Port of Kuala Sungai Linggi, Maritime transshipment port in Malacca Strait, Malaysia.
The Port of Kuala Sungai Linggi is a transshipment facility on the Malacca Strait that focuses on liquid bulk cargo and ship-to-ship operations. The harbor spans a large water area with sufficient depth to handle major cargo vessels.
The facility began operations in 2006 and quickly became an important hub for large oil tankers. Since then it has processed thousands of vessels and played a significant role in regional shipping routes.
The name Linggi comes from the Buginese language and refers to a ship's bow, reflecting this coastal region's deep ties to seafaring traditions.
The facility is designed to handle large tankers over 300 meters long and remains accessible year-round. Stable water conditions with gentle currents make operations reliable and safe at all times.
This is a meeting point where ultrasize tankers exchange cargo with each other instead of docking at a conventional pier. This method saves the port expensive infrastructure while allowing massive quantities to move in open waters.
