The Melaka International Cruise Terminal is now about 50% completed and is expected to be ready by mid 2026.
New cruise terminal will boost Melaka’s economy, says Loke
The transport minister says it will increase tourism activities and will significantly benefit the state’s economy.
He said the project is in line with the federal government’s focus on the maritime economy’s essential role in national development.
“Cruise tourism holds immense potential, especially as we (the government) are actively promoting this sector. We have major cruise ports, including Port Klang and Penang.
“We anticipate that the completion of this terminal (in Melaka) will significantly benefit the state’s economy and stimulate regional development,” Loke said following the launch of the Melaka International Maritime Economy Conference 2024 (Mimec 2024), which was officiated by chief minister Ab Rauf Yusoh here today.
4 November - Terminal Kapal Persiaran Antarabangsa Melaka dijangka akan mula beroperasi selewat-lewatnya pada Jun tahun 2026, kata Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Utama Ab Rauf Yusoh.
Jelasnya, pembinaan terminal yang menelan kos RM682 juta itu sudah mencapai hingga 50 peratus.
“Mengikut terma kontrak yang kita telah berikan ia mesti disiapkan pada hujung tahun ini tetapi ada beberapa masalah teknikal.
“Saya melihat selewat-lewatnya Jun tahun depan jeti ke cruise akan mula beroperasi dan setakat hari ini. Saya lihat kedudukan pembinaan dan pembangunan jeti ini berada pada kadar 45 hingga 50 peratus siap,” katanya.
