MMC Corp faces delays as port of Tanjung Pelepas expands crane capacity

Port of Tanjung Pelepas

Malaysia’s MMC Corp is proceeding with its planned initial public offering, though local media reports indicate potential delays.

The company intends to offer 4.27 billion shares representing a 30% ownership stake, targeting approximately US$ 2 billion in proceeds.

MMC, which was previously publicly traded until 2021, maintains a 70% stake in Port of Tanjung Pelepas and full ownership of Penang Port, Johor Port, Northport at Port Kelang, and the multipurpose Tanjung Bruas facility.

These terminals collectively possess a combined gross capacity of 21.1 million TEU (unadjusted for equity holdings) and processed 15.9 million TEU in 2024.



MMC also maintains a 12% effective interest in Red Sea Gateway Terminal located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Separately, Port of Tanjung Pelepas took delivery of three new ultra-large container vessel-capable ship-to-shore cranes from Sany Marine Heavy Industry during early August.

Upon completion of all outstanding Sany orders, the terminal will operate fifteen such crane units.
