A new era will unfold with the development of Jesselton Quay at Kota Kinabalu Port. Jesselton Quay is poised to be the new landmark of the state where one can dine, shop, and enjoy entertaiment by-the-sea. Kota Kinabalu Port is one of Sabah’s earliest and main ports. It used to handle a variety of cargo.
But today, Sapangar Port has taken over the major port role, and thus Kota Kinabalu Port only handles non-containerized cargo such as general cargo and dry bulk.
