Stolthaven Terminals expands Malaysian operations
Stolthaven Westport celebrated the official opening of its new Terminal 2 (T2) in Malaysia – offering customers enhanced efficiency and additional storage capacity.
This project included the installation of 22 stainless steel 304 storage tanks with a total capacity of 68,600m3 and facilities to cater for the trucks, pipelines and shipment operations.
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 was a collaborative effort between multiple partners, including the local and federal authorities and Port Klang Authority (PKA).
President of Stolthaven Terminals Guy Bessant 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 30,000m3. Today marks another key milestone as we stand here today with a total capacity of 280,000m3.”
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 two kilometres from the Westport Container Terminal, which is being developed as Malaysia’s main port and facilitates packaged exports throughout the region.
