MALAYSIA's port Klang handled a record-breaking 13.64 million TEU as of December 28, 2021, surpassing its 2019 record of 13.58 million TEU, reports The Star.
Transport minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong declared the growth is attributed to the government's proactive measures to facilitate Malaysia's port and logistics sector during the pandemic.
'The introduction of several economic stimulus packages aimed at increasing consumer spending resulted in higher demand for consumer goods leveraging on e-commerce platforms to expedite distribution and delivery,' said Mr Siong.
'The rollout of vaccination programmes for port and logistics sector workers in June 2021 provided the assurance and protection for the industry to resume full operations.'
Mr Siong declared a big part of this success is due to the commitment and coordinated efforts of Port Klang's logistics players and government agencies led by Port Klang Authority.
