The Port Klang Authority, was established July 1,1963. Port Klang is located on the west coast of Peninsula Malaysia. Port Klang is currently being developed as the National Load Center and eventually a hub for the entire region. The facilities and services in Port Klang are now just like those of World class ports. The port has trade connections with over 110 countries and dealings with over 450 ports around the world. Its ideal geographical location makes it the initial port of call for ships on the eastbound trip and the last port of call on the westbound trip of the Far East-Europe trade route.
