Westports Holdings Berhad has reported a container throughput of 5.57 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) for the six-month period ending 30 June 2025. The company’s financial results for the second quarter show total revenue reaching RM1.31 billion, supported by resilient volumes in both container and conventional segments.
Intra-Asia trade remained the key growth engine, contributing 61 percent of the total container volume handled during the period. In the Conventional segment, Westports processed 5.71 million metric tonnes of bulk cargo, with notable growth observed in the dry bulk category.
The company continues to operate around the clock with a workforce of 5,600 employees. Operational staff costs remain the most significant expenditure component, increasing by 8 percent. Westports also began higher payments to the Port Authority of Malaysia under the new supplemental privatisation agreement, which took effect on 1 September 2024. These changes are reflected in the group’s cash flow statement, which shows increased service concession-related assets and obligations.
For the first half of 2025, Westports posted a Profit After Tax of RM454 million.
Executive Chairman Datuk Ruben Emir Gnanalingam commented that the US economy has remained resilient despite ongoing trade tariffs, and that the region is seeing renewed strength in container demand following shipping alliance restructurings. He added that Westports expects demand for container handling services to continue rising in the years ahead.
“We anticipate favourable demand for container terminal handling facilities by the time the company commissions the expanded container terminal CT10 into service in 2028,” said Gnanalingam.
