Ighost, E K Wong and me took our boat to round the coast of largest port of Malaysia – Port Klang. Which actually consists of three ports; the oldest being South Port catering for conventional cargoes, North Port which is predominantly a container port and the latest West Port which handles both containers and bulk cargoes built on the island of Pulau Indah. We are trying to document as many places of interests in Klang/Port Klang as we can to give our town some history before they are forgotten.

This is the documentary Video Clip of our journey which took us through fishing village, yacht club, and the facilities of the various ports. Join us for the ride.

We left that part of the jetty and proceeded further down the long jetty.

And passed along this large ship with large “No Smoking” “Dangerous Cargo” painted on it. It must be carrying petroleum products or other inflammable liquid goods.

We were dwarfed by its immense size as we passed along side. When we came to its bow, we saw its name “Overseas Petromar”.

We are puny but we are moving.

We dodge more bridges to go along the inner water of the jetty.

And view the setting sun against the structures holding the pipes.

After the cement terminal, our boat then took us to the Liquid Bulk Terminal. As there is a large palm oil refinery a bit further inland, not visible from the sea, I gather at least a large part of this must be used for transporting palm oil.

There were a number of storage tanks on the shore. Not sure what they are storing probably palm oil. And not familiar with the company logo, a red and white “S”, just know it could not be the man of steel. If anyone knows what that is, appreciate if you can enlightened us.

We surprised some fishing kakis on the edge. They had not expected a fast boat to go streaming by. Kurau said he had fished here before. Why am I not surprised? Look at the very long pole the fisherman is using.

We headed for the very long liquid terminal jetty as the sun sank further. Note a ship docking by it so the water here must be very deep.

We turned to head out towards the setting sun. I hurriedly changed the camera setting to get a more dramatic shot.

Fellow travelers passed us from the opposite direction. We looked at each other in curiosity. They are more ‘normal’ than us.

This is a close view of the liquid bulk jetty.

We are coming to the end of that long jetty.

A huge Malaysian flag rose above the land. This is the largest Malaysian flag on top a building. The building is on the flour silo of the largest flour miller in the country – FFM Bhd.
