PTP Breaks World Record for Highest Utilisation of a Container Vessel

Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a member of MMC Group, set a new world record to depart a vessel with a final load over 19,000 TEUs.

The milestone was accomplished when the Monaco Maersk, one of Maersk’s 2nd Generation Triple-E vessels, left the port with the record load of 19,284 TEUs - surpassing the previous record load of 19,190 TEUs achieved by the MOL Tribune vessel in February this year.

Efficient planning and execution of container operations and good optimisation of resources were identified as the reasons behind the feat. The record-breaking load marks a sign of strategic progress for both PTP and Maersk.

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