Facilities

The facilities available at the Multi-Purpose Berth at present, are capable of servicing Conventional Cargo Carriers, Self-sustained Container Carriers, and Ro-Ro Car-Carriers which usually ply the trade routes in this region.

The access to the commercial berth is through a dredged canal 2.6 kilometres long and which could accommodate Vessels with a maximum draught of 9.5 metres. The depth alonside is 10 metres, and is capable of accommodating second generation Containerised Vessels.

The Berth planning unit provides a scheme whereby Mother/Feeder Vessels are given priority services to meet their critical shipping schedules. This scheme is further extended to cover Vessels having fixed-day sailing schedules from/to Singapore and the EAGA region.

The Refrigerated Container facility at this Terminal will provide 100 universal plug points to cater for imported as well as transit refrigerated cargo. To assure a very high quality service for this expensive cargo, the Reefer facility will be fully backed up by a Reefer Container monitoring service. This will guarantee the Shipper/Consignee that the cargo is maintained at the required critical temperatures during the full transit period. An independent power supply source is available to ensure continuous power supply for the safety of the cargo.

Storage Facility
The total terminal facility will cover an area of 10 hectares giving a container stacking area of 50,000 square metres. This is expected to give an additional storage capacity of 3,000 Teus for laden Containers and a further 2,500 Teu's for empty containers. For more versatility in operations, the yard equipment will be backed by a fleet of the latest Reach Stacker Machines, which could meet any unexpected downtime due to breakdown of yard gantries.
