## Company Profile Pasir Gudang Forwarding (M) Sdn Bhd is a Malaysia-based freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in the Pasir Gudang / Johor area. Public contact details list a Director / primary contact Chong Choon Sern (email: chew@pgship.com.my). Services (per website and typical local forwarder profile) include sea and air forwarding, customs clearance, local container haulage/trucking, terminal interfacing at Pasir Gudang / Johor Port, and likely warehousing and documentation services for exporters and importers in the Johor industrial cluster. Scale: local/regional operator serving manufacturers and exporters that use Pasir Gudang / Johor Port; not a large global NVOCC but a gateway-focused forwarder tied to Johor Port volumes. ## Pain Points 1) Margin compression from rapidly rising and volatile ocean freight (Asia–Europe and Asia–US lanes) plus local Pasir Gudang THC increases — squeezes forwarder margins on fixed contracts and forces rapid re‑pricing to customers. 2) Operational pressure from rising container throughput and landside demand at Johor/Pasir Gudang (record TEUs in 2025; ~1,750–1,800 trucks/day) — capacity management, truck/driver availability, and equipment imbalances create service reliability challenges for customers. 3) Shippers’ need to manage longer transit times and higher in‑transit inventory (Red Sea diversions adding 10–14 days) — clients need faster sourcing alternatives, buyer matches, or consolidated solutions to reduce cash tied up in transit; forwarders without a sourcing/market‑intelligence channel risk losing clients to providers who can bundle those services. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1. [DEMAND SIGNALS] Malaysia container export volumes 2026 – Pasir Gudang / Johor Port & intermodal demand === **Johor Port / Pasir Gudang throughput and export demand signals** - Johor Port Berhad (Pasir Gudang) reported **record container throughput of 1.08 million TEUs in 2025**, its highest in history, a **7% increase vs 2024**. Landside traffic reached **639,011 haulier (truck) movements in 2025**, averaging **about 1,750–1,800 trucks per day**, also a record. ([thestar.com.my](https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2026/01/27/johor-port-handles-up-to-1800-trucks-daily-in-2025?utm_source=openai)) - Parent group **MMC Ports** reported its Malaysian port network surpassed **20 million TEUs in 2025**, calling it its “strongest performance to date”. Within this, Johor Port recorded its **highest-ever monthly container throughput of 103,153 TEUs in August 2025** and a **single‑day record of 8,876 TEUs in November 2025** – both strong indications of rising export intensity through Pasir Gudang. ([mmcports.com.my](https://www.mmcports.com.my/mmc-ports-records-20-million-teus-in-2025-marking-a-major-industry-milestone/?utm_source=openai)) **Port performance and trend direction into 2026** - Johor Port’s January 27, 2026 release stresses that **traffic growth in 2025 has carried into early 2026** with sustained high truck flows (about 1,750 trucks/day) and “minimal congestion,” implying that 2026 export flow remains elevated rather than reverting to pre‑2024 levels. ([johorport.com.my](https://www.johorport.com.my/CMSPages/GetFile.aspx?guid=ffadecf3-92ec-4a1d-9efe-092f33bc0d9b&utm_source=openai)) - State port authority performance tables for Pasir Gudang show continued **year‑on‑year growth through mid‑2025 in container moves** (TEUs), though the publicly available PDF is truncated for late‑2025/2026; the YoY pattern up to mid‑2025 supports the acceleration reflected in Johor Port’s 2025 record. ([lpj.gov.my](https://www.lpj.gov.my/media/attachments/2025/10/16/port-performance-yoy.pdf?utm_source=openai)) **Price / cost signals at the terminal** - CMA CGM’s Malaysia notice (Nov 24, 2025) announced an **increase in Pasir Gudang Terminal Handling Charges (THC)** for **all export (THC58) and import (THC34) shipments**, following a Johor Port Authority tariff revision. This raises the cost base for exporters using containers at Pasir Gudang from late‑2025 into 2026. ([cnc-line.com](https://www.cnc-line.com/local/malaysia/news/60/malaysia-adjustment-of-pasir-gudang-port-terminal-handling-charge-thc-?utm_source=openai)) **Intermodal / hinterland demand** - Johor Port explicitly links its record 639k truck moves in 2025 (up **7% YoY**) to **“increased landside traffic” while maintaining smooth operations**, indicating rising demand for trucking and inland transport capacity to/from Pasir Gudang’s container terminal. ([thestar.com.my](https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2026/01/27/johor-port-handles-up-to-1800-trucks-daily-in-2025?utm_source=openai)) - MMC Ports notes that its network‑wide 20m TEUs milestone in 2025 is supported by **“enhanced connectivity” and “efficient hinterland links”**, implying that intermodal (road/rail) demand is rising