Ports and shipping
An efficient and competitive port and shipping sector is vital to Malaysia, almost 95 per cent of whose trade is seaborne. Starting with just two major ports and a limited number of minor ones in 1957, Malaysia currently has seven federal ports and numerous state and minor ports, the result of a supply-driven approach and the privatization policy. The nation’s shipping fleet size has also expanded markedly over the years.
