3. OF THE THREE PORTS, NORTH PORT IS THE MOST RELEVANT TO IMPORTS AND EXPORTS TO/FROM MALAYSIA.
INTRODUCTION
MOST OF MALAYSIA'S CONTAINERISED IMPORTS AND EXPORTS FLOW THROUGH NORTH PORT. SOUTH PORT IS A VERY OLD PORT MAINLY USED FOR BULK CARGO AND BARTER TRADE. WEST PORT, THE NEWEST OF THE
THREE PORTS IS GROWING RAPIDLY. HITHERTO, IT SPECIALISED IN TRANSHIPMENT ACTIVITY BUT TODAY IS CATCHING UP WITH NORTH PORT IN CONTAINERISED CARGO
HISTORYPort 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.
LOCATIONLOCATED IN THE DISTRICT OF KLANG
By roadPort 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 taxiThe 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.

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.

CONCLUSIONWITH 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.
