PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Transport (MoT) will develop the Malaysia Maritime Single Window (MMSW), a unified digital platform to facilitate trade and shipping services, in the fourth quarter (4Q) of this year to raise the nation’s ports’ competitiveness and reduce bureaucracy, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said that port operators in the country currently have to deal with 12 separate agencies, including the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, the Immigration Department, the Department of Malaysian Quarantine and Inspection Services, and port authorities before a ship is allowed to dock.
