APM Terminals in the context of Port of Tanjung Pelepas
The Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP, UN/Locode: MYTPP) is a container port located in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru District, Johor, Malaysia, and is part of the APM Terminals Global Terminal Network, which holds a minority share in the joint venture. The port is currently the 15th busiest container port in the world, as well as the fifth most efficient port in the world.
Located 30km away from Malaysia's second largest city, Johor Bahru, PTP is situated on the eastern mouth of the Pulai River in south-western Gelang Patah, in close proximity to the Straits of Johor, which separates the countries of Malaysia and Singapore and the Strait of Malacca. Transshipment accounts for over 90 percent of the port's traffic. The port was constructed in an attempt to compete with Singaporean ports.
