Kuantan Port Consortium Sdn. Bhd. (Kuantan Port) proudly welcomed MV Albero on her maiden call to Kuantan Port, operated by Konsortium Perkapalan Timur under the Perdana Timur Service.

This marks a historic milestone, as it revives direct container shipping between Kuantan and ports in Sabah and Sarawak. This connection has not been available for over 30 years, with the last direct service being the Cruise Muhibah.

The new service provides businesses with a more efficient and reliable option for cargo movement, reducing transit time and improving connectivity between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia.

Current service routes include:
▪ Pasir Gudang – Kuantan – Kuching – Bintulu – Kuantan
▪ Kuantan – Tanjung Langsat – Pasir Gudang – Kuching – Bintulu – Kuantan

Kuantan Port remains committed to supporting regional trade growth and strengthening Malaysia’s maritime connectivity, while exploring opportunities to facilitate businesses and create new trade pathways.

Kuantan Port paid a courtesy visit to the Pahang State Road Transport Department (JPJ) as part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration with key regulatory stakeholders. The delegation was led by the General Manager of the Kuantan Port Authority, Puan Hasnita Binti Mohd Hanapiah, together with the Chief Operating Officer of Kuantan Port, Mr Chan Weng Yew, and the Senior Manager, Government Liaison of Kuantan Port, Dato’ Azahari Bin Muhammad Yusoff.

The delegation was warmly received by the Director of JPJ Pahang, Tuan Haji Syed Ahmad Khirulanwar Alyahya Bin Syed Abdul Rahman. The engagement facilitated meaningful discussions on road safety, regulatory compliance, and the management of vehicle and driver licensing in support of safe and efficient port operations.

Kuantan Port extends its sincere appreciation to JPJ Pahang for the constructive engagement and warm hospitality. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership with state agencies in enhancing port operations and logistics, while ensuring full compliance with applicable regulations within the port area.
