WESTPORTS HOLDINGS BERHAD Announces Revised Port Tariffs
Date: 14 Jun 2025

WESTPORTS HOLDINGS BERHAD (WHB) has officially announced a revision of port tariffs, which has received approval from the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and was gazetted on June 13, 2025. The company has confirmed receipt of the gazettement letter from the Port Klang Authority, also dated June 13, 2025.

The revised tariff structure will impact various charges, including container terminal handling for imports, exports, transhipments, and other related services. The implementation will occur in three phases: the first phase will see an approximate 15% increase in key container tariff items, particularly terminal handling charges (THC), effective from July 15, 2025. The second phase will introduce an additional 10% increase starting January 1, 2026, followed by a final increase of 5% on January 1, 2027.

This comprehensive tariff revision is designed to facilitate ongoing investments and support the future growth of Port Klang, which is recognized as Malaysia's largest gateway port. Despite the increases, Port Klang's container tariff rates will remain among the most competitive in the region, with the last revision occurring a decade ago in 2015.

Phase Effective Date Increase (%)
Phase One 15 July 2025 15%
Phase Two 1 January 2026 10%
Phase Three 1 January 2027 5%
