Bintulu Port has officially transitioned from a federal port to a state port under the jurisdiction of the Sarawak government, effective September 1, 2026. This change follows the enactment of two acts - the Declaration of an Area in the Bintulu District to be a Federal Port (Repeal) Act 2024 (Act 858) and the Bintulu Port Authority (Dissolution) Act 2024 (Act 859).
The transition is expected to not affect the day-to-day operations of Bintulu Port or the continuity of services to customers, port users and other stakeholders, as Bintulu Port Sdn Bhd (BPSB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bintulu Port Holdings Bhd (BPHB), remains the operator of the port. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Port Development, Sarawak, has notified BPSB of the government's approval in principle to appoint it as the approved port operator under Section 12(2)(a) of the Port Authorities Ordinance, 1961.
