S'gor MB: Pulau Carey port development in preliminary stages
The topic was among matters discussed during a joint committee meeting on industry coordination between the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) and the Selangor government on Monday (Aug 4).
Amirudin noted that discussions about the port's development are in their infancy and require further analysis.
"We need to forward this to the Finance Ministry and the Economy Ministry for additional input and study," he explained. "If the project progresses well, it could be incorporated into the 13th Malaysia Plan 2026 to 2030 or the Second Selangor Plan (RS-2), which is set to be tabled in June 2026," he added, following a three-hour meeting at Dewan Jubli Perak in Bangunan Sultan Abdul Aziz, Shah Alam.
The concept of a third port for Port Klang was initially suggested in 2010 as part of the Port Klang Master Plan, envisioning a mega port on Carey Island, Selangor.
The proposed facility is expected to handle an annual container throughput of 30 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) and aims for completion by 2060.
Amirudin co-chaired the Joint Committee Meeting with Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
The meeting also covered topics such as the development of waste-to-energy projects, industrial advancements, and an aero park in Selangor.
Additionally, MITI papers addressed the development of downstream and midstream rare earth elements (REE).

13MP must address issue of commuting safety
A CORE principle of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) is the 'Madani Economy' framework, which is built on two strategic pillars – 'Raise the Floor' to improve the quality of life for all Malaysians, and 'Raise the Ceiling' to boost the national economy. To truly achieve the 13MP's dual goals, we must recognise that prioritising public safety and well-being is a fundamental challenge that serves as both a social and an economic imperative.
