Muara Port Company Sdn Bhd (MPC), a joint venture company held by Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port Group, signed an agreement with the Brunei government on Dec 22 to take over the development and operation of the Muara Fish Landing Complex for 40 years.

Located in east Brunei, the Muara Fish Landing Complex covers a total area of 16.11 hectares and a costal line of 200 meters. Being the only public fishing terminal in Brunei, the port can accommodate 30 mid- or small-sized fishing boats at the same time.

It is expected that MPC will help increase the status of Bruneian fishing products in the global supply chain.

The Muara Fish Landing Complex will apply modern technologies and build advanced facilities, such as a smart information center, to provide real-time statistics and information with the help of big data.

It will take an active role in exploring a new development model integrating ports, industries, and industrial parks to optimize the supporting infrastructure including ice making, cold storage, oil supply, and water supply. 

Efforts will also be made in cultivating local talents to develop a sustainable and export-oriented development method.
