total transport cost is still at 15 percent with more than 20 percent of the total
transport cost taken by other charges.
This Lad Krabang-Port Klang land bridge is expected to move 20,700
TEU by the end of 1999[7]. Each block train has a capacity of 50 TEU per
trip and the trains are now running 14 times a week. The shipment leaving
Vientiane on Monday, will arrive at Lad Krabang on Tuesday and leave for
Port Klang on Wednesday. The actual transit time is 60 hours (~ 2.5 days)
from Lad Krabang to Port Klang. The advantage of the service is that the
transit time from Port Klang to Lad Krabang has been shortened compared
to between five to seven days by sea and four days by road. Port Klang may
not be as big as Singapore port but is still an important regional hub port
with a throughput of more than 1,813,348 TEU in 1998, and daily connection
to the main European ports. Customs procedures for this land bridge is done
at the Lad Krabang ICD so there is no need for the goods to be cleared at the
Malaysian border of Padang Besar. It is Malaysia’s policy to promote Port
Klang as a regional load-centre and transhipment hub in order to compete
with Singapore. This is done by offering special rates for cargo that transit
through Port Klang, from 50 USD/TEU for cargo originating from Malaysia
to 37 USD for third country cargo. Free storage up to 28 days is also
provided for transit cargo. Figure 12 represents the inland transport cost up
to Port Klang.
