Port Klang handled a record 15.14 million TEU in 2025, the highest throughput since operations began in 1973, according to Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook, reported Yahoo News.
The figure marked a 3.4 per cent increase from 14.64 million TEU in 2024, reinforcing the port's position among the world's leading container hubs. Transshipment volumes rose 6.2 per cent to 8.41 million TEU. Mr Loke announced the milestone during the launch of a new seven-storey annex building at the Port Klang Authority. Completed in October 2025 at a cost of MYR21.136 million (US$5.38 million), the facility houses the Vessel Traffic Management System operations room, a multipurpose hall, cafeteria and modern office spaces. Port Klang currently ranks among the world's top 10 container ports. For 2026, the port is targeting 15.37 million TEU, a 1.5 per cent increase, supported by domestic growth and expansion in manufacturing, logistics and trade.
Mr Loke said several infrastructure projects are underway to sustain long-term growth, including the Westports 2 expansion, which will eventually lift capacity to 28 million TEU, and upgrades to Northport.
