Transportation in Malaysia

There are many issue in transportation in Malaysia first is about maritime issues. 

During the 1990s, total container movements increased at least nearly 10 percent a year, with the fastest growth occurring in the ports of Malaysia. Malaysia cannot keep pace with the rapidly growing demand for berth and storage space. There are limited scope for further reducing costs by increasing vessel size and the next development is likely to be more direct services from what are now feeder ports.

The second issue is about multimodal transport is the transportation of good under a single contract but performed with at least two different means of transport. Malaysia use containers for the maritime of trips, loading, unloading them in the ports rather at the origin and destination of their cargo.  Many of the company use the door-to-door movement containers this transport will be best equipped to compete and bring trade benefits to their more remote areas.Next is simplifying trade documentation for example including the use of though waybills and single invoices for all modes. In custom clearance times the economy of Malaysia is quite similar to those of other developing countries but if taken together, developing countries are significantly slower that developed counties.

  

After that the issue of transportation is develop an efficient forwarding industry it is not easy to arrange the time because anything can happen anything on the way to send the goods. Third-party logistics or 3PL is not a well-advanced concept in Malaysia. In industrial countries, almost a third of logistics turnover is contracted to 3PL providers, but even in industrialized Malaysia, barely 10 percent of trade-related transport services are provided in this way. 

Progression to the earlier stage of second partylogistics (2PL) which companies 

unify their internal transport and warehousing functions and create their own internal logistics departments in Malaysia is still underway.Port and land access is the issue of transportation because the high costs of land access to port, reinforced by the effects of production agglomeration. Have caused an excessive of export-related activities in port cities and essentially restricted the benefits of trade growth to the areas immediately surrounding ports.
