PETALING JAYA: Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd (SMT) has announced an expansion of its Westport Fuels Terminal in Port Klang, in a move aimed at strengthening fuel supply security as demand continues to grow nationwide.
SMT said the project will add three new petrol and diesel storage tanks, allowing the facility to handle larger medium-range vessels and improve supply efficiency.
Construction is set to begin this year in phases, with the upgraded terminal expected to be completed by early 2028.
SMT managing director Shairan Huzani Husain said the expansion comes at a critical time when energy security has become increasingly important.
“This project matters because what we do here at this terminal and also others around the country impacts how millions of Malaysians move every day. Today’s groundbreaking marks real progress in our efforts to support national energy needs.
“With this investment, we are strengthening this terminal to do more and to bring in fuels more competitively, to handle larger volumes and to keep supply reliable across the country,” he said during a groundbreaking ceremony at the terminal on Monday. The event was officiated by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
Shairan said the investment also reflects Shell’s long-standing commitment to Malaysia, where it has operated for 135 years.
