PAST PRESIDENT DESK



North Malaysia Shipping Agents Association (NMSAA) was formed in May 1987. We have come a long hard way and attained the status for what we are today. The number of members comprising of both Container and Non-Container Agents has been increased to 65 to date.
Based on the past 5 years statistics of Penang Port Sdn Bhd, the compounded throughput for containerised cargo has averagely recorded a growth of 6% per year and that for non-containerised 3.4 %. The number of ships calling also recorded an average increase of 1 %. In parallel to this progressive growth, it is therefore necessary for NMSAA to have a closer rappot with various authorities, in order to ensure both the needs and interests of all members are well protected.
The purpose of this website is basically to facilitate an easy access for all members on the opdated data and informations, as well as whatever feedbacks from the members for the Association to response with the needful.
It is confident that with the readiness at all times, NMSAA will move forward to play an vital role in the industry today and tomorow.
Thank you & best regards.
Franco Ong.
