The aim to establish Malaysia as a global Halal hub isn’t a new concern. The government has been working on this progress for several years now. Halal trade is being recognized as a new benchmark to ensure safety and quality of products.

As the only Malaysian port having the most extensive global shipping connectivity, Northport (Malaysia) Berhad offers a vital link in the transport and logistics chain for Halal products’ manufacturers and producers.

The country’s move into the global Halal market is on track with the facilities at Northport, allowing distribution to global routes that reach out to the more than 1 billion Muslim consumers worldwide.

The global Halal market is burgeoning as Halal consumables are gaining fast worldwide recognition. This is not merely because of the growing number of Muslims around the world, but simply because Halal food  is highly sought after by people from diverse races and religions who look for hygienic and healthy food.

Working closely with logistics providers and relevant bodies, Northport contributes to the supply chain of the Halal trade by ensuring efficiency in the delivery system. A port plays a critical role to facilitate a Halal hub that not only to allow timely transportation of goods, but also to provide a wider range of services to meet the specific requirements of the Halal trade.
