important factor. Trade connectivity is another key element moving forward," he said, adding that the current slump in the world economy and regional container trade was only a temporary glitch that Northport had to brace against.

Clearly there is no lack of effort on the part of Northport to prepare for the future.

It is currently busy dredging to deepen and broaden the channel access into the port and is building a new wharf to be called, Wharf8A.

With the additional wharf and the channel deepening now underway Mr Abdul Hamid said this will allow for an additional 600,000 TEU in annual handling capacity at the port.

It will be some time before that capacity is needed, but with growth in Intra-Asia traffic, which will continue to bolster Port Klang's volumes, the port is looking to ensure it doesn't miss out when volumes do again pick up on the mainline trades.

Besides Port Klang, which Southeast Asian port(s) will also be the
main beneficiaries of the Intra-Asian trade boom? Why?
