2-Hour Approval | 90% Financing | Fleet Discounts | Port Klang Specialist | 12-84 Month Terms
Port Klang is Booming - Are You Ready to Expand Your Fleet?
Port Klang reached 14.64 million TEUs in 2024, ranking 10th globally. Westports expansion will DOUBLE capacity to 28 million TEUs by 2028. This creates massive opportunities for container hauliers.
What This Means for Hauliers:
- β Doubling container volume = double the hauling demand - More contracts, more revenue opportunities
- β Shipping lines seeking reliable fleet operators - Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM expanding operations
- β Early fleet expansion secures long-term contracts - Get ahead of competition now
- β Off-peak incentives: Earn extra RM15 per dual movement - Government subsidies for night operations
- β Diesel subsidy SKDS 2.0: Save RM1.20 per litre - Lower operating costs boost profitability
Industry Insight: Port Klang's expansion creates a golden window (2025-2028) for hauliers to expand fleets and secure shipping line contracts. Financing today means positioning for tomorrow's doubled capacity. Don't wait until competition intensifies.
Container Hauliers Face Unique Financing Challenges
You have shipping line contracts ready. But banks demand 30% down payment. Equipment dealers charge 12-15% interest. Your competitors are winning MSC and Maersk contracts because they have 5-10 trucks and you only have 1-2. Sound familiar?
- β Banks require 25-30% down payment, draining working capital
- β Slow bank approval (2-4 weeks) causes contract deadline misses
- β Cash flow crunch during monsoon/slow season (Nov-Feb lull)
- β Unable to scale fleet to meet shipping line minimum requirements
- β High diesel costs (RM3.35/L) and detention charges eating profits
- β Only 10% down payment (vs 25-30% banks). Preserve cash for fuel and operations
- β 2-hour approval for urgent contracts. Same-day for standard applications
- β Seasonal payment plans aligned with Port Klang container cycles
- β Fleet financing with volume discounts (0.5-1.5% lower rates for 2+ trucks)
- β SKDS 2.0 diesel subsidy guidance and GPS compliance support
Lee from Klang needed 3 Scania prime movers (RM 450,000 each) for MSC 5-year contract.
Bank rejected. We approved RM 1.2M fleet financing in 2 hours with only RM 135,000 down (10%).
Result: Secured MSC contract, earns RM 120,000 monthly from 3 trucks, expanded to 8 trucks within 2 years. Annual revenue now RM 1.8M.
Calculate Your Prime Mover ROI
Investment Example (1 Truck):
- β’ Used Scania 6x4 (8 years old): RM 180,000
- β’ Down payment (10%): RM 18,000
- β’ Monthly payment (48 months): RM 4,200
- β’ Total interest cost: RM 19,600
Revenue Potential (Port Klang):
- β’ Per trip rate: RM 180-280 (40ft container)
- β’ Daily trips: 2 trips (Port-KL return)
- β’ Monthly revenue (25 days): RM 9,000-14,000
- β’ Break-even: 2-3 months
Key Insight: At RM 200/trip average x 2 trips/day x 25 working days = RM 10,000 monthly revenue. After deducting RM 4,200 loan payment, RM 2,500 fuel (SKDS subsidized), RM 800 maintenance, RM 1,000 driver/expenses = RM 1,500/month profit PER TRUCK. With 3 trucks = RM 4,500/month = RM 54,000/year profit.

Submit your contract letter or purchase order along with your application. We understand contract-based revenue and structure financing accordingly.
Yes! We specialize in Port Klang container haulage financing. Over 60% of our prime mover clients operate in Klang Valley, Port Klang, Westports, and Northport areas. We understand: (1) Port Klang container volume cycles (peak season Nov-Feb, slow monsoon), (2) Shipping line contract requirements, (3) Detention and demurrage risks, (4) GPS tracking compliance for LPK (Lembaga Pelabuhan Klang). Our flexible payment plans align with Port Klang seasonal demand, helping you manage cash flow during slow months.
We accept all major brands: European trucks (Scania, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF, Iveco), Japanese trucks (Hino, UD Trucks, Isuzu), and Chinese trucks (Foton, Shacman, Sinotruk). European brands typically get better financing terms due to higher resale value. For Chinese brands, we may require 15-20% down payment. Both new and used trucks accepted. We evaluate based on condition, mileage, maintenance records, and market value.
Standard approval: Same day (within 6-8 hours) for complete applications. Urgent approval: 2 hours for hauliers with immediate contract deadlines or tender opportunities. We prioritize Port Klang operators who need trucks quickly for shipping line contracts. Submit your application in the morning, get approval by afternoon, and pick up your truck within 3-5 days. This speed is crucial for container haulage where contracts can be won or lost based on equipment availability.
For individuals/sole proprietors: (1) IC or Passport, (2) 6 months bank statements, (3) Income proof (contracts, trip sheets, bank deposits). For companies (Sdn Bhd): (1) SSM registration (Form 9/24/49), (2) Company bank statements (6 months), (3) Directors' IC copies, (4) Shipping line contracts if available (improves approval). Optional but helpful: Trip records, GPS tracking reports, existing truck ownership proof, APAD permit copy. For used truck purchases, seller's grant/registration card required.
