BEIJING: Doctors in China have united behind a primary schoolboy who was penalised for answering a mathematics question with a medical diagnosis.
KUALA LUMPUR: Port Klang is fully capable and ready to handle the influx of containers and liners redirected to Malaysia to avoid longer wait times in Singapore due to the maritime logjam in the island republic, which includes berth congestion and delays.
"Port Klang is not congested as we have 12 container ships waiting at outer anchorage, which not more than 12 hours to 24 hours to be cleared,” he told Bernama. According to DHL Global Forwarding’s Ocean Freight Port Situation Update, the delays in Singapore could take more than five days due to berth congestion and high yard density, while for Port Klang, the delays are around two days to five days due to high yard density.
"However, with ongoing delays in vessel berthing in Singapore by June, the influx of containers eventually led to higher yard density at Port Klang. "When one port faces challenges, the other can absorb some of the ripple effects, demonstrating why liners need dual hubs in the region to maintain smooth operations,” he said.
Meanwhile, Federation of Malaysian Freight Forwarders president Datuk Tony Chia Han Teun said Malaysian ports may consider these unexpected ship calls a temporary windfall, especially when they have available or excess capacity over their scheduled shipping lines' calls.
