Software for the chandlers who supply Tanjung Pelepas, not a chandler

Tidal is quoting software. Ship chandlers and marine suppliers use it to answer buyer RFQs faster. We do not supply vessels ourselves.

A good fit if you

  • Run a chandlery or marine supply business serving vessels at Tanjung Pelepas
  • Retype buyer RFQs into spreadsheets or your ERP before you can price them
  • Lose orders because a faster supplier answered first
  • Want consistent prices and margins on every quote, whoever prepares it

Not the right page if you

  • Need provisions or stores delivered to a vessel. Tidal does not supply ships, please contact a local chandler or your ship agent.
  • Want to sell products or services to Tidal. The demo form is for chandlers and suppliers looking at the software.

Tanjung Pelepas and Johor

A container transshipment hub on the Johor coast, across the strait from Singapore

The Port of Tanjung Pelepas sits at the mouth of the Pulai River in southwest Johor, a short distance across the water from Singapore. Built from scratch in the late 1990s, it is now one of Malaysia's busiest container ports, handling mainly transshipment cargo for some of the world's largest container lines. Its free zone, deep water berths and room to grow have drawn new terminals and logistics firms.

For a ship supplier, Tanjung Pelepas means very large container ships on tight schedules, with calls measured in hours. Stores, spares and provisions need to be at the berth when the ship arrives, and changes to the rotation can move delivery times at short notice. Suppliers here compete directly with Singapore, so quotes must be fast, complete and sharply priced to win the order.

Business culture

Business in Johor follows Malaysian practice: courteous, relationship based and respectful of seniority. Malay and English are both used, and many firms also work in Mandarin. Close ties with Singapore shape the pace and expectations of shipping business. WhatsApp is common for orders. Johor returned to a Saturday and Sunday weekend in 2025. Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali change working hours.

Port and maritime heritage

Tanjung Pelepas was mangrove and open coastline until the 1990s, when Malaysia set out to build a transshipment port to compete with Singapore. Trial operations began in October 1999 and the port was officially opened in 2000. That year Maersk took a 30 percent stake and moved its regional hub there, and Evergreen followed in 2002.

Local market

Large container ships and feeders dominate, almost all on transshipment services linking Asia with Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Buyers are mainly line operators, managers abroad and agents. They expect fast quotes, delivery timed to berth windows, competitive prices against Singapore suppliers and correct customs handling for stores delivered in the free zone.

Working with us from Tanjung Pelepas

We begin with a remote 30 minute demo on one of your own RFQs. Most chandlers are live in about a week on their own catalogue and margin rules, without an IT team. Malaysia is 2.5 hours ahead of India, so our working day covers yours from about 11.30am to the close of business, Monday to Friday.