Yes! Many successful Port Klang hauliers started as drivers and became owner-operators through our financing. We evaluate: (1) Your driving experience (minimum 3 years prime mover/heavy truck), (2) Customer contracts or potential clients, (3) Business plan and revenue projections, (4) Personal financial stability. First-time operators typically start with 1 used prime mover (5-10 years old) with manageable monthly payments (RM 2,500-4,500). After 12-18 months of good payment history, fleet expansion financing becomes easier.
We specialize in approving applications that banks reject. Bad credit or CTOS/CCRIS issues don't mean automatic rejection. We look at: (1) Current financial situation and cash flow, (2) Existing contracts or customers, (3) Truck value and condition (serves as collateral), (4) Business track record in container haulage. Many successful clients had credit issues before working with us. The prime mover's value secures the loan, reducing risk. Higher down payment (15-20%) may be required for severe credit issues, but approval is possible.
Yes! We understand container haulage has peak and slow seasons. Seasonal payment options include: (1) Higher payments during peak season (Chinese New Year rush Dec-Feb, year-end Oct-Dec), (2) Lower payments during slow periods (monsoon months, post-CNY lull), (3) Balloon payment structure with lower monthly payments and final balloon, (4) Grace periods during major festivals when operations slow. This flexibility helps Port Klang operators maintain positive cash flow year-round despite seasonal revenue fluctuations.
Absolutely! If you're paying high interest (above 10%) elsewhere, we can buy out your existing loan and provide better terms. Refinancing benefits: (1) Lower interest rates (save 2-4% annually), (2) Longer payment terms to reduce monthly burden, (3) Cash out for working capital (if truck value increased), (4) Consolidate multiple truck loans into one payment. Many clients refinance after 12-18 months when their business grows and they qualify for better rates. No penalty for early repayment on our loans.
No early repayment penalty! Pay off your loan anytime without extra charges. Many hauliers refinance after 12-24 months when their fleet grows and they qualify for better rates. You can also make extra payments during peak season (CNY rush, year-end) to reduce interest costs. This flexibility helps operators who experience sudden revenue growth from major contracts or project wins. Some clients pay off 3-year loans in 18-24 months and immediately expand their fleet.
Interest rates range from 6.5% to 11% per annum depending on: (1) Credit profile and score (better credit = lower rate), (2) Down payment amount (higher down = lower rate), (3) Loan term length (shorter term = lower rate), (4) Truck age and brand (newer European trucks = lower rate), (5) Existing contracts (shipping line contracts get 0.5-1% discount). Our rates are competitive vs banks (8-13%) and dealer financing (9-15%). Fleet financing gets additional 0.5-1.5% discount. Contact us for personalized quote based on your situation.
Yes! We offer combined prime mover + trailer financing packages. Options include: (1) Prime mover + 20ft/40ft container chassis, (2) Prime mover + flatbed trailer, (3) Prime mover + low loader trailer, (4) Complete turnkey package including GPS tracking system. Package deals often get better rates (0.5% discount) and single payment for both units. Perfect for new operators who need complete setup. We can also finance multiple trailers (2-3 units) per prime mover for operators who need backup chassis.
GPS tracking is recommended but not mandatory. However, installing GPS offers benefits: (1) Better interest rates (0.3-0.5% discount), (2) Required for Port Klang LPK/APAD compliance, (3) Required by major shipping lines (Maersk, MSC), (4) Improves fleet efficiency and fuel savings, (5) Reduces insurance premiums. We can include GPS system cost in the financing package. Popular systems: GPS Fleet, KATSANA, MYEZTRACKER. For prime movers 7.5 tons and above operating at Port Klang, GPS is legally required for APAD permit.
We understand container haulage in Malaysia has seasonal variations. Solutions include: (1) Seasonal payment plans (lower payments during monsoon Nov-Feb), (2) Payment deferrals (1-2 months during severe slow periods), (3) Interest-only payments temporarily during crisis, (4) Flexible payment dates aligned with major shipping cycles. Port Klang operators face 20-30% revenue drop during monsoon and post-CNY lull. Our financing accommodates this reality. Many banks don't understand haulage seasonality, but we do.
Yes, foreigners with valid work permits and Malaysian company registration can apply. Requirements: (1) Valid passport and work permit/MM2H visa, (2) Malaysian business registration (SSM for Sdn Bhd or Enterprise), (3) Local guarantor (Malaysian citizen or PR), (4) 6 months Malaysian bank statements, (5) Higher down payment (15-20% vs 10% for citizens).

Yes! Trade-in and upgrade programs available. Process: (1) Valuation of your current truck, (2) Settle remaining loan balance, (3) Apply trade-in value toward new/newer truck, (4) Finance the difference. After 12-18 months of timely payments, you can upgrade to larger, newer, or more efficient models. Many clients start with used Hino/UD trucks and upgrade to Scania/Volvo as business grows.
