Most of the depots have no shelters. Thus, when it rains, most depots stop their operations. It is hazardous to continue lifting the containers under adverse weather conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

High Import Volumes
There is a record spike in import volumes from Asia to the US and Europe and booming e-commerce sales due to people buying online. As a result, ports are overloaded, and there is a lack of containers and equipment to handle cargo.

 

 

 

 

 

Heavy Traffic causes delay in shipping

Crowded traffic conditions

Drivers may encounter delays in delivering containers during periods of peak traffic. This is primarily due to the increased volume of vehicles on the roads, which can lead to congestion and slower travel times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The speed limit of heavy vehicles
In Malaysia, there are specific speed limits imposed on heavy vehicles depending on the type of roadway they are traveling on. On expressways, heavy vehicles are restricted to a maximum speed of 90 km/h, while on federal and state roads, the speed limit ranges from 60 km/h to 80 km/h.
