Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) was honoured to welcome a delegation from the EuroCham Singapore (EuroCham) for an exclusive site visit focused on the evolving Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ).
The programme brought together approximately 70 industry leaders, led by EuroCham Singapore President, Jens Rübbert. The delegation was warmly welcomed by Mark Hardiman, Chief Executive Officer of PTP, together with several of the Senior Management Team members.
The visit began with a comprehensive presentation on PTP's world-class terminal, providing the delegation with valuable insights into the port’s operational efficiency, innovation, and ongoing improvements, as well as its steadfast commitment to sustainability.
A highlight of the programme was a panel discussion moderated by Jens Rübbert, featuring prominent leaders including Mark Hardiman, Adny Ahmad, Senior Vice President of the Invest Malaysia Facilitation Centre Johor, Lee Shyong, Group Head and Managing Director of Public Sector and Services at OCBC Bank, and Maike Rohwer, Head of Tax at Luther Corporate Services, Malaysia. The dialogue focused on the primary catalysts for investment in Johor, showcasing how world-class infrastructure like PTP and strategic cross-border frameworks are enabling businesses to bridge operations seamlessly between Singapore and Malaysia.
To see these advantages in action, the delegation also experienced a firsthand tour of PTP’s terminal operations, witnessing the efficiency that defines our hub. The visit also included a stop at the Kuehne + Nagel warehouse within the Pelepas Free Zone, serving as a premier example of how global tenants are already leveraging the Johor–Singapore corridor to build faster, more resilient, and highly integrated supply chains.
As the JS-SEZ rapidly emerges as a strategic platform for businesses expanding their manufacturing and logistics footprints across Southeast Asia, PTP remains a central pillar, acting as its primary maritime gateway and logistics engine.
