<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>The Johor Port Authority was established in 1978, with the port being constructed the following year in 1979. The Johor Port Authority was incorporated in 1993, and in 1995 the port was privatized to Johor Port Berhad,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> which is now a wholly owned <a href="/facts/Subsidiary/l25YN38x">subsidiary</a> of <a href="/facts/MMC_Corporation_Berhad/uXHWyMuV">MMC Corporation Berhad</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="facilities-and-services">Facilities and services</h2> <p>With 5,500 ground slots and an annual capacity of 1,500,000 <a href="/facts/Twenty-foot_equivalent_unit/E2WU7lD5">twenty-foot equivalent units</a> (TEU), the terminal's equipment and facilities include: </p> <ul><li>8 <a href="/facts/Container_crane/9fnvpqas">container cranes</a>, 5 of which are <a href="/facts/Container_crane/9fnvpqas">Post-Panamax</a></li> <li>26 transfer cranes</li> <li>6 reach <a href="/facts/Stacker/lVtGzbfS">stackers</a></li> <li>46 <a href="/facts/Prime_mover_(tractor_unit)/NU8CNXkC">prime movers</a></li> <li>Dedicated <a href="/facts/Rail_transport/9nJQbsDV">rail</a> depot, connecting to the national rail network, <a href="/facts/Singapore/CQDkhUvD">Singapore</a> and <a href="/facts/Thailand/GCUnN4JK">Thailand</a></li> <li>70,000 sq. meters of warehouse space for <a href="/facts/Containerization/fxuCbDc3">containerized cargo</a></li></ul> <p>Since its inception, Johor Port has been handling liquid <a href="/facts/Bulk_cargo/uF94k6DP">bulk cargo</a>. Specifically, it provides facilities for <a href="/facts/Cooking_oil/FwHp4QXg">edible oils</a> - primarily <a href="/facts/Palm_oil/n8zHXqoG">palm</a> and <a href="/facts/Soybean_oil/I9NzorzT">soybean</a> oils - and <a href="/facts/Petroleum/IQV0bHVd">petroleum</a> products. The port has a freshwater capacity of 1.9 million liters to supply <a href="/facts/Ship/418ptx1L">ships</a>, which is done through hydrants on the <a href="/facts/Wharf/yg3NRNdE">wharves</a> and the breasting island of the oil <a href="/facts/Jetty/a5aGm28o">jetty</a>. </p><p>For its <a href="/facts/Bulk_cargo/uF94k6DP">bulk</a> and <a href="/facts/Break_bulk_cargo/UQguJg2C">break bulk</a> operations, Johor Port has <a href="/facts/Mooring_(watercraft)/3Pl1EkqM">berths</a> with an overall length of almost 2.4 km and nearly 200,000 sq. meters of storage facilities. The port's depth of 13.8 meters means it can accommodate dry <a href="/facts/Bulk_carrier/Pas7T2FE">bulk carriers</a> up to 60,000 tonnes <a href="/facts/Deadweight_tonnage/Xx3VLnhg">deadweight</a> (DWT). Its gantry crane and the Impsamade level-stuffing crane can handle 800 tons per hour; the two <a href="/facts/Wharf/yg3NRNdE">wharf</a>-side cranes can handle 400 <a href="/facts/Ton/HDTb0fQo">tons</a> per hour.
