Kuala Lumpur, 13 March 2019 – Dagang NeXchange Berhad (“DNeX”) has recently installed and commissioned a portable container system (“PCS”) for petroleum products.
Located in Sabak Bernam, the PCS station is owned and managed by Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Bernam Jaya and is currently operational and serving its community.
“We are happy with the development of this project as this is part of initiatives to expand contracting work in downstream sector leveraging on our expertise in delivering innovative engineered systems,” said Datuk Samsul Husin, Executive Deputy Chairman of DNeX.
Moreover, he said the PCS project provides DNeX with the opportunity in enabling supply of petroleum products to remote and under-served areas. The PCS is a self-contained modular fuel storage and dispensing unit.
“Both DNeX and our partner Petro Teguh (M) Sdn Bhd were initially faced with challenges in rolling out this project, which include site readiness and identifying the right proprietor of the PCS. But we believe that benefits the PCS can offer to the community in such under-served areas outweigh the initial challenges,” he added.
In addition, DNeX and Petro Teguh have initiated several changes in their arrangements including an option of revenue sharing at selected PCS stations sites, which are expected to better serve the project in the long term.
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with DNeX in this project, which can effectively extend supply of petroleum products to remote areas and help these communities in running their daily economic and personal lives,” said Dato Azmin Mustam Abdul Karim, Managing Director of Petro Teguh.
DNeX, through wholly-owned subsidiary OGPC Sdn Bhd, was awarded a contract to supply PCS for petroleum products by Petro Teguh in 2017. The contract involves designing, engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of up to 100 units of PCS. In addition, the contract also covers maintenance and supply of parts.
The contract price of a PCS station ranges from RM450,000 to RM1.5 million depending on the specifications and requirements of the location and the captive market it is designed to serve.
