Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a joint venture of Malaysia’s MMC Group and APM Terminals, closed 2025 with a record 14,028,375 TEUs. It is the first single terminal in Malaysia to surpass 14 million TEUs.
Malaysia’s Minister of Transport, Anthony Loke, said, “PTP’s growth from 11.2 million TEUs in 2021 to 14 million in 2025 demonstrates its operational discipline, scale, and execution strength. Reaching this milestone in its 25th anniversary year is especially meaningful.”
PTP Chairman Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh added, “This achievement sets a new national benchmark. It reflects our team’s commitment and the trust of our customers. We maintained a monthly average of 1.2 million TEUs without congestion.”
CEO Mark Hardiman noted, “In December alone, we reached 13 million and 14 million TEUs. This marks a defining moment for PTP, placing us in a new league of operational performance.”
The Pelepas Free Zone also grew by 8% in 2025. Its 7 million sq. ft. warehouse space reached 98% occupancy, driven by e-commerce, FMCG, sports apparel, auto parts, and construction materials.
PTP celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gala attended by government officials, shipping customers, free zone tenants, partners, and shareholders. Awards recognized long-term partnerships, throughput leaders, and industry excellence.
PTP was named a 5-Star Lister on the ESG Select List 2025 by the UN Global Compact Network Malaysia & Brunei. It is the first port in Johor and the only maritime company in Malaysia to earn this distinction.
