How to get to Port Klang for the Bookfair on MV Logos Hope

I have been asked as to how to get to Port Klang where MV Logos Hope is docked and I'll get to that.

The Bookfair on this ship that is operated on a non-profit basis, will be here until Oct 23 and is open from Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 10pm and Sundays from 1pm (or is it 3pm as reported in The Star today) to 10 pm.

Here is a hassle-free way of getting to the bookfair on MV Logos Hope. Plusliner Travel & Tours is providing bus services to visit the floating library. There are two departure points, one at Terminal Bersepadu Selatan-Bandar Tasik Selatan (TBS-BTS), the other at Port Klang KTM commuter station.

The service is between RM8 and RM21. For more information, you can call 1-300-888-KTB (528).

For some bearing on where Port Klang is, the port is south-west of Kuala Lumpur and is some 23 miles (approx 38km) away from the city.

If you are not in Kuala Lumpur but would like to have the chance to visit the floating bookfair, MV Logos Hope will be making stops in this part of the world until March 2012. Check out the travel itinerary to see if it will be at your city.

American aircraft carrier in Port Klang

Update: The aircraft carrier will be here for 4 days in which Sailors will have the opportunity to volunteer their time at several local community service projects, including work in two children’s homes and a senior citizen’s home. - Source

Sometimes I wish Kuala Lumpur is situated by the coast where you can see boats, yachts or even ocean-liners gliding by, or at least located alongside a huge body of water such as a lake or a river where you can enjoy watching people sailing or watch fishing boats go by. Lovely!

Not sure whether the vessel is still at Port Klang but the American aircraft carrier, USS John C. Stennis, made a scheduled port call yesterday. The name doesn't ring a bell?

This same aircraft carrier was used in movies including Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Executive Decision and others. It also responded to disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami in Indonesia.
