In 2025 September, MMC Port Holdings is working on the Malaysia IPO to raise $2 billion at $7 billion valuation with target 2025 Q4 IPO, updating the regulatory filing on 11th September 2025. MMC Port Holdings was founded in 1965 as MMC Ventures. Malaysia billionaire Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary with $2.4 billion fortune, is the largest shareholder of MMC Port Holdings. In 2025 June, MMC Port Holdings was reported to be planning for an IPO to raise $2 billion at $7 billion valuation. In 2024 October, MMC Port Holdings was reported to be planning for an IPO to raise $1.6 billion (MYR 7 billion) at $6.2 billion valuation (MYR 27 billion). MMC Port Holdings Sdn Bhd (“MMC Ports”), a member of MMC Group, operates major strategic gateways and transhipment hubs that are pivotal in facilitating international trade and commerce as well as promoting Malaysia’s economic growth. Our ports and logistics services generate tremendous value across global and domestic supply distribution chains. We are the largest port operator in Malaysia with seven ports, namely Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Johor Port, Northport, Penang Port, Tanjung Bruas Port, SPT Services and Andaman Port. Alongside our ports, we also have Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal, Port Klang Cruise Terminal and Langkawi Cruise Terminal, three state-of-the-art cruise terminals that provide world-class port services for cruises and other vessels. MMC Ports is a member of MMC Corporation Berhad. We are Malaysia’s largest container port operator and the country’s leading container hub for transshipment and gateway cargo, according to Drewry. We handle a wide range of container and conventional cargo and provide a balanced mix of transshipment and gateway services across our operations on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. We operate five sea ports and a solid product jetty terminal and conduct STS services at an offshore port. We provide marine services and operate free zones in the water limits and land around our ports. We also operate three cruise terminals. Our five sea ports are PTP, Johor Port, Northport, Penang Port and Tanjung Bruas Port. Our ports provides a mix of container, conventional cargo, marine and other services that are tailored to their business and customers. In aggregate, our ports registered 18.5 million TEUs of container throughput and 36.5 million FWTs of conventional throughput in FYE 31 December 2024. As at the LPD, we had a total of 92 berths for container and conventional cargo, with a combined length of 19,394.0 metres. Our ports are strategically located in close proximity to the main shipping route along the Strait of Malacca, serving as important transshipment hubs in Southeast Asia. This location along one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, combined with our diversified cargo handling capabilities, positions us as Southeast Asia’s key gateway to global trade, with connectivity to Intra-Asia, Transpacific, and Asia-Europe routes. According to Drewry, Intra-Asia is one of the highest growth markets in terms of container shipping volumes, driven by the region’s expanding middle class and the relocation of manufacturing centres to the region. We handle transshipment traffic from major global trade regions, including North America, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and Southeast Asia. The natural deep-water channel surrounding our ports allows us to handle containers for large local and international vessels with overall capacities of up to 24.0 million TEUs of container capacity and 51.4 million FWTs of conventional capacity at certain ports as at the LPD. Our ports are well-connected to Malaysia’s internal domestic infrastructure, including major highways such as the North-South Expressway and the Federal Highway, and Malaysia’s national railway network. This collective infrastructure provides connectivity for our ports throughout the country, including to key industrial zones and urban centres. Beyond domestic connectivity, our ports are strategically positioned to function as critical gateways linking Malaysia to neighbouring countries and regions, in particular Singapore served by Johor Port, and Southern Thailand served by Penang Port. As at the LPD, our ports collectively linked to 462 ports, had 5,490 vessel calls from various ships, and we received more than 224 weekly services from various shipping lines. Our STS services are carried out at Yan STS Port in Yan, Kedah, located approximately five nautical miles off the coast of Pulau Bunting. This facility enables cargo transfers from vessel to vessel at sea without the need to dock in-land. We provide port facilities and services for cruise ships through our three cruise terminals, SPCT, PKCT and LCT. The three cruise terminals handled approximately 1.5 million passengers in 2024. In aggregate, our cruise terminals collectively registered a total of 5.0 million passengers and 3,187 vessel calls for the Financial Years Under Review and from 1 January 2025 to the LPD, collectively. We have enhanced our operational efficiency through technology integration and automation initiatives, enabling us to deliver reliable and efficient services to our customers. For the FYEs 31 December 2022, 2023 and 2024, we generated revenue of RM4,058.1 million, RM3,961.0 million and RM4,356.5 million, respectively, and PATAMI of RM471.8 million, RM701.1 million and RM636.6 million, respectively.
