Terminal  is a location where freight and passengers originates, terminates, or is handled in the transportation process. There are a lot of terminals that can be seen on Malaysia such as Port terminals and Malaysia Airports.

# data[].attributes.body
The largest ports and terminals are rated by the amount of cargo tonnage transported through them each year. Other factors included the amount of containers handled or ship trips. Most ports service dry and liquid bulk carriers, break bulk cargoes (goods carried separately in bags, cartons, crates, or drums; sometimes palletized), containers, roll-on/roll-off, and passenger ships. List starts with huge seaports that handle all freight. Inland river/lake ports are listed with the river/name. LNG terminals are classed as export (when the gas is chilled to a liquid to decrease volume for shipment) or import (where the LNG is off-loaded and regasified before entering pipelines for distribution). Break bulk commodities are mostly conveyed in containers nowadays, hence the item includes a list of major container ports and their throughput measured in TEUs, a common container size. Cruise/ferry ports are important for passenger traffic. Many seaports have military vessels or port facilities as well as commercial activity.

Ports are automated, and cargoes must be unloaded promptly and safely. Port staff must be organized and efficient since vessels may be waiting to dock and tides may interrupt navigation in and out of the port. Ports must be operated economically in order to compete with airlines and road transport companies. Each employee's responsibility adds to the port's seamless functioning. Opportunities are available in technical work, administration, customs, and management.

GEORGE TOWN: Penang is primed for a tourism rebound with the arrival of a second cruise ship at the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT) today, a sight not seen for more than two years.Penang Port Commission chairman Datuk Tan Teik Cheng said Resorts World Cruises' Genting Dream, carrying 3,325 tourists and 1,700 crew members, would call at Penang at 8am.

Last Saturday, Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas docked at SPCT after two years of Covid-19 restrictions that prevented the arrival of large cruise ships to Malaysia.

"With the efforts of the Penang Port Commission and Penang Port Sdn Bhd, Genting Dream Cruise, will bring more than 5,000 visitors to Penang.

"Following this, the cruise ship will sail from Singapore to Penang every Tuesday," said Tan, who described this as another great news for Penangites.

"I realised that after Spectrum of the Seas arrived in Penang last Saturday, the response from locals was encouraging.

"The vitality brought by tourism is an important factor in generating income for businesses," he said, adding that the arrangement of all aspects of the port, especially the transportation and arrival of passengers, had been smooth.

Tan also urged traders to seize the opportunity as more international cruises will be visiting Penang.

"I firmly believe that there will be more international cruise ships arriving in Penang in the future.

"Tourism can play an important role in the economic restructuring of Penang after the pandemic. The cruise industry will have a significant contribution," he said.

He added that since the expansion of SPCT, the berthing area was now bigger by about 30%.

Besides the solid deck wharf being extended 220m towards the north of the terminal from 400m to 620m, the breasting and mooring dolphin had also increased by 50m and 68m, respectively.

"Today, Penang will see two cruise ships - Spectrum of the Seas and Genting Dream - docking at SPCT," said Tan.

"Although the cruise ships will arrive at different times, it will definitely be a spectacular sight and a major breakthrough for SPCT," he said.

Genting Dream cruises will call at Penang from Singapore every Tuesday, while Spectrum of the Seas will call on Tuesdays and Saturdays every week in July.
