Published on: Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 11, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Industrial and Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe ( pic ) has taken proactive steps to address congestion and operational concerns raised by logistics and transportation stakeholders at Sepanggar Port.

Advertisement He was briefed on improvements, including the deployment of three new Rubber Tyred Gantry cranes, which have helped reduce berthing waiting times and improved wharfside operations. Despite these gains, congestion persists at the entrance and container yard due to a spike in export volume, with TEU growth reaching 11 per cent year-on-year as of May this year. DP World is set to roll out a Vehicle Booking System (VBS) in July to ease lorry traffic and reduce queuing times, while the Sepanggar Port expansion remains on schedule for completion by Q3 2026. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

No electricity surcharge for Sabah, Labuan users from July to December
Published on: Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 11, 2025 Text Size: For illustrative purposes only. KOTA KINABALU: All electricity users in Sabah and Labuan will not be subjected to any surcharge from July to December this year. The State Government has approved the implementation of the Imbalance Cost Pass-Through (ICPT) mechanism for the second half of 2025. Advertisement This decision was made as power generation costs remain manageable, eliminating the need for targeted surcharges imposed in previous periods. The ICPT, part of the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) framework, allows for biannual tariff reviews based on actual generation costs compared to projected figures under the approved Regulatory Period. The move will benefit all consumers, including those under public distribution licensees, ensuring no increase in electricity bills during the six months. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
