Its strategic location straddling the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea, one of the world’s most important ship ping routes, makes its shipping industry one of the central pillars of its economic and social life. In 2017, Malaysia recorded a total trade of RM1.77 trillion, the highest rate in 13 years, compared to RM1.49 trillion recorded the previous year (MATRADE).
