Kuantan Port Consortium, Northport, and Malaysia Rail Link (MRL) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to formalise their collaboration on the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) land bridge, connecting Kuantan Port to Port Klang in Malaysia. This partnership aims to enhance connectivity, streamline cargo transfer, and improve efficiency between the two ports.
The collaboration also focuses on human capital development by exchanging technical expertise to address industry challenges and improve operational capabilities. The ECRL land bridge is expected to cut cargo vessel travel time by up to 2.5 days and is scheduled for full completion in December 2027.
