History

The Johor Port Authority was established in 1978, with the port being constructed the following year in 1979. The Johor Port Authority was incorporated in 1993, and in 1995 the port was privatized to Johor Port Berhad, [3] which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of MMC Corporation Berhad. [4]

Facilities and services

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

Since its inception, Johor Port has been handling liquid bulk cargo. Specifically, it provides facilities for edible oils - primarily palm and soybean oils - and petroleum products. The port has a freshwater capacity of 1.9 million liters to supply ships, which is done through hydrants on the wharves and the breasting island of the oil jetty.[ citation needed ]

For its bulk and break bulk operations, Johor Port has berths with an overall length of almost 2.4 km and nearly 200,000 sq. meters of storage facilities. The port's depth of 13.8 meters means it can accommodate dry bulk carriers up to 60,000 tonnes deadweight (DWT). Its gantry crane and the Impsamade level-stuffing[ clarification needed ] crane can handle 800 tons per hour; the two wharf-side cranes can handle 400 tons per hour. Johor Port's terminal has 72,000 tons of covered storage space for edible cargo and 87,000 tons of covered space for non-edible products. A conveyor system allows cargo to be transported directly from ships to nearby warehouses.[ citation needed ]
