ith a vision to be the preferred port of choice in Southeast Asia, the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) strives to provide unrivalled port services to the global market.

Just 45 minutes from the confluence of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, PTP’s strategic location makes it easily accessible from the Straits of Malacca.

Situated on the eastern side of the mount of the Pulai River in Southwest Johor, PTP is a naturally sheltered deep water port near the MalaysiaSingapore Second Crossing with a turning basin of 600 metres and 12.6 kilometres of access channel for twoway traffic.

Accorded with Free Zone status in 1997 and Free Zone Authority management in 1998, PTP is governed by the Free Zone Act 1990 which is enforced by Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance. This status promulgates the local container trade volumes of the port and forms part of the hinterland cargo catchment area.

PTP has experienced steady growth since the port opened 15 years ago, when it first moved 400,000 TEU in 2000.

Free Zone advantages

There are many benefits and advantages of doing business in a Free Zone. The direct connection to the port terminal provides efficient and cost effective container movement between the Free Zone and the port, creating convenience for the container trade.

Moreover, companies are exempt from customs, sales and service taxes; all customs formalities regarding all import and export declarations are carried out using internal Free Zone Information Processing Systems (FZIPS).

PTP’s operations are as environmentally friendly as possible,

providing good connectivity by sea, road, air and rail to the rest of the world via an integrated logistics hub within the Iskandar Economic Zone.

The company’s international standard of security compliance ensures a safe and secure business environment with an abundant supply of water and electricity.

Phase One and Phase Two account for approximately 256 hectares and have been developed with basic infrastructure requirements such as electricity supply, water supply, telecommunications facilities, roads and drainage.

Pelepas Port’s pilotage service is provided by PTP round the clock. Vessels approaching the pilot station from the East or westbound lane are advised to approach the channel at an angle of not more than 20 degrees.

This is due to the existence of cross current at the entrance area. A guide for entering the channel will be the first pair of buoys and the sector light.

The Racon (M) fitted to the Tanjung Piai beacon can also be used as an approaching guide by parallel indexing should the need arise. All vessels operating within the port limit area are under the surveillance of the Port Radar System (PRS).

Towage

The shipmaster upon the advice of the pilot shall determine the number of tugs to be deployed. All tugboats are fitted with fire fighting equipment and 40 tonne bollard pull with 3,200 horsepower engines.
