The construction of Kuantan Port started in 1975 and was completed by the end of 1979. The port started partial operations in 1980 and was fully operational in 1984.

The operation of Kuantan Port was privatized to Kuantan Port Consortium Sdn Bhd (KPC) on 1 January 1998.

Subsequent to this, the Kuantan Port Authority took on the role of regulator and facilitator.
