Northport weathers the storm during trying times

Northport chief executive officer Datuk Azman Shah Mohd Yusof said the company had embarked on the “Reinventing Northport” programme since the takeover of Northport by MMC Corp Bhd in 2016.

KUALA LUMPUR: Northport (M) Bhd has hit an all-time high in terms of container volume this year, with its 2021 throughput to date being 20.7% higher than in 2020.

Despite battling “two perfect storms,” namely the Covid-19 pandemic and the recent, unprecedented flash floods, Northport said it successfully discharged the 3,305,765th container from the Interasia Horizon vessel, surpassing the previous record of 3,305,764 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) set in 2010.
