KUALA LUMPUR: Port Klang handled a record-breaking container volume of 13.74 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) last year, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

However, this also means that its Westport and Northport are reaching full capacity, making it necessary for the previously announced third port to be developed.
