Tan Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh, PTP Chairman, said: “PTP is committed to assist Malaysia’s effort in decarbonising the country’s maritime industry and therefore catalysing Malaysia’s and global commitments.”
Marco Neelsen, PTP Chief Executive Officer, echoed the sentiment by stating that PTP is honoured to be recognised by both Malaysia and Australia government for our commitment to sustainability.
“We relish this opportunity to work closely with both parties, especially through the P4I project team and hope that a successful implementation of this initiative will become a game changer in transforming the maritime industry in Malaysia,” added Neelsen.
