The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) has set a new record by handling 1.11 million TEU in July.
PTP’s previous high of 1.07 million TEU, achieved in May of the same year, is followed by this new record.
Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh, PTP Chairman, said: “Our ability to achieve this record-breaking performance without any congestion solidifies PTP’s role as an indispensable link in the global supply chains.”
“By seamlessly managing such substantial cargo volumes, we also demonstrate our capacity to consistently deliver exceptional service to our valued customers and partners, while contributing to Malaysia’s economic growth.”
Mark Hardiman, PTP Chief Executive Officer, stated: “PTP’s pursuit of sustainable growth is demonstrated through our significant emphasis on port asset upgrades and infrastructure enhancements. These efforts align closely with our environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda, safety policies, and digitalisation strategy.
“This approach has enabled PTP to navigate global congestion challenges effectively while
allowing for continued improvements and expansions.”
In June, PTP and Northport both reported record monthly throughput bolstered by the impact of the Red Sea crisis.
