Kuantan Port, an all-weather port operating all year round is a multi-cargo deep seaport facing the South China Sea. Strategically located on the eastern seaboard of Peninsular Malaysia and in the heartland of petrochemical industries, the port has developed into a major container terminal for the east coast region. Supported with excellent port facilities and services, a vast market outreach and a strong network of global shipping connections, the port will be a catalyst for the rapid expansion of the industrial and manufacturing activities in the East Coast Industrial Corridor. Upon completion of the NDWT, Kuantan Port is envisaged to be the main gateway to China and the Far East and shall act as a transhipment hub for minor ports in the region.
