Description
Summary:This logistics report studies a direction for the strategic development of major container ports in Malaysia, which are competing with emerging Southeast Asian ports. The development of hub-and-spoke systems in the container shipping industry has fostered the growth of hub ports at global choke points, linking major economies such as Asia, the United States, and Europe, where they handle a high volume of traffic in optimal locations. Specifically, Singapore (Singapore), Busan (Korea), Jebel Ali (Dubai, United Arab Emirates), Rotterdam (the Netherlands), Port Klang (Malaysia), Antwerp (Belgium), Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Colombo (Sri Lanka), and Tangier (Morocco) stand as the principal transhipment ports in these strategic locales, securing positions among the top 25 busiest ports worldwide in terms of TEU throughput.