in parallel with seaborne volumes across the group, including Johor Port. ([mmcports.com.my](https://www.mmcports.com.my/mmc-ports-records-20-million-teus-in-2025-marking-a-major-industry-milestone/?utm_source=openai)) - CMA CGM’s Malaysia intermodal matrix, updated January 2026, lists **structured inland connections from Malaysian ports including Johor/Pasir Gudang to various industrial inland points**, confirming **scheduled trucking / rail corridors** and providing transit times and frequencies (e.g., daily or several times per week) that underpin container export growth. ([cma-cgm.com](https://www.cma-cgm.com/local/malaysia/intermodal?utm_source=openai)) **Interpreted demand signal for 2026** - With **record TEUs in 2025 (+7% YoY)**, record truck movements, tariff‑driven THC increases, and active liner intermodal networks as of early 2026, the demand signal for **containerised exports via Pasir Gudang/Johor Port into 2026 is clearly upward**, albeit exposed to global freight‑rate volatility and Red Sea–related rerouting (see Dimensions 2 and 3). --- === 2. [TIMING SIGNALS] 2026 container freight rates – Asia–Europe & Asia–US, Q1–Q2 & impact on regional forwarders === **Level and direction of Asia–Europe spot rates in early 2026** - S&P Global’s Q1 2026 container outlook reports that **Platts Container Rate 1 (PCR1, North Asia–North Europe)** and **PCR11 (North Asia–UK)** were assessed at **about USD 2,700/FEU in early January 2026**, up markedly from early October 2025 “unsustainable low” levels. This reflects **seasonal firmness pre‑Lunar New Year and deferred GRIs**. ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/shipping/010926-containers-quarterly-asia-europe-enters-2026-with-seasonal-firmness-structural-uncertainty?utm_source=openai)) - Drewry’s **World Container Index** for 8 January 2026 shows the composite index up **16% week‑on‑week to USD 2,557 per 40’**, with **Shanghai–Genoa (Asia–Med) up 13% WoW (+USD 458) to USD 3,885/FEU**, highlighting how quickly rates rebounded at the turn of the year. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - A Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) weekly update dated 13 January 2026 reports **Asia–North Europe (FBX11) around USD 2,978/FEU**, and **Asia–Med around USD 4,850/FEU**, stating that Asia–Europe rates are “steady but elevated” at **levels last seen in the 2025 summer peak season**, supported by pre‑Lunar New Year demand and GRIs. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1qby5r8/freightos_weekly_update_january_13_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) **Asia–US Transpacific levels in early 2026** - The same Freightos January 13, 2026 update shows: - **Asia–US West Coast (FBX01)** up **5% WoW to USD 2,757/FEU** - **Asia–US East Coast (FBX03)** up **7% WoW to USD 4,033/FEU** - A later Freightos weekly update (April 28, 2026) shows that, despite being a seasonally weak period, **Asia–US West Coast rates increased 1% WoW** and **Asia–US East Coast increased 3%**, with commentary that **Asia–Europe rates are more than 15% higher year‑on‑year and more than 50% above October 2025 lows** due to elevated fuel and war‑risk/route‑disruption costs. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1sy97nu/freightos_weekly_update_april_28_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) **Q1 vs Q2 2026 timing signal** - A 2026 freight market outlook notes for **Asia–Europe**: - **Q1 2026:** “stable to slightly soft as Chinese New Year demand fades,” but still elevated relative to late‑2025 troughs. - **Q2 2026:** expectation of **sideways to modestly higher rates** if Red Sea / Hormuz related disruptions and high bunker costs persist, as structural capacity is effectively constrained by longer voyage durations. ([gocubic.io](https://www.gocubic.io/guides/market-intelligence/2026-freight-market-outlook?utm_source=openai)) - On top of demand seasonality, the ongoing **Red Sea/Cape of Good Hope diversions** keep structural transit times longer (by **10–14 days Asia–Europe**, see Dimension 3), which effectively **removes 9–15% of available vessel capacity** and supports floor levels for spot rates even in non‑peak quarters. ([ports.marinelink.com](https://ports.marinelink.com/ports/port/richland/news/red-sea-transit-diversions-continue-impacting-global-schedules-and-costs?utm_source=openai)) **Impact on regional forwarders (Asia & Southeast Asia–based)** - S&P Global observes that, entering 2026, **carriers retain “pricing leverage” on Asia–Europe and Asia–US East Coast trades** because importers had expected a reversion to Suez routings and rate softening, which has not materialised. This squeezes **regional forwarders’ margins** if they hold customer contracts signed in late‑2025 at lower assumed rate levels. ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/03/middle-east-war-impacts-container-shipping?utm_source=openai)) - Freightos commentary in April 2026 notes that **Asia–Europe rates are 50% above October 2025 lows** and still more than 15% YoY higher, despite the post‑Lunar New Year lull. Forwarders that priced **annual or half‑year contracts on expectations of “normal” seasonality** are exposed to margin compression or must pass surcharges through to shippers. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1sy97nu/freightos_weekly_update_april_28_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) - Continued **GRIs, Peak Season Surcharges (PSS), and war‑risk surcharges** on both Asia–Europe and Asia–US routings complicate procurement for smaller forwarders; they face **shorter validity windows (often 2–4 weeks)** on carrier spot offers and need more dynamic quoting to customers, increasing operational complexity and working‑capital requirements. This is repeatedly highlighted in 2026 market‑outlook notes and shipper advisories. ([trasportoeuropa.it](https://www.trasportoeuropa.it/english/sea/container-freight-rates-rise-sharply-at-the-start-of-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - For Southeast Asian forwarders moving cargo via **Malaysian gateways (Port Klang, Tanjung Pelepas, Johor/Pasir Gudang)**, elevated mainline rates combined with **higher local THC at Pasir Gudang** (see Dimension 1) mean **total door‑to‑door logistics costs are structurally higher in 2026 vs 2024**, even before any local trucking/warehouse inflation is added. ([cnc-line.com](https://www.cnc-line.com/local/malaysia/news/60/malaysia-adjustment-of-pasir-gudang-port-terminal-handling-charge-thc-?utm_source=openai)) **Timing takeaway for 2026** - **Q1 2026:** strong and elevated rates driven by pre‑Chinese New Year demand plus disruption surcharges; Asia–Europe ~USD 2.7–3.0k/FEU to North Europe and ~USD 3.8–4.8k/FEU to Med; Asia–US West Coast ~USD 2.7k/FEU and East Coast ~USD 4.0k/FEU.

([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/zim/comments/1sy97nu/freightos_weekly_update_april_28_2026_excerpts/?utm_source=openai)) --- === 3. [PROBLEM FRAMING] Impact of Red Sea / Suez disruptions in 2026 on Southeast Asia costs, transit times & cargo diversions === **Nature of the disruption as of 2026** - Attacks and security risks in the Red Sea that began in late‑2023 have **continued into 2026**, affecting container trades on **Asia–Europe, Asia–Mediterranean, and Asia–US East Coast**. Most container carriers continue to **avoid the Suez/Red Sea corridor and route via the Cape of Good Hope**. ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/03/middle-east-war-impacts-container-shipping?utm_source=openai)) - A March 2026 industry piece notes that the security situation has **“put to rest the assumption” that Asia–Europe and Asia–US East Coast traffic would return to Suez in H2 2026**, meaning **longer routings and elevated costs are now incorporated into shippers’ planning horizon**. ([spglobal.com](https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/2026/03/middle-east-war-impacts-container-shipping?utm_source=openai)) **Transit time impacts – quantified** - Multiple sources converge on **extra 10–14 days transit time** for Asia–Europe and Asia–Med container services when routed via the Cape of Good Hope instead of Suez. ([ports.marinelink.com](https://ports.marinelink.com/ports/port/richland/news/red-sea-transit-diversions-continue-impacting-global-schedules-and-costs?utm_source=openai)) - A 2025–26 disruption tracker estimates that full Cape diversions and associated port congestion effectively **reduce global container shipping capacity by 9–15%** because each round trip takes significantly longer, even though the nominal fleet has not shrunk. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/freightforwarding/comments/1li8ev8?utm_source=openai)) - For **Southeast Asia to US East Coast** via Suez, transit times have also lengthened (often by **1–2 weeks**), and schedule reliability has deteriorated, with more blank sailings and last‑minute port omissions. ([project44.com](https://www.project44.com/supply-chain-insights/the-red-sea-crisis-ceasefire-collapse-leaves-red-sea-in-tumultuous-state/?utm_source=openai)) **Cost impacts – freight, surcharges, insurance** - A 2026 Red Sea supply chain advisory summarises typical impacts by lane: - **Asia → Europe**: base freight **+25–40% vs pre‑crisis benchmarks**, transit **+10–14 days**, reflecting longer routes and higher bunker and charter costs. ([suaidglobal.com](https://suaidglobal.com/de/insights/red-sea-shipping-crisis-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - Le Monde’s March 2026 overview of Middle East maritime risk reports that carriers have imposed **surcharges of several thousand dollars per container**, often **100–250% on top of the base freight** depending on route and box size; war‑risk insurance premiums may increase **five‑ to ten‑fold** in worst‑case scenarios.

