A lot of the mining locations in the region had small ports, so yes, a level 1 port....GP


Some further searching turned up some photos - it has piers, cranes and the usual sort of facilites,so building it to 4 from an SPS of 1 (and dropping a base with nav support in) should be enough.

The second photo shows the "Swettenham Pier" at Penang (Georgetown in the game), not Port Swettenham.

I have found a History of Port Swettenham. It appears that at the time of WWII the port had wharf space for three coastal and two ocean-going vessels. Highest amount of yearly tonnage handled before WWII was less than 612.000 tons (in 1940), which gives a daily average of under 2000 tons. In AE, a size 1 port can handle max 2500 tons per day. So it seems the port size 1 is good.
