Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd (PTP), a joint venture between Malaysia's MMC Corporation Berhad and Netherlands-based, APM Terminals, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing its previous record and becoming the first container terminal in Malaysia to handle over 12.25 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEUs) in a single year.
The 12 millionth TEU was recorded at about 7:00 p.m. on 23 December 2024, marking a defining moment in PTP’s history.
This remarkable achievement, exceeding the 11.2 million TEUs handled in 2021, solidifies PTP's position as Malaysia's leading and largest transshipment hub.
2024 has been a record-breaking year for PTP. On 22 September 2024, PTP achieved an exceptional 14,036 quayside moves within a single 12-hour shift while in July 2024, PTP achieved its highest monthly milestone, handling 1,115,181 TEUs. These achievements are part of a sustained performance that saw PTP handle over one million TEUs per month for seven months since May 2024.
In December 2024, PTP successfully implemented Kaleris’ Navis N4 4.0 container terminal operating system, a key upgrade to support future volume growth while maintaining operational excellence.
PTP is now ranked as the fifth most efficient container port in the world, according to the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) 2023 by The World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence. PTP is also ranked 15th among the world’s top container ports in terms of volume throughput, as highlighted by Lloyd’s List.
