TMP Set to Thrive From POIC Tanjung Manis Project
05/10/2015 (Borneo Post) - Tanjung Manis Integrated Port Sdn Bhd (TMP) has come a long way since its inception in 2009.
From a humble port operator, TMP has diversified its services to operate ‘Bulk Fuel Oil’ by OGC Jetty and cargo project handling.
Recently, Pusaka Capital Group (Pusaka Capital) and KTS Group of Companies had entered into a joint venture to build CPO (Crude Palm Oil) Bulking Capital in POIC (Palm Oil Industrial Cluster) area.
“With this facility, which will be completed at the latest by next year, TMP will start operating exports of CPO.”
“The joint venture will boost investment in value-adding activities in POIC,” said TMP chairman and Pusaka Capital general manager Datu Sarudu Hoklai at the TMP’s annual dinner reception at a hotel here last Friday night.
According to him, the facilities in the project would include bulk storage of palm oil with a maximum capacity of 64,000 metric tonnes a refinery and a capacity of 1,200 metric tonnes per day, downstream oleo-chemical industry of oil, and other value-added downstream industries.
He added the capacity of the storage facility could increase from time to time based on demand.
Meanwhile, he pointed out that with the road connection to Sibu, port users now have option of trucking by road to Sibu instead of just by barge.
“With the collaboration between the Tanjung Manis Logistics (TML) and TMP, trucking has become a preferred mode of transporting containers as seen from the latest statistics where more than 400 boxes (850 TEUs) are handled through trucking activities per month.”
“Also the service of bonded trucks has taken effect on October 1 opens up more alternatives in getting seamless transfers of good via trucking from TMP depot at Sibu viz-a-viz, door to door service, and bonded truck from TMP to Rajang Port Authority Sibu,” he said.
Aside from that, he also expressed his happiness that TMP has been successfully recertified for OHSAS 18001:2007 July 29, 2015 for another three years.
He, therefore congratulated all involved in the recertification process and thanked them for their commitment to ensuring the highest standards and work practices in TMP.
Among those present were TMP executive director Sadiah Tu.
