Westports on track to up capacity to 13m teu by 2017 with completion of CT8
Westports Malaysia will boost cargo handling capacity to 13m teu from 11m teu, with the completion of its Container Terminal 8 (CT8) by mid-2017, local reports said.

Ceo Ruben Emir Gnanalingam added that Westports was also building a new container gate for local cargo as well as other back of terminal support facilities to keep pace with the development of the new terminal.

“Our focus is always skewed towards a supply-driven approach to meet our customer demand. With CT8, we will be able to handle big vessels while continuously maintain the highest level of productivity and all other service strings,” he was quoted as saying.
