KOTA KINABALU, SP Marine Services Sdn Bhd, a unit of Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd, has strengthened its bulk liquid transport operations with the acquisition of Malaysia’s first Scania Euro V Bulk ADR Transport truck equipped with an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
The new addition is set to enhance operational reliability, transport safety, and service efficiency for the company’s marine and offshore support services. Featuring advanced safety alerts and stabilisation controls, the Euro V’s ADAS helps drivers maintain consistent travel times while reducing the risk of operational disruptions.
Receiving the key for the new vehicle is SP Marine Services director Datuk KY Mustafa (fifth right) from Scania Southeast Asia dealer director of east region, Rini Sabir Massgard.
“This investment reinforces our commitment to safe, timely, and dependable service delivery,” said Datuk Ng Kiat Min, group managing director of Sabah Ports. “Upgrading our transport assets allows us to optimise scheduling, improve load handling, and boost overall fleet performance.”
With ADR-compliant capabilities, the vehicle enables faster turnaround times, more predictable service windows, and improved handling of specialised bulk cargo. Its enhanced engine efficiency and maintenance framework are also expected to lower lifecycle costs and support more sustainable operations. Ng added, “This upgrade reflects our dedication to operational excellence, ensuring every link in our logistics chain — from port handling to final delivery — meets the highest standards.”
The vehicle will be integrated into SP Marine Services’ fleet management system, enabling real-time performance monitoring, route optimisation, and data-driven planning for stronger service delivery.
