00:00The third is to upgrade the Traffic Management System, or VTMS.
00:18In addition to increasing the size of the port,
00:23this initiative aims to improve the safety and security of the port area
00:29as well as to control traffic congestion in the port area.
00:33Today, I am also very proud
00:36because we have managed to realize the government's goal
00:40to develop the Malaysia Maritime Single Window system to the entire country.
00:46The development of the MNSW system
00:49was directed by the Cabinet in 2023
00:53to meet the needs of international maritime organizations
00:57where all ports involved in international trade
01:01need to use the MNSW system
01:05as a central system in Malaysia
01:08as early as 1 January 2024.
01:12The development of the MNSW system
01:15is to meet the mandatory requirements
01:18of the Convention Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic 1965
01:23or VAL Convention 1965, International Maritime Organization
01:29which authorizes the IAEA to develop the MNSW system
01:33as early as 1 January 2024.
01:36To facilitate the exchange of information between ships and port facilities,
01:40electronic transactions are carried out
01:43to facilitate and pacify maritime trade and transportation.
01:49Port companies have been trusted
01:52and trained by the Port Authority
01:55to manage the implementation of the development of the MNSW system
01:59for the government.
02:01The continuation of good cooperation between agencies involved
02:05including Customs, Immigration, Maritime, Health,
02:10Embassies and Port Agencies, Chemistry
02:13as well as related departments
02:15has been fully implemented by the MNSW system
02:20on 10 June 2024
02:22including the main terminals and airports.
02:26So far, the MNSW system has been satisfied
02:29with the main port of Malaysia
02:31including Kuantan Port, Kebangan Port, Johor Port, Pulau Pulau Pinang and Bintulu Port.
02:37Implementation of these ports in Sabah and Sarawak
02:40is expected to start in March 2025.
02:45Based on the statistics provided by the MNSW system
02:49from 1 June 2024 to 31 December last year
02:55as many as 10,682 ships
02:59have used this system
03:01for all ship arrival and departure processes
03:04at the port of Sarawak, Malaysia.
03:07This number will continue to increase
03:09in line with the involvement of ports and industry entities
03:14across the country from time to time.
03:17The response received by the expansion of the MNSW system
03:21has succeeded in increasing the speed of ship departure
03:25through digitalization
03:27while reducing workload and bureaucracy.
03:31The Ministry of Transport hopes that all port users
03:34will use the MNSW system together.
03:38For your information, the Ministry of Transport will expand the scope of MNSW
03:42under Phase 2 to cover the container management process
03:46including container delivery and monitoring.
03:51I believe that the success of FortKline as the main logistics hub
03:55is the result of the cooperation of all parties
03:58and cannot be achieved without the cooperation of the stakeholders.
04:04Allow me to express my appreciation
04:07to the industry players, ship and logistics companies,
04:12ministries and government agencies,
04:14and terminal operators.
04:18The Trump administration has played an important role
04:20in creating a trading network
04:22and connecting the parties involved in the supply chain.
04:27And thanks to the Ministry of Transport,
04:29we will continue to implement the proactive measures
04:33and approaches that we have implemented before
04:37to continue to increase our network and ship network
04:43from all over the world,
04:45through our international partners and our main partners.
04:48One of the approaches that we have used
04:51is to have a ministerial visit
04:54directly to the Ministry of Transport
04:56and to the largest international shipping companies.
04:59So I have made the visit to Europe 2-3 times
05:04to meet with the top management of these shipping companies.
05:10And of course, this approach will continue
05:12not only to the shipping companies in Europe,
05:16but also in Asia.
05:18I will continue to implement it
05:20so that we can ensure that our shipping network
05:25can be expanded
05:27so that Malaysia becomes a major destination
05:30for international shipping companies
05:33to bring to Singapore
05:35and also to balance trade with our country.
05:40So I think all of this is a joint effort
05:44and I hope that we can continue to work together
05:48to make not only dark ports
05:51as one of the busiest ports in the world,
05:56but also other ports,
05:58including many other ports that are quite potential,
06:03such as in Johor, Kuantan, Pulau Pinang, Kemaman,
06:09and also in Sabah dan Serapa.
06:12I hope that our country's ports
06:16will continue to be a major asset
06:18to the growth of our country's economy.
06:21So without ports,
06:23Malaysian international trade will not be sustainable.
06:29Ladies and gentlemen,
06:30please give a round of applause
06:32for the success that we have achieved together today.
06:36Congratulations and thank you to all parties.
06:39Mulundas!
