KUCHING, April 21: Bintulu Port Holdings Bhd (BPHB) is advancing the establishment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure at Bintulu Port and Samalaju Industrial Port as part of its long-term sustainability strategy.
According to a news report by The Edge Malaysia, BPHB said the CCS-enabled port hubs will play an integral role in Malaysia’s decarbonisation roadmap, positioning the group as a key enabler in regional carbon management and sustainable energy logistics.
“BPHB remains steadfast in delivering strategic value across its core business pillars — enhancing infrastructure, accelerating digital transformation and solidifying its role as a progressive enabler in carbon management and sustainable energy solutions,” BPHB said in a statement today.
BPHB is also moving forward with initiatives to operationalise free zone areas at both ports to unlock new investment opportunities and enhance trade facilitation.
“Upgrades to the Bintulu International Container Terminal are also underway to align with international standards in efficiency, agility, and sustainability,” the company noted.
It added that the Borneo Oil and Gas Supply Base project remains a cornerstone of its ambition to position Sarawak as a regional hub for offshore energy logistics and to support Malaysia’s energy ecosystem through integrated, future-ready logistics solutions.
At its 29th annual general meeting (AGM), BPHB declared a dividend of RM69 million (15 sen per share), which it described as a balanced capital management approach that delivers shareholder returns while supporting reinvestment for future growth.
Shareholders were also informed that BPHB achieved several all-time high operational milestones in 2024. Group revenue rose by 8.13 per cent to RM888.47 million, driven by robust performance and disciplined operational management.
Total cargo throughput reached 51.94 million tonnes, setting a new benchmark, while vessel traffic hit a record 8,026 calls — reinforcing Bintulu Port’s position as a critical maritime logistics hub in the region.
“These results highlight BPHB’s ability to navigate dynamic operating conditions while delivering tangible value through operational excellence and strategic focus,” the statement added. — DayakDaily
