Bintulu Port, one of the most modern and efficient multipurpose ports in South East Asia, is located strategically along the busy sealanes between the Far East and Europe on latitude 03 16?N longitude 113 04?E in central west coast of Sarawak, East Malaysia. In just over a decade it has demonstrated its ability to play an increasingly important role in Malaysia's external trade. The port covers an area of 320 hectares and serves a fast-expanding hinterland that includes the vast economic region under the Bintulu Development Authority, in central Sarawak., as well as the outlying regions in the resource-rich state of Sarawak and neighboring states. It is the only export gateway for Malaysia's biggest export earner - liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced from the Central Luconia field, off the Bintulu coast. In addition, it handles a growing volume of a variety of general cargoes, liquid and dry bulk, and containerised cargoes. The port is well equipped with dedicated berths and state-of-the-art facilities to handle a variety of cargo and ships efficiently. A wide range of cargo handling equipment and ancillary facilities to meet the expanding and demanding requirements of the trade at the port are also available. An important feature which few ports provide and which Bintulu Port possesses is the Vessel Traffic Surveillance System (VTS) - crucial in monitoring, controlling and navigating vessels safely in the port water limits. Since the commencement of its operations on January 1, 1983, the Port has enhanced its operational capabilities considerably to provide greater capacity and capability to meet the needs of the port users. The latest addition to the current facilities is a new dedicated container terminal with a total quay length of 450 metres. The new container terminal is equipped with the latest and most modern port equipment and other supporting facilities similar to those available at other world class ports globally.
