Sepangar Port, Sabah, East Malaysia

Construction of the Phase I of Sepangar Bay Container Terminal (SBCT) at Sepangar Port, Sabah is nearing completion and expected to be soft-launch by June 2007. Note: Sepangar Port might be spelt as Sepanggar Port.

SBCT Phase I container yard storage capacity is 1,824 TEUs ground slots with traffic volume of 197,000 TEUs annually.

With the planned construction of SBCT Phase II in the coming years, SBCT would be able to handle containers volume up to 470,000 TEUs annually.

SBCT is operated by Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd. Once the RM400 million (estimated) Sepanggar Port is fully operational, the old Kota Kinabalu Port will ceased its operation and the Jesselton Waterfront project construction will starts.
