Kale Logistics Solutions’ (Kale) Malaysia Maritime Single Window (MMSW) has been officially launched by the honourable Minister of Transport Malaysia, Anthony Loke Siew Fook in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The implementation of Kale’s MMSW has meant an immediate reduction of vessel processing from up to five days, down to within hours, due to the real-time data and transparency of service level agreements (SLA’s) it manages. “The Ship Clearance System has been a game-changer for us. Transitioning from a manual, time-consuming process to a seamless digital platform has significantly improved efficiency and reduced clearance times – we are proud to be among the first to implement it successfully,” said Captain Subramaniam, General Manager, Port Klang.
The MMSW digitally enhanced operations at Malaysia’s largest port situated on the world’s second busiest shipping lane, the Malacca Strait, to which 11,000 vessels call each year. Further phases of the MMSW project are set to see more ports join the system and the system’s capabilities set to increase further.
“I am proud to see how the Kale system has helped Malaysian trade, as Malaysian ports reported over 30 million TEUs last year, a 10 per cent increase on 2023,” said Vineet Malhotra, Co-Founder and Director, Kale Logistics Solutions.
“The improvement already seen in Port Klang’s operation speaks volumes to the capabilities of this level of collaboration, especially as Port Klang targets 15 million TEUs in 2025.”
Following implementation at Port Klang the system was initiated across other federal ports in Malaysia, creating a digital framework to make port cargo operations vastly more efficient.
MMSW is part of Kale’s – Port Community System, designed to promote paperless trade through the digitalisation of port systems to increase their efficiency, improve sustainability, and improve stakeholder communication.
