Construction of Telok Ewa Jetty, Pulau Langkawi, Kedah

The "Construction of Telok Ewa Jetty, Pulau Langkawi, Kedah" project in Kedah, Malaysia, involved the construction of a significant jetty infrastructure on Pulau Langkawi. This infrastructure consisted of a 400-meter-long jetty arm, jetty head, and sub-jetty. The purpose of such jetties is typically to facilitate the docking of boats, ships, or ferries, allowing for the transportation of goods and passengers to and from the island. The project was executed by Pembinaan Thin Chai Sdn.Bhd in partnership with Sato Kogyo Co., Ltd., and it spanned from 1976 to 1979. The total contract value for this project was RM 5.9 million. Jetties are crucial for remote and island communities like Pulau Langkawi, as they enable transportation and trade connections with the mainland and neighboring regions.
