Run as a joint venture between Malaysia's MMC Group (70 percent) and Maersk's APM Terminals (30 percent), Tanjung Pelepas (MYTPP) has become the country's flagship transshipment gateway. The terminal handled 12.3 million TEU in 2024 — the first Malaysian port to cross 12 million — and closed 2025 at 14.03 million TEU, up about 13.8 percent. Sitting on the Strait of Malacca opposite Singapore, it captures mainline services that need a deep-water relay point, with around 90 percent of throughput being transshipment between mother vessels and feeders serving over 300 ports worldwide. Fourteen berths along roughly 5 kilometres of quay and channel depths near 14 to 15 metres accommodate the largest container ships afloat. An adjacent free-trade zone and logistics park adds warehousing and value-added distribution. Road and rail links open up the industrial hinterland of Johor and the Iskandar Malaysia development corridor. For shippers, Port Klang is the main domestic alternative for gateway cargo, while Singapore lies just across the strait for import volumes. Limited ship-repair facilities mean vessels needing heavy maintenance look elsewhere in the region.
