PTP Becomes the First Port in Asia to Extend its Maritime Industry Vaccination Programme to Seafarers

Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd (PTP), a member of MMC Group, became the first port in Asia to extend its Maritime Industry Vaccination Programme to vessel crews making their port of call in PTP.

The programme was developed based on liners’ request basis and the first vaccination activity was done for the crews of Maersk Atlantic on the 21 October 2021. A total of 12 crews were administered with the first dose of vaccine, given by trained and professional personnel from Medini Gleneagles Hospital, Iskandar Puteri.

Maersk Atlantic was inbounded at PTP after making its port of call at Penang Port. The vessel is scheduled to make its next port of call to Singapore and will return to PTP on 11 November for the second dose of vaccination.

The programme, first of its kind organised by PTP was part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility and Customer Appreciation initiatives aimed at providing safe working environment to the vessel crews and those involve in the port operation. This was also PTP’s effort to express gratitude to the seafarers as frontliners who have been working tirelessly for the people and global economy in these challenging times.
