Northport may delay wharf-upgrade
Northport is considering delaying the upgrading of one of its wharfs due to the economic slowdown, the Business Times reported.
"I understand that Northport is considering holding back the upgrade but whether they should hold it or not is another question," Port Klang Authority general manager Lim Thean Shiang said.
He said certain developments were necessary to cater to continued growth even though there may not be an immediately need for it.
"During recession one can only position oneself to be ready for the up and coming growth cycle, and if we do not have the adequate facilities available, how do we capitalise on such opportunities?" Lim said.
He said Port Klang would monitor the situation and hold consultations with ports on issues involving the development of the ports.
