Sarawak Shell, not a box carrier, sets the rhythm at Lutong, the offshore tanker facility serving the Port of Miri on Malaysia's Sarawak coast. Three single buoy moorings (SBM) handle crude tankers, the largest taking vessels up to 125,000 dwt at around 17 m draft, which makes Lutong the country's leading oil-export point. The former Shell refinery, built in 1914 and closed in 2004, now operates as the Miri Crude Oil Terminal (MCOT) under Petronas. Forwarders should read this clearly: Lutong moves liquid energy cargo, not containers, reefer or breakbulk. General and project cargo for the region clears through nearby Miri, while containerised shipments for Sarawak route via Bintulu or Kuching. There is no established container service or box customs operation at Lutong itself.
