Kannaltec Named Official Representative to Promote INTTRA in Malaysia

May 18, 2006

Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia, May 18, 2006 - INTTRA, the world’s largest multi-carrier
e-commerce platform for the ocean industry, has appointed Kannaltec to act in a representative role to assist in promoting INTTRA in Malaysia.

The Kannaltec Group, which specializes in maritime shipment monitoring solutions, will work closely with the shipper and freight forwarding community in Malaysia to promote usage of the INTTRA e-business portal, says Paul Stephen, INTTRA Managing Director, Indian Ocean Region.
 
“We are anticipating that the local presence of this well-known company will help Malaysian companies to adopt e-commerce in the region at a much faster pace,” said Stephen.  Malaysian container traffic is currently at more than 12 million TEUS annually.
 
Containers ordered through INTTRA grew by 100 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to INTTRA company records. Growth in the Asia/Pacific region was 165 percent in containers ordered through INTTRA for the same period.
 
“Kannaltec is pleased to be appointed the official representative of INTTRA in Malaysia.  Being a maritime solutions specialist over the past decade, we have built a strong relationship with both the shippers and the freight forwarding communities.  By representing INTTRA, we believe we can promote the international e-commerce portal and boost e-commerce growth in Malaysian ports,” said Lim Han Boon, CEO of the Kannaltec Group.
 
Han Boon believes INTTRA’s e-commerce portal will compliment Kannaltec’s Maritime Carriage Monitoring System, which is currently used “for collection of detention charges by the majority of the shipping lines making call to Malaysian ports.”  The effort to streamline and automate shipping procedures is in line with Malaysian government efforts to boost supply chain efficiency through e-commerce, he says.
 
To that end, he adds that Kannaltec’s network of offices in Malaysia -- which cover Port Klang, Penang, Pasir Gudang, Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching -- will further boost INTTRA’s presence in this important market.  “With Kannaltec’s representation, INTTRA’s existing and future customers will receive special attention from Kannaltec’s dedicated INTTRA support team in the various locations,” Han Boon said.
