Kuantan Port welcomed a momentous arrival—the NORDBORG MAERSK. It marked the inauguration of a new service by MAERSK, offering a direct route from China to Kuantan Port in approximately ten days.
The Southbound rotation of the MAERSK Intra Asia 9 (IA9) service, encompassing ports from Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Ho Chi Minh, Sihanoukville, Kuantan Port, Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas, and Penang, underscores the strategic importance of our port in the region’s maritime trade network.
This simple yet meaningful maiden call event stood out as a memorable milestone in the history of Kuantan Port and the broader maritime industry. Kuantan Port expressed its gratitude for this development, recognising its potential to boost Malaysian trade, particularly in the East Coast region.
