Port of Mersing

Strategically positioned at coordinates 2.430917° N, 103.8361151° E on the southeastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Mersing (UN/LOCODE: MYMEP) serves as a critical maritime gateway within Johor state, operating under the Asia/Kuala_Lumpur timezone (UTC+8). Functioning primarily as a regional ferry terminal and minor cargo interface, the port facilitates essential connectivity between the mainland and the Seribuat Archipelago, notably Tioman Island, supporting both tourism logistics and local socioeconomic supply chains. Its operational profile encompasses passenger embarkation, roll-on/roll-off vehicle transport, and limited general cargo handling, underpinning its designation as a vital node in the East Coast maritime corridor and a designated customs entry point for cross-border traffic.
