Tanks and Terminals,
This project includes the installation of 22 stainless steel 304 storage tanks with a total capacity of 68 600 m3 and facilities to cater for the trucks, pipelines and shipment operations. Terminal 2 (T2) also includes five additional export lines to the newly completed jetty 4A to further improve efficiencies and the terminal's ability to meet the storage and handling needs of our customers.
Work on the new terminal began in 2022 and has been a truly collaborative effort between multiple partners, including the local and federal authorities, Port Klang Authority (PKA) represented on the day by Mr. Sri Muhunan and WESTPORTS Malaysia Sdn Bhd represented by Mr. Nanthakumar. The opening ceremony as an opportunity to give special thanks and present partners with a commemorative plaque in honour of their contributions.
In his speech, President of Stolthaven Terminals, Guy Bessant, also thanked the Stolthaven Westport management team led by Mr. KC Goh and organising committee, led by Nicholas Lim, as well as joint-venture partners, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad (KLK). KLK Chairman Tan Sri Dato' Seri Lee Oi Hian and Chief Operating Officer Lee Jia Zhang was in attendance on the day.
Guy said: "Last year, we celebrated Stolthaven Westport's 25th anniversary. Stolt-Nielsen initially invested in the terminal in 1997 when the capacity was less than 30 000 m3. Today marks another key milestone as we stand here today with a total capacity of 280 000 m3."
Stolthaven Westport is located in Port Klang, Malaysia and functions as a break-bulk facility for domestic distribution, a make-bulk facility for export and as a regional distribution hub. The terminal is 2 km from the Westport Container Terminal, which is being developed as Malaysia's main port and facilitates packaged exports throughout the region.
