THE Kuala Linggi shipyard at Kuala Sungai Baru near Alor Gajah has the potential to become a catalyst for economic development in Malacca as a maritime hub, due to its strategic location,
Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the shipyard, which provides marine support services, is as huge as the ones in Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas and Port Klang.
"The volume of ships using the Straits of Malacca, which is the busiest sea route in the world, will require support services for repair, modification and upgrading of the vessel," he said at the launch and handing over of a ship to Team Marine Shipyard (M) Sdn Bhd on September 29.
Mohd Ali said the shipyard at Kuala Linggi complemented the transportation infrastructure in Malacca, apart from the Malaysian Marine Academy, the Road Transport Academy and the Malacca Aviation Academy. - Bernama
