In celebration of the Port of Kuantan’s golden jubilee, Kuantan Port hosted a golf tournament with 85 participants, including our valued stakeholders from clients and government agencies.

The tournament took place at the picturesque Mahkota Golf & Country Club in Kuantan. The 18-hole event used a ‘Stableford system 36 — handicap of the day’ format, and participants enthusiastically completed the course in just four hours!

Congratulations to all the winners! We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and supported us.

Over 500 high-spirited anglers joined the first-ever fishing competition at Kuantan Port’s new Deep Water Terminal, sharing the thrill of the chase on different types of fish while set against the backdrop of nature’s beauty.

Kuantan Port was thrilled to announce a significant milestone in containerized shipping at the port! In early April, the maiden call of the SITC HAKATA marked a pivotal moment. 

The introduction of the CVM service by SITC Container Lines offers the fastest direct linkage to Nansha, Shekou, Qinzhou, and Haiphong, promising to enhance Kuantan Port’s connectivity and frequency to ports in ASEAN and China.

Kuantan Port extended its heartfelt congratulations to SITC Lines, Captain Shi Bin, Master of the SITC HAKATA, and the entire crew on this achievement!

Kuantan Port had the pleasure of hosting a visit from the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry (MITI), YB Liew Chin Tong, along with esteemed delegates. Welcoming them was the Group CEO and Managing Director of IJM Corporation, Mr Lee Chun Fai, accompanied by the Chief Financial Officer, Dato’ Edward Chong Sin Kiat, and the management team of Kuantan Port.

During their visit, the delegation received a comprehensive overview of Kuantan Port’s history, ongoing developments, and strategic plans. After an informative briefing session, the delegates embarked on a guided tour of our operation area in Kuantan Port 1 and Kuantan Port 2. This tour provided them with firsthand insight into our operational capabilities and cargo-handling processes.

Kuantan Port remains committed to diversifying our business and facilitating international trade, thereby contributing to Malaysia’s long-term economic growth potential.
