Westports ups capacity amid supply constraints


“Containers now tend to stay longer in our ports which is not great because we would rather it have a quicker turnaround time. But they are staying longer because there are so many supply chain disruptions: mainly due to border controls and the lockdowns occurring in some countries,” Westports’ group managing director Datuk Ruben Emir Gnanalingam (pic) tells StarBizWeek.

SUPPLY chain disruptions have necessitated a change in the way Westports Holdings Bhd handles cargo that goes through Port Klang.

The largest public listed port operator in the country, which services the main entry point for cargo to central Peninsular Malaysia and a key port along the Straits of Malacca, has allocated some capital to this new development accordingly.
