Despite the economic gloom around the world, 2008 has not been disastrous to say the least. Cargo throughput has remained stable despite reduced number of shipcalls. While "project cargo" from Petronas 2nd Methanol Plant has dwindled due to the plant's completion, other cargo especially for offshore 08G support service sector remained buoyant and the leading contributor of cargo traffic. This reflects the long term commitment of the industry players.
