TAKING IT ASTEP FURTHERWelcome again to Gateway, the official magazine of <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Klang</strong> Authority (PKA).Since the release of the first issue in November last year, we are pleased to havereceived positive feedback and this has encouraged us to put in more effort toestablish regular communication, discuss issues and also to highlight any newinformation pertaining to the maritime industry.We are happy to present the first issue of the year, and may I add, a timelyone, as we will look at reviewing the prospects of strengthening <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Klang</strong>.We are delighted to have identified 5 Key Result Areas that will guide ourefforts to better perform our twin roles, as port regulator and also as facilitatorof business. In the bid to achieve higher standards, it is clear that we cannotdo this alone. We need the collaboration and co-operation of all stakeholders,not only in the implementation aspect but also in identifying opportunities anddeveloping strategies. Hopefully with this, we can obtain better performance forall concerned.This is especially evident in the area of logistics. As the authority, our goal is todevelop <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Klang</strong> as a preferred logistics hub for the region. However, this willbe a monumental task given that the current logistic chain is fragmented. Havingsaid that, several agencies have been looking at the urgent need to resolve thisand to bring harmonisation to our logistic scene. We are privileged to sharethe views on this matter from Malaysian Industrial Development Authority(MIDA) and Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) and we thank N.Parameswaran and Mohd Radwan Alami for their valuable contributionAs always, we are also pleased to provide updates from <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Klang</strong> in relationto our terminals (Westports, Northport) as well as <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Klang</strong> Free Zone (PKFZ).On behalf of PKA, I now invite you to explore the first Gateway issue of the year.We hope you will enjoy the publication and feel free to provide any feedback orcomments as there is always room for improvement.welcomeThank you.KEE LIAN YONGGeneral Manager<strong>Port</strong> <strong>Klang</strong> AuthorityGATEWAYA PUBLICATION OF PORT KLANG AUTHORITY
