Johor Port Bhd is exploring the potential of a trade corridor linking Johor with Belawan in North Sumatra, with the aim of strengthening cargo connectivity between Malaysia and Indonesia. The port operator, a subsidiary of MMC Port Holdings Bhd, is collaborating with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Regional 1 Belawan to assess opportunities for more efficient cargo movement, wider market access, and stronger trade links.
This proposed corridor, discussed during Johor Port's visit to Belawan Port in early September, is seen as more than just a connection between the two ports; it is about bringing businesses and markets closer together, creating more efficient pathways for trade, and supporting stronger regional supply chains.
