Port Klang handles record 13.64 million TEUs containers this year

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong

KUALA LUMPUR: Port Klang handled a record-breaking container volume of 13.64 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) as of Dec 28, 2021, surpassing its 2019 record of 13.58 million TEUs despite the many challenges of COVID-19 as well as the spillover effects of container shortages, port congestions and most recently, adverse weather conditions.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said this growth is attributed largely to the government’s proactive measures to facilitate Malaysia’s port and logistics sector during the pandemic, keeping the industry ticking towards meeting the demands of both domestic and international markets.
