3.0 Trends in ship registration in Malaysia (2001
‐2006)
From the analysis shown in Figure 1, it
clearly shows that Malaysian merchant fleet has
grown at a modest pace over the years with 284
vessels was registered in 2006 with GRT reach to
33,238,000 tons. This is mainly due to the policy
of government, to actively involve in develop‐
ment of Malaysian merchant fleet to reduce de‐
pendence on foreign shipping services and em‐
phasizing on greater self sufficient in shipping
services.
The domestic shipping services and its chain
which comprises shipping lines such as tug
boat, barges, passenger ships, also show the
positive growth with increasing number of ves‐
sels registered in 2006 ,where tug boats and
barge dominates the numbers and tonnage in
registration (Figure 2 and Figure 3). It is esti‐
mated that there are about 300 Malaysian ship‐
ping lines owning or operating about 3500 ships
totaling 9.09 million GRT in Peninsular Malaysia,
Sabah and Sarawak [4].
