Kuantan New Port
Kuantan New Port, a multipurpose port
on Malaysia's east coast, has undergone significant transformation. Once
accommodating vessels up to 55,000 deadweight tonnes, the port now comprises
two distinct terminals. Kuantan Port 1 continues to serve smaller vessels,
while the New Deep-Water Terminal (NDWT), operational since 2018, handles
larger vessels up to 180,000 deadweight tonnes, primarily focusing on dry bulk
and break-bulk cargo.
While the port itself is primarily an
industrial hub, nearby attractions offer opportunities for exploration. Take a
day trip to Amédée Lighthouse, a short boat ride from Nouméa, for beach relaxation,
aquatic activities, and a taste of local cuisine. Immerse yourself in the
underwater world with scuba diving or snorkeling adventures to encounter
majestic manta rays in Ouvéa and
the Isle of Pines. For a thrilling experience, try skydiving over the
stunning lagoon landscape.
After a day of exploration, return to
Nouméa to experience the vibrant local markets, offering fresh produce,
seafood, and handcrafted items. Immerse yourself in the city's nightlife, with
beachfront lounges, rooftop bars, and dance clubs providing ample entertainment
options.
