The attributes of the area at a proposed plant site should be analyzed accordingly.
The geography of area and the dirt structure must be considered, since either or
both may pronouncedly affect development costs. The value expense of the area is
the most vital, and neighborhood building expenses and living conditions. Future
changes may make it attractive or important to grow the plant offices.
4. Transport facilities
Transport facilities are important for the exportation of the product to the
customer since the huge demand of ferric chloride is in Europe, Japan, China and
others Asian country and also to obtain the raw material from the suppliers. The
most suitable transportation use is by shipping. Thus, the selected location of the
site should be located near port to allow the shipping activity become much easier
and less cost used. The transportation also depends on the requesting from the
customer. Thus, it is much easier if the plant site can be access by other types of
transportation such as railway or airport. There is a need for convenient air and
road transportation facilities between the plant and company head quarters, and
effective transportation facilities for the plant personnel are necessary.
5. Availability of labors
In order to allow the plant to operate, labors are important for the plants
construction and operation. The skilled construction workers should be hired and
need to supervised by the trained operators to do the maintenance work at the
plant when there will be need of their expertise. Local trade union customs and
restrictive practices will have to be considered when assessing the availability and
suitability of the labors for recruitment and training. Consideration should be
given to prevailing pay scales, restrictions on number of hours worked per week,
competing industries.
6. Availability of utilities
In order to allow the plant to operate under normal condition, the estimation of the
water and electrical utilities are important sources for the chemical plant. This
depends on the suppliers of the electrical and water according to the state.
i.
Electricity source
Electrical is produced at an electrical power plant. Some fuel source such
as coal, oil, natural gas or nuclear energy produces heat. The heat is used
to boil water in the plant in order to create steam, and the steam can be

For magnetite iron ore, it can be obtained from other companies outside Johor such as
Golden Days Mineral Tradings International and Yatayei World Wide Sdn Bhd that are
situated in Ampang, Selangor. Vandtech Systems Sdn Bhd supplies chlorine gas, fluoride
and sodium hypochlorite. This is because Vandtech specializes in water treatment systems
in Malaysia and has been involved in sewage and water treatment for over 20 years. Since

From table, the land price for the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Estate is not too
expensive when comparing to Pulau Indah. Meanwhile, the cost for the land is more
expensive compared to Gebeng Industrial Estate. Although the price is more expensive
than Gebeng industrial estate, but the other aspects should be considered such that there is
a lot of port comparing to the Gebeng in the Tanjung Langsat such as Johor port and
Tanjung Pelepas port. This shows that the transportation of the raw material from the
supplier to the plant and the transportation o the product to the customer is much easier.
The rate of sale for the land is much fast compared to Gebeng due to the aggressive
development of the industrial area in Pasir Gudang that give high attraction to the
investors.

3.4.4. Facilities
3.4.4.1. Transport Facilities
Our final product, ferric chloride is in liquid bulk chemicals and will be
distributed and transported by tankers. So the most suitable mean of transportation is by
shipping. Since there are three (3) port facilities around Tanjung Langsat, it will be much
easier for us to transport our products to our neighboring customers such as Phillipines,
China and Japan. With higher demand around Asian countries, the distribution cost of
product can be minimize hence maximize the profit. The nearest port is Tanjung Langsat
Port, located 3.3 km from Tanjung Langsat Industrial Estate. Based from the figures
below, the most types of vessels distributed is in tankers with percentage more than 50%.

Other than port facilities, Tanjung Langsat Industrial Estate is also accessible by
air transportation and has distance of 57.6 km from Senai International Airport. The Senai
International Airport has international and domestic flights offer by different airlines
including Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Firefly and Malindo Air. Air transportation is very
important especially for our foreign customers to come and visit our plant. Eventhough
the distance are quite far, but with good roadway facilities, the employees, employers and
customers will be able to reach airport or Tanjung Langsat in time. Main road frontage is
build across Johor that connects Tanjung Langsat with the main town in Johor, that is
Johor Bahru Pasir Gudang Highway. Construction of three (3) elevated U-turn bridges
and 4 elevated pedestrian bridges for the road upgrading of the Johor Bahru-Pasir Gudang
Highway helps reduce the traffic. Hence, apart from transport our products, it is also
much easier for people to travel to other places.
