The project’s key components include deepening the access channel to a depth of minus five metres, the construction of stabilisation embankments (training bunds) extending six kilometres on each side of the channel for a total length of 12 kilometres to control sediment movement, and the upgrading of navigational aids to strengthen maritime safety. Upon completion, the project is expected to significantly enhance port operations and establish a strong foundation for the future expansion of Miri Port as a major maritime and logistics hub in northern Sarawak.
