KUALA LUMPUR: Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd (SMT) has announced the expansion of the Shell Westport Fuels Terminal, which will introduce new import infrastructure, comprising three additional gasoline and diesel tanks, enabling the terminal to accommodate full medium-range vessel parcels, thereby improving supply efficiency and operational capability.
SMT and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd managing director Shairan Huzani Husain said construction is expected to begin in 2026 and will be carried out in phases, with expansion readiness targeted from early 2028.
“All contracts for the project have been awarded to Malaysian-incorporated companies,” he said in a statement today in conjunction with the groundbreaking event.
Shairan also said today’s event marks major progress in Shell’s efforts to strengthening national energy security.
“With this investment, we are strengthening this terminal to do more, to bring in fuels more competitively, to handle larger volumes and to keep supply reliable across the country,” he added.
Shairan also said that 20 per cent of Shell’s mobility network is located in Selangor, and its largest footprint in any single state.
Located in Port Klang, one of the region’s key maritime hubs, the Westport terminal has been a core part of Shell’s supply network since 2010. – BERNAMA
