1-Introduction
Definition of Kemaman Port’s Hinterland
This chapter emphasizing on the important element of Kemaman Port development as the hinterland remains a fundamental component in the port and maritime shipping industries. As in Port Kemaman, the hinterland can be define as area covering BP5 (Teluk Kalung) and BP6 (Chukai) with 10 5559.41 hectares, located on the west part of the Kemaman Port.
As the hinterland being seen as the catalyst for the optimization and expansion development of Kemaman Port, BP 5 Teluk Kalung (where Kemaman port located) and Bp 6 Chukai need to embrace and enhance the development process in view of addressing current port-related challenges, mainly congestion, growing costs, limited handling capacity and the generation of additional traffic while being able to answer the requirements of modern freight distribution. As Industrial activities are most being located in Teluk Kalung, other than Kerteh, with 2680.19 hectares, the ports hinterland being highlighted as important element to support mobility and accessibility industrially activities and industrial goods. Therefore a good infrastructure should be allocated to cater the accessibility and mobility of industrial goods.
The immediate hinterland of Kemaman Port is the Teluk Kalung Industrial Area, which houses several industries such as Perwaja Steel, Huntsman Tixide, See Sen Chemicals, Malay Sino, Kemaman Bitumen Company and Lion Plate Mill.
Generally, Teluk Kalong was among the major attraction of heavy industry activity as factories such Exxon Mobil, Onshore Slugcatcher and Ethylene Malaysia Bhd. produce goods from the petroleum, gas and petro chemical. Moreover, steel industry can be mostly identified here. There are 14
company which run steel based industry such Perwaja Steel Sdn. Bhd. and Lions Plate Mills.
For the electrical and electronic industry mostly can be identified in B6 Chukai in Jakar I and Jakar II Industrial area, while 80 and 76 services such workshops mostly can be identified in BP5 and BP6 accordingly.
The hinterland areas are accessible through Federal Road 3 and State Road 131. Road and transportation infrastructure suppose to be the major spine for mobility of goods. However, based from the local plan of Kemaman District, the roads are narrow and inadequate to cater the needs of optimizing the use of port’s hinterland. The existing railway which connects Kerteh, Kemaman Port and Port of Kuantan was initially to accommodate goods movement. The connection between hinterland could be faster and convenience. This will reduce the capacity of existing road.
