KUCHING, Oct 21: The expansion of Senari Terminal, involving a wharf extension and a new container yard, is set to begin in 2027 and increase the terminal’s overall container capacity by 36 per cent to 750,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs).
Minister of Infrastructure and Port Development Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said the projects would reduce vessel waiting times, ease congestion and improve cargo handling efficiency.
The wharf will be extended from 635 metres to 885 metres, while the new container yard will have a capacity of 200,000 TEUs.
Uggah said Sarawak’s ports recorded a 12.5 per cent increase in cargo throughput from January to August this year, reaching 48.6 million tonnes compared to 43.21 million tonnes in the corresponding period last year.
