The productivity is further enhanced due to their twin-lift capability. The Port of Tanjung Pelepas allows round-the-clock berthing for all vessels due to the absence of weather or tide restrictions.

Tanjung Pelepas is a strong port acting as a gateway and Malaysia’s leading container port at the same time. We use them to give you the best experience. The first phase, completed in 1999, saw the development of six berths with a 2,800m waterfront.

Overall volume for Q1 2020 at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) was “beyond expectations”, largely due to the contribution of transhipment cargo.However, local cargo which is a fraction of the port’s total volume recorded a decrease as expected due to COVID-19 global pandemic.From a terminal perspective, PTP will be investing in additional equipment as well as reassessing the current footprint envisaged to increase its terminal handling capacity and capabilities.This includes the procurement of 10 additional full electrical twin lift rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes which were safely delivered to PTP in May 2020 and the arrival of four new ship-to-shore (STS) super post-Panamax quay cranes in June 2020.The super post-Panamax cranes, able to handle the biggest vessels in the market, are part of an order by PTP for eight cranes last year to enable the port to create a new full capacity berth to receive these mega vessels.

Built over a total area of 1 .8 million square metres, the container yard can handle eight million teus per year. Coordinates The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP, UN/Locode: MYTPP) is a container port located in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia, and is part of the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network, which holds a minority share in the joint venture. Feasibility studies were carried out by Moffatt & Nicol Consultants in association with Engineering and Environmental Consultants. There are 4,161 reefer points and fresh water to the berthed vessel is provided via pipe.

However, local cargo which is a fraction of the port’s total volume recorded a decrease as expected due to COVID-19 global pandemic.

Senai Airport, Malaysia and Singapore Changi Airport are the two nearest airports.

Along with more than 296 acres of container yard, the Tanjung Pelepas port has nearly 214,000 TEU in storage space Port of Tanjung Pelepas | 21,053 followers on LinkedIn | The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) is Malaysia’s largest container terminal.

The remaining four quay cranes are expected to arrive by July 2020.This acquisition will also complement PTP’s earlier upgrading of its berths and channel dredging, which had deepened the draft to 18.0 m, going to 18.5 m by end of 2020.Since free zone land is almost at a full take up rate, PTP will also continue to develop and start the next phase of its free zone expansion.The extension of Pelepas Free Zone, accounts for 100 acres of land that is currently being developed with necessary infrastructure for leasing in 2023.Prospective investors can lease land parcels for 30 years at competitive rates to build warehouses for short and long-term rentals, or factories for light and environmentally friendly manufacturing activities.Marco Neelsen, CEO of PTP, said: “We are expanding our free zone land as we foresee the interest and growth in our free zone will remain strong”.“This will deliver leasable land primarily targeting regional distribution centre (RDC) set-ups to Multinational Corporations (MNC) and global manufacturers.”With regards to digital processes, PTP has successfully migrated its terminal operating system (TOS) to Navis N4 in 2019, representing one of the largest such terminal system migration projects yet undertaken.This year, PTP has recently announced the successful go-live of its First Phase intelligent Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) to transform and streamline the company’s core back-end operations such as finance, human resources and procurement to keep up with the changing digital landscape.An asset digitisation project is also scheduled for this year to provide a full digitised view of all terminal equipment. Tanjung Bin is a point in Johor and has an elevation of 3 metres.
