KUANTAN: Kuantan Port’s prospects are underpinned by projects such as Alliance Steel (M) Sdn Bhd’s second expansion phase, the establishment of a carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub with Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS) and the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL).

Kuantan Port Consortium Sdn Bhd (KPC) chief financial officer Chan Weng Yew said Alliance Steel contributes about 30% to 40% of the port’s annual cargo throughput.
