Despite sitting on the world's busiest sea lane, the Strait of Malacca, Melaka handles no deep-sea container lines and works instead as a regional bulk and general-cargo port. Its main traffic is agribulk for animal feed — maize, rice and wheat bran, soybean meal and tapioca pellets — together with diesel fuel oil and assorted general cargo. Shallow berths of around 3.4 m at the cargo quay limit calls to smaller bulkers and breakbulk vessels. The port offers dry-bulk and general-cargo berths, warehousing and on-site customs clearance for quick handling. Forwarders needing container or mainline services route through Port Klang or Tanjung Pelepas instead.
