Port of Tanjung Pelepas Sets World

Record to Depart Over 19,000 TEUs Vessel

Port of Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd (PTP), a member of MMC Group, became the first port in the world to depart a vessel with a final load over 19,000 TEUs.


The milestone was accomplished on 18 August 2018 when Mumbai Maersk, one of Maersk’s 2nd Generation Triple-E vessels left the port with the record load of 19,038 TEUs. The vessel, deployed on the Asia-to-Europe Service (AE5) arrived from Shanghai, China to PTP and is now en route to Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands.


Efficient planning and execution of container operations and good optimisation of resources were identified as the reasons behind the feat.


Despite the current robust conditions, PTP continues to witness a steady volume growth by delivering high efficiency in productivity and competitiveness. This latest achievement is also testament to PTP’s commitment in delivering best in class service to its customers as well as relentless improvement towards its productivity and continuous investment in equipment and facilities.
