Port Klang Authority plans to construct a cargo port estimated to cost RM28 billion on Carey Island, Klang, scheduled to be completed by 2060, said PKA general manager Capt. K. Subramaniam.
“Once offshore, away from the current port, the waves are higher, the winds are stronger and to operate a port like this, a container port, you have to have calm waters. Hence the best defence is to build a breakwater for protection to keep the waves away from the harbour area, so there’s going to be considerable investment for breakwater as well,” Subramaniam said.
He said there is no rush to develop the new facility on Carey Island as Westports Phase 2 will begin soon, and is estimated to be fully operational in 10 to 12 years’ time. However, he reckoned that by the time Westports Phase 2 is completed, the Carey Island project will be ready to take off. “When we complete the four phases, we will have a total wharf length of about 16km, with a capacity to handle in Carey Island alone, 30 million TEUs and another 20 million tonnes for conventional cargo,” Subramaniam said.
