Kuantan port set for upgrade
Kuala Lumpur: Authorities are looking at deepening Malaysia’s Kuantan port to 18 m depth as trade between ASEAN and China hots up. The aim is to get the project completed by 2016. Kuantan, on the South China Sea, has growing maritime links to China’s Guangxi province. It takes just three days sailing time from Kuantan to China’s Qinzhou port. [24/09/12]
