Johor Port

The Johor Port (Malay: Pelabuhan Johor) is a port located at Pasir Gudang, Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia. Built by the Johor Port Authority and run by Johor Port Berhad in 1977, it is the first port in Johor and is designed as a multi-purpose port that caters to practically all types of cargo. It is the first port in Malaysia to be located within a free trade zone. Johor Port's warehouses are exempted from customs duties. Duty is only payable when the cargo is released from the warehouse area for local consumption.

In January 1993, Johor Port Sdn Bhd, a fully government-owned company, took over all port facilities and services from Johor Port Authority which was established in 1973. The port was fully privatised in August 1995 to Seaport Terminal (Johor) Sdn. Bhd. which became the holding company of Johor Port Berhad. Johor Port Berhad is wholly owned by MMC Corp Bhd.

With 5,500 ground slots and an annual capacity of 1,000,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), the terminal's equipment and facilities include:

The port has a fresh water capacity of 1.9 million litres. Water supply to ships is through hydrants on the wharves and on the breasting island of the oil jetty.

Since its inception, Johor Port has been handling liquid bulk cargo, and provides facilities for two different types of liquid bulk cargo:

Johor Port's bulk and break bulk (general cargo) facilities include berths with an overall length of almost 2.4 km, with nearly 200,000 sq. metres of storage facilities. The berth offers 13.8 metres natural depth, easily accommodating dry bulk carriers up to 60,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT). Its gantry crane and the Impsamade level-stuffing crane can handle 800 tons per hour. The other two quay-side cranes are capable of handling 400 tonnes per hour. Johor Port's terminal has 72,000 tonnes of covered storage space for edible cargo, and 87,000 tonnes of covered space for non-edible products. Its conveyor systems are supported by rail-mounted quay cranes that allows berthed ships to be connected directly to its user warehouses. Supporting the port's extensive warehousing facilities are transit sheds and open storage areas that offers customers a choice in logistics options.
