Kuala Linggi International Port (KLIP) in Malaysia has announced <\/p>\n

the commencement of construction for its new port facility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Malaysian<\/p>\n

The groundbreaking ceremony, held on 8 February, was performed by YAB Datuk <\/p>\n

Seri Utama Ab. Rauf Bin Yusoh, Malacca\u2019s Chief Minister, and attended by <\/p>\n

dignitaries, government officials, industry leaders, and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

KLIP\u2019s objective is to turn Kuala Sungai Linggi into a Green Global <\/p>\n

Industrial Hub for Energy, Port, and Maritime Services, with completion expected <\/p>\n

in 42 months.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The development plan calls for the building of tank storage, shipyards, <\/p>\n

heavy industrial fabrication yards, hard-standing freight handling areas, <\/p>\n

wharves, and warehousing facilities for RM15 billion ($3.14 billion).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

KLIP also announced the start of the contract granted to China Harbour <\/p>\n

Engineering Co Limited (CHEC) for RM760 million ($125 million). The overall cost <\/p>\n

of this project is reportedly RM1.39 billion ($291 million) for the 620-acre <\/p>\n

island.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

KLIP, as a private port, aspires to raise port facility standards by <\/p>\n

embracing cutting-edge technology, environmentally friendly practices, and <\/p>\n

effective logistical solutions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In his keynote address, Tan Sri Datuk Seri Dr Noormustafa Kamal Yahya, <\/p>\n

Executive Chairman of KLIP, expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from <\/p>\n

the Federal and State Government of Malaysia, local communities, and business <\/p>\n

partners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He emphasized KLIP\u2019s commitment to the highest standards of environmental <\/p>\n

conservation initiatives and sustainability, aligning with global efforts to <\/p>\n

reduce the carbon footprint of maritime operations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tan Sri Noor said: \u201cThe groundbreaking ceremony is a historic milestone for <\/p>\n

Kuala Linggi International Port \u2013 a significant step forward in our mission to <\/p>\n

become a world-class maritime hub.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not just building a port; we are constructing a symbol of progress, <\/p>\n

collaboration, and innovation in the maritime ecosystem that stimulates economic <\/p>\n

development and creates opportunities for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The facilities will be constructed to accommodate tank storage for liquid <\/p>\n

bulk cargoes, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and liquefied natural gas (LNG), as <\/p>\n

well as specific sections for ship maintenance, repair, and overhaul.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The port intends to integrate sophisticated technology such as renewable <\/p>\n

energy, smart logistics systems, and real-time tracking to improve operating <\/p>\n

efficiency and cut turnaround times.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

KLIP\u2019s development phase, which is scheduled to be completed by 2027, is <\/p>\n

expected to catalyse regional economic growth, trade expansion, and technical <\/p>\n

innovation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
