NORTHPORT, a multi-purpose port was born of a strong bonded lineage to its historically known name Port Swettenham, the pioneer port with its humble beginning in 1901 bringing along with it 101 years of rich heritage in port dynamics. For more than a Century Northport metamorphosed and evolved with great strides to rightfully earn the status of being Malaysia's gateway to the world and the preferred port among the world's major shipping lines.

Northport is strategically located within the Free Commercial Zone (FCZ) of Port Klang in the state of Selangor and on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia facing the world's longest and busiest straits, The Straits of Malacca. It is situated in the richest and most developed region of the country, the Klang Valley and it is only 60 kilometers away from the federal capital, Kuala Lumpur.
The port is accessible to the growth centers in the south as far as Johor and to the northernmost state of Perlis. Within these growth centers are the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), the Federal government's new administrative centers at Putrajaya, and the Selangor State Government's designated new growth centers at Sabak Bernam, Kuala Selangor and Kuala Langat.
