Westports container tariff hike postponed for another month


Activity fell in Malaysia and Taiwan, a sign the U.S.-China trade conflict's impact on the rest of Asia was broadening.

In a filing with the stock exchange yesterday, the port operator said it had received a letter from Port Klang Authority notifying that phase 1 of the revised tariff would take effect on Nov 1, instead of Oct 1.
