LAHAD DATU: POIC Lahad Datu Port is offering its facilities as an alternative for traders and shippers in the State’s east coast who have been affected by congestion at Tawau Port.

The port, located within POIC Lahad Datu Industrial Park, is positioning itself as a ready and convenient option for cargo movement.

“We are seeking to clear up what we believe to be some gaps in understanding POIC’s port capacity and its commitment to complementing trade, particularly among port users, including the Sabah Timber Industries Association (STIA),” said Datuk Fredian Gan, Group Chief Executive Officer of POIC Sabah Sdn Bhd.
