PUTRAJAYA, March 11 — The government has approved the development of the third terminal at Port Klang in Pulau Carey, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
The Cabinet meeting today approved a memorandum by the Transport Ministry (MOT) for the project, which will be implemented by the state government.
“This project had been announced earlier, but today’s Cabinet decision has detailed its implementation model, where we will approve the Selangor state government’s application to lead the development.
“MOT will continue to act as the regulator to ensure the project is implemented properly and in an orderly manner,” he said during the MOT 2026 monthly assembly, Paduan Kasih MADANI, and Ihya' Ramadan programme today.
Loke added that the state government will establish a special-purpose vehicle with private companies to secure private investment to build and operate the third terminal at Port Klang.
“This is an important long-term project for the country involving a major and strategic infrastructure. It also signals that despite current global geopolitical challenges, our national development will not be hindered.
“We will continue to move forward to ensure that important infrastructure projects like this are implemented,” he said.
Previously, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had directed all relevant agencies to move swiftly in realising the development of the third terminal at Port Klang in Pulau Carey.
He said the project should serve as a new model for national development that is more efficient, well-organised and with integrity.
The third terminal at Port Klang in Pulau Carey is a strategic project aimed at strengthening the country’s economic capacity and position in the port and logistics sector.
