Govt to help shippers pursue alternative modes of transport

“The container and vessel shortages have a ripple effect, causing a myriad of supply chain problems including port congestions, which impacted trade and eventually impacting consumers worldwide, ” MNSC said in a statement

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian National Shippers’ Council (MNSC) has lauded the Transport Ministry’s (MoT) initiatives to assist shippers in pursuing alternative transportation modes, both land and air.

The initiatives include exploring the feasibility of a single land checkpoint at the Malaysia-Thailand border and encouraging airlines to utilise passenger flights for the transportation of goods via the lower deck of the passenger aircraft.
