Company Strategy and Planning

 One of company strategy that TLP had done is provide a services that cheaper than other port. TLP is a competitor of the port of Singapore where complaints over high cost have been rather persistent. For example, Trafigura Pte. Ltd., a Swiss-based oil trading company, has planned to shift the bulk of its petroleum storage operations from Singapore to TLP, once the construction of the petroleum storage facilities is completed in 2008. So, operating at TLP would be 60% cheaper. Other than that, next strategy that TLP had done is strategic location. For example, TLP is one of the busiest international shipping lanes in the world lies only 12.0 nautical miles (22.2 km) from Tanjung Langsat Port, which is strategically situated in the middle of South East Asia. One of the region's ports with the quickest growth rates is the 1,000 across port area, which has 4.5 kilometres of shoreline and is being developed as a regional Oil & Gas hub. It is well connected to the rest of the globe with three contemporary roads, two international airports, and two seaports.

Waybills

In maritime logistics, the waybill is also sometimes known as the bill of lading, a document that has been used among freight carriers and shippers for hundreds of years. This important piece of paper provides critical shipment details, such as the sender’s and recipient’s name and address, conditions of carriage and package contents all so that consignments can be delivered accurately, securely, and promptly.

The waybill is usually attached to the exterior of the package. Couriers, customs officials, and even machines refer to it to easily identify and track the package.

With the rise of e-commerce, the waybill has become an even more important component of the package. A unique tracking number on the waybill allows the item to be tracked in real time.
