Strait of Malacca (SOM) container terminals will struggle to match the growth in transshipment volumes seen last year, a leading sector analyst has forecast.

Malaysia’s Westports and Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) as well as Singapore’s PSA International recorded “phenomenal growth” of 7.4% in transshipment volumes in 2018, according to UOB Kay Hian analyst Kong Ho Meng.
