India, Malaysia Plan Port City

An extension of the world’s 11th busiest shipping port in Malaysia is being planned by an Indian-Malaysian conglomerate to create a huge maritime city close to the capital Kuala Lumpur.

Port Klang currently handles over 12 million containers per year and is also the planned start point for the 600km East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) to the Thai border.

Two Malaysian companies – Sime Darby and MMC – and India’s largest private port operator Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) signed an MoU on 3 April to conduct a feasibility study on extending Carey Island as an extension of Port Klang.

“Malaysia is very strategic to APSEZ’s global strategy,” said Karan Adani, chief executive of APSEZ in a press statement.
