Westports Malaysia

Westports primarily manages port operations dealing with container and conventional cargo. It also provides a wide range of port services, including marine services, rental services and other ancillary services.

Westports is located in Port Klang and it is one of the three main ports in the Straits of Malacca that handles gateway and transhipment container cargo, all of which are located in close proximity to the main shipping route along the Straits of Malacca. These ports have the advantage of natural deep water berths which allow them to accommodate large vessels.

Westports serves as the main gateway for container and conventional cargo for central Peninsular Malaysia hinterland. Our container business has grown exponentially from 20,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (“TEUs”) in 1996 to 10.85 million TEUs in 2019. Our market share of container business represents 80% in Port Klang in 2019.

In 2020, the company recorded container volume of 10.5 million TEUs marking us the first and only terminal in Malaysia has handled above 10 million TEUs in a calendar year. For the same period, the conventional cargo recorded 10.9 million tonnes.

Westports’ success is nothing short of phenomenal as it is the leading mega transhipment hub in Malaysia for the main shipping lines. Besides, the success is also attributable to our strategic location, deep channel and wharf, linear berth, high productivity, dedicated young and vibrant employees, connectivity to more than 350 ports around the world, amongst others.
