PORT INFORMATION
KUALA LINGGI INTERNATIONAL PORT
Kuala Sungai Linggi has been a maritime trading post since the 14th Century, the location taking after the name “Linggi” meaning “Stem” in Bugis. A look-out fort at Bukit Supai in the vicinity was built by the Dutch & the Bugis as a token of their friendship and partnership in trade.
