Sabah port gets major capacity boost

PETALING JAYA: Sapangar Bay Container Port (SBCP), which handles most of the container throughput of Sabah, will more than double its handling capacity under the initial phase of an expansion programme.

Suria Capital Holdings Bhd, whose unit Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd has been made the implementing agency for the programme, told Bursa Malaysia that construction work for the first stage would start early next year and be completed by 2019.
