| description | Inland ports in Malaysia play a significant role in the freight transport system
providing access for manufacturers and producers in the hinterland to seaports acting as
gateways to the nation’s trade. The current inland ports in services in Malaysia include Padang
Besar, Ipoh, Nilai, Segamat and Tebedu. The existence of inland ports will facilitate more
movements of containers to major seaports (i.e., Port Klang, Penang Port and Port of Tanjung
Pelepas) and goods across the borders (Tebedu). These features will make an existence of an
inland port in the northern region of peninsular Malaysia to be logistically relevant in holding
a strong foothold for successful intermodal transportation hub in the Northern Corridor
Economic Region (NCER). As for that matter, this article had collected various experiences of
developing inland ports in several countries, reviewed their facilities and functions, and thus
highlighting its importance. Based on these reviews, it has been found out that the logistical
importance of an inland port will be enhanced by providing a rail links from the main line to
the inland port, provide an appropriate institutional framework for supporting inland port
activities, cost, multi modal, geographical locations and hinterland, demand management,
infrastructure development, technological and innovations and establishing incentives to
encourage the industries to utilize the inland port. The findings also suggest that inland port
will play a more strategic and creative role in managing the demands and making the inland
port as an important hub with the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative. |
