On 9th April 2007, Sunway CPA Student Charter (SCSC) organised a field trip to Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd located in Pulau Indah, Port Klang, Malaysia. Port Klang has become a free commercial zone, handling 55 % of the container trade in Malaysia with three gateways of NorthPort, West Port and South Port (http://allmalaysia.info/msiacommerce). 39 Victoria University students together with Mr. Teoh Cheng San, Ms. Jamuna Moorthy and Ms. Lee Phaik , departed from Sunway University College at 9.03 am.

Westports has proven itself in terms of efficiency and reliability with its cargo handeling capabilities. In its brief 13-years history, Westport has been voted among the top 10 ports in Asia. Its waterfront reliability, distinctive stevedoring capabilities and versatility in handling of cargo, has won it awards from near to far (www.westportsmalaysia.com).
