Wantas Shipping (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd was officially established on 5 December 1995 as a strategic extension of the long-established Lim Thye Kiang (Transport) Sdn Bhd. With a strong foundation in land logistics since the 1980s, the company recognized the growing demand for shipments to Langkawi and took a bold step to expand into maritime logistics by forming Wantas Shipping (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd.

The company’s first shipping services focused on barge operations between Kuala Kedah and Langkawi, providing essential marine connectivity to complement its land transport services. This integrated business model allowed for smoother collaboration between the two companies and positioned Wantas Shipping (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd as the only one-stop, end-to-end logistics provider in Kuala Kedah and Langkawi, covering both land and sea.

With over 40 years of experience in land logistics, forwarding, customs clearance, and domestic shipping, Wantas Shipping (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd has become a trusted partner for businesses requiring reliable and comprehensive logistics solutions. The company also handles import and export shipments from Port Klang, Penang Port, and Singapore Port to Langkawi, enabling efficient cargo flow across regional trade hubs.

In 2022, Wantas Shipping (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd expanded into RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping services, acquiring its first RORO vessel to operate on the Langkawi–Kuala Perlis route. This marked a significant milestone, allowing the company to support larger cargo and vehicle transport with greater efficiency and faster delivery times.

Today, Wantas Shipping (Langkawi) Sdn Bhd continues to build on its legacy of trust, efficiency, and customer focus, offering integrated logistics solutions tailored to the needs of its growing clientele across Malaysia and beyond.
