Port Klang, Malaysia lies on the Malacca Strait of the western coast and services surrounding Asian countries as well as the Middle East. Port Klang actually consists of three ports, two of which are privately owned and operated: Northport, Westport, and Southport. As the largest port in Malaysia, Port Klang accepts most cargo shipped to Malaysia from virtually every country in the world. Because of its location on the Malacca Strait and subsequent access to the Indian and Atlantic Oceans–as well as its proximity to the town of Klang–Port Klang is accessible to all cargo, both imports and exports.
Port Klang can accept containers of all sizes, including 20 foot and 40 foot crates, as well as roll-on/roll-off (RORO) vessels. This range allows the port to accept all cargo, whether wheeled, stationary, fragile, or oversized.
