3. HISTORY
Port Klang is a town and the main gateway by sea into Malaysia.Colonially known as Port
Swettenham, it is the largest port in the country. It is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi)
southwest of the town of Klang, and 38 kilometres (24 mi) southwest of Kuala Lumpur.
In maritime terms, Port Klang actually consists of three distinct ports. The port nearest to
Port Klang town is known as the South Port. There is also a North Port and the newly
developed Westport located on an island just off the coast of Port Klang.
1. 13th busiest transshipment port (2004)
2. 16th busiest container port (2007)
3. 26th busiest port in by total cargo tonnage handled in 2005.

4. LOCATION
LOCATED IN THE DISTRICT OF KLANG
By road
Port Klang lies at the western end of the Federal
Highway, the main expressway linking the major
centres of the Klang Valley like Klang, Shah
Alam, Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.
An elevated expressway linking the South Port (and
hence Port Klang town) and North Port connects to
the Shah Alam Expressway which then leads to
the North South Expressway.
Port Klang is about 40km from Kuala Lumpur and 8km
from Klang.
By bus and taxi
The Port Klang bus and taxi terminal is
inconveniently located about 1km inland from the
port area. One can walk the distance but the heat,
noise and pollution may make it an unpleasant
experience.
Transnasional and Cityliner buses which belong to
the same company, are the main buses serving
Port Klang. No. 710 links Port Klang with Klang and
Kuala Lumpur (Pasarama Kota or Klang Bus Stand)
every half hour while No. 126 shuttles between
Port Klang and Klang.
Other operators, such as Wawasan
Sutera and Metrobus, also operate buses between
Kuala Lumpur and Klang.

5. FUNCTI
ON
1. NORTHPORT’S NEW WHARF, 8A, IS PART OF THE CT4 DEVELOPMENT WHICH COMMENCED
OPERATIONS IN DECEMBER LAST YEAR.
2. IT IS ABLE TO BERTH VESSELS WITH DRAFTS OF UP TO 17 METERS AND WILL INCREASE
NORTHPORT’S ANNUAL HANDLING CAPACITY BY 600,000 TEUS TO REACH 5.6 MILLION
TEUS.
3. NORTHPORT EXPECTS TO UPGRADE ITS WHARF 8, 9 AND 10, WHICH WILL THEN BE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE VESSELS UP TO 14,000 TEUS.
4. TO SUPPORT THE NEW TERMINAL, NORTHPORT HAD ACQUIRED FOUR NEW QUAY CRANES
LAST YEAR, BRINGING THE TOTAL CRANE FLEET FOR QUAY-SIDE OPERATIONS TO 32 UNITS.
5. ALL THE CRANES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A STATE-OF-THE-ART DEVICES TO ENSURE SAFE AND
EFFICIENT OPERATIONS.

7. CONCLUSIO
N
WITH ALL THESE EFFORTS AND INITIATIVES TAKEN, THEY ARE CONFIDENT OF SURPASSING
THEIR 2013 ACHIEVEMENTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO GROW TO BECOME ONE OF THE
LARGEST TRANSHIPMENT HUBS IN THE WORLD AND WE PROJECT PORT KLANG TO HANDLE
10.8 TEUS THIS YEAR.
PORT KLANG AUTHORITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN INCLUSIVE IN ITS INTERACTIONS WITH NOT
JUST TERMINAL OPERATORS BUT SHIPPING LINES AND AGENTS, LOGISTICS SERVICES
PROVIDERS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS WITHOUT WHICH PORT
KLANG SUCCESS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
