GATEWAY TO
THE FAR EAST

En Route through Malaysia is located at the centre of

Southeast Asia and Kuantan Port sits
the B&R on it’s Eastern seaboard, in the middle
of country’s natural resources and
petrochemical heartland.
By sea it’s strategic location is en route
from the Asia Pacific to the Straits of
Distance from Kuantan Malacca, which is used to reach the
to Kuala Lumpur: Middle East and Europe. Already serving
as the fastest shipping route from
Malaysia to China, Kuantan Port will
45 mins flight be a maritime gateway into the country
under China’s, One Belt One Road
Initiative (B&R). The B&R is the reactivation
of the ancient silk trade routes leading
from China to Europe and is set to
3 hours drive become the world’s largest infrastructure
project.
This is expected to bring a diverse range
of new investment opportunities to the
region and further increase trade. Also
under the B&R, joint investment with local
partners will see the construction of the
East Coast Rail Line (ECRL), which will link
the port directly by train to the nation’s
capital, Kuala Lumpur and the country’s
largest port located in Klang, Selangor.
By road the port is connected to East
Coast Expressway, making the trans-
portation of goods to Kuala Lumpur only
3 hours drive. Just 35km away is Kuantan
Airport, that schedules daily flights to
Kuala Lumpur International Airport and
direct flights to Singapore.

Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park
From Partnerships to Cargo Ships
Symbolising the strength in Malaysia-
China bilateral trade relations is the
Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park
(MCKIP). The first national industrial park
developed by both Malaysia and China
and is the sister park to the China-
Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park (CMQIP)
in the “Two Countries Twin Parks”
initiative.
KPC’s parent company IJM, is part of the
Malaysian Consortium which owns 51%,
with the China Consortium owning the
remaining 49%. Special ties between
MCKIP and KPC have seen the industrial
park become an extension of the port
itself and is set to synergise trade
relations between Malaysia and China.
Through this partnership companies
investing at MCKIP that produce high
value added products, provide
technology transfer, undertake research
and development activities receive a
100% corporate income tax exemption
for a period of 15 years. Other tax
exemptions also include a 15% income
tax rate scheme for qualified knowledge
workers.

MCKIP 1
Alliance Steel is the pioneering company
to invest in an establishment at MCKIP.
The construction of the integrated iron
and steel plant will contribute to an
annual capacity of 3.5million metric
tonne of primary iron and steel products.
Alliance Steel has made substantial
efforts to decrease any impact to the
environment, with a fully automated
production process that reuses and
recycles all waste water. Additionally a
12km tubular conveyor belt system,
linking the plant to NDWT will eventually
replace trucks as transport vehicles,
reducing air pollutants and emissions.
The union between MCKIP, as an
industrial hub and KPC as an integrated
logistics platform will provide a
competitive edge that will create
a range of trade and investment
opportunities not only to Malaysia
but also to China and the Asia Pacific.
