PETALING JAYA: Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Westports Holdings Bhd, has reported a vessel incident involving a berthing container vessel making contact with two of its ship-to-shore cranes.
“As a safety measure, WMSB has closed two berths to assess the damages. The company is ascertaining the contributing factors that gave rise to the incident. Both the container vessel concerned and Westports Malaysia’s affected assets have insurance coverage. Westports would make an announcement when there are notable developments on this incident,” the group said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
Westports Malaysia has a total of 20 container berths and 67 ship-to-shore cranes.
The temporary berths closure is not expected to have a material impact on the overall container operations as terminal handling of containers at all other berths continue as usual.
The incident is also not expected to have any material effect on the earnings of Westports.
