Kuala Lumpur: The government needs to boost port infrastructure in Sabah and Sarawak, MTT Shipping managing director Ooi Lean Hin has said.
"There are still multipurpose terminals that service not just container ships, but also other conventional ships. Port congestion is an issue," Ooi told local media after MTT Shipping's vessel MTT Port Klang made its first call at Westports here on Saturday.
"Although we can see some efforts to improve and we see some investment coming into Bintulu and Kota Kinabalu, it takes time to get teams organised in order to reach a productivity level that we are experiencing in ports in Peninsular Malaysia like Port Klang and Port of Tanjung Pelepas," he said.
The 1,200 teu MTT Port Klang is the latest vessel to join MTT Shipping's fleet of four ships that are servicing Malaysian trade between the West and East Malaysia. [13/03/13]
