Question 2
Read the case study below and answer the following questions:
Penang Port Sdn Bhd is set to be a focal point for shipping and
transhipment

4. activities as one of its main terminals, the North Butterworth
Container Terminal
(NBCT), was recently gazetted as a free commercial zone
(FCZ). The company said
the process of obtaining the FCZ status was an uphill task for
Penang Port.
Penang Port has started the initiative to gazette NBCT as a FCZ
since 2007. It was
only in 2018 when Penang Port Commission (PPC) and Penang
Port finally revisited
the plan to gazette the entire NBCT by requesting approval and
support from the
Penang State Economic Planning Unit.
"The gazettement of NBCT involves 10 lots of land covering the
total area of 83.57
hectares. One of the most impactful activity after the
gazettement of NBCT as FCZ
will be transhipment. Transhipment is the shipment of goods or
containers to an
intermediate destination before being taken to another
destination," it said.
Apart from job opportunities, the port could leverage on the
FCZ status to entice
investors around the world to conduct value-added activities
such as break-bulking,
grading, repackaging, relabelling, transit and re-export. With
the establishment of the
FCZ in NBCT, foreign companies will be able to use the
facilities before exporting
their products overseas. This will also benefit Penang Port in
the long run through
the exempt of customs duty, excise duty, sales tax and service
tax except for certain

5. goods. In addition, the local workforce and port operations wil l
be much more
efficient once the facilities are upgraded; cutting-edge
technologies are implemented
and introduced to cater to the foreign investors.
3
The FCZ operations will commence in March 2021 and this will
put Penang on the
world map as NBCT will be able to cater to activities such as
high-tech warehousing
and logistics facilities, thus spearheading the positive economic
growth in the
Northern region of Malaysia.
Meanwhile, it said upon completion of the NBCT T1 project,
the overall capacity
increased to 2.3 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs)
from 2.1 million TEUs.
"The increase of 200,000 TEUs will boost berth utilisation and
reduce vessel waiting
time to berth," it said.