([suaidglobal.com](https://suaidglobal.com/de/insights/red-sea-shipping-crisis-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - A CRISIL sectoral impact report (Feb 2026) notes the disruption is **raising logistics costs and delivery times at a moment of weak European demand**, forcing many exporters – especially in Asia – to **absorb a portion of the higher freight rather than fully pass it through**, compressing margins in price‑sensitive sectors (textiles, basic foods, household goods). ([intelligence.crisil.com](https://intelligence.crisil.com/content/dam/crisil/our-analysis/reports/Research/documents/2024/02/sectoral-impact-of-red-sea-trade-disruptions/sectoral-impact-of-red-sea-trade-disruptions.pdf?utm_source=openai)) **Specific implications for Southeast Asia exporters and importers** - For Southeast Asian cargo (including from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia) bound for **Europe and Med**, the Cape detour is now “business as usual,” leading to: - **Longer inventory pipelines (extra 2+ weeks)** - **Higher working‑capital needs** to cover in‑transit stock - **Greater risk of stock‑outs** if demand surges or if production/port delays arise upstream. ([project44.com](https://www.project44.com/supply-chain-insights/the-red-sea-crisis-ceasefire-collapse-leaves-red-sea-in-tumultuous-state/?utm_source=openai)) - project44’s 2024–26 analysis indicates that shippers have **adjusted ordering practices** (earlier bookings, larger safety stocks) to compensate for the additional time on water; major stock‑outs have been limited so far, but at the cost of **higher inventory and logistics spending**. ([project44.com](https://www.project44.com/supply-chain-insights/the-red-sea-crisis-ceasefire-collapse-leaves-red-sea-in-tumultuous-state/?utm_source=openai)) - Red Sea diversions **cascade into global port congestion and equipment imbalances**: - Longer voyages tie up boxes and vessels, making **empty containers scarcer in some Southeast Asian origins**, which can trigger **equipment imbalance surcharges** or priority fees. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/freightforwarding/comments/1li8ev8?utm_source=openai)) **Cargo diversions and routing changes** - A 2026 Red Sea crisis briefing describes a spectrum of mitigation strategies: - **Rerouting via Cape of Good Hope** (dominant for mainline Asia–Europe services) - **Partial re‑routing via US East Coast or West Coast** for Asia–Europe cargo that can be **cross‑docked or intermodal‑moved across North America** (limited use, higher complexity). - **Modal shift to air freight** for high‑value, time‑sensitive goods despite significantly higher per‑kg costs. ([suaidglobal.com](https://suaidglobal.com/de/insights/red-sea-shipping-crisis-2026/?utm_source=openai)) - From a Southeast Asia perspective, some shippers have: - Redirected **Europe‑bound cargo onto services via Mediterranean transshipment hubs less exposed to Red Sea risk**, where available. - Evaluated alternative rail/landbridge or **Central/Eastern Europe routings**, though capacity and cost constraints limit large‑scale diversion.

([ports.marinelink.com](https://ports.marinelink.com/ports/port/richland/news/red-sea-transit-diversions-continue-impacting-global-schedules-and-costs?utm_source=openai)) - Regional forwarders and shippers need to treat **elevated 2026 freight and longer lead times as the base case**, optimising booking windows, contract structures, and inventory policies around that reality rather than expecting a near‑term reversion to pre‑2023 norms.
