: The Ministry of Transport sees the new ferry service in Penang as having great potential as a new tourism product, by establishing a chartered ferry service as is being done in neighbouring Thailand.said that according to the current demand, the capacity of the ferry is more than enough, where only three ferries are needed for daily operations and another ferry can be used as a tourism product.
“This effort requires the cooperation of all parties. The ministry, through the Penang Port Commission , took a flexible approach, and allowed the ferry to be used for tourism purposes, but the operator needs to ensure that the safety aspect of passengers is guaranteed,” he told reporters here today.
Loke also welcomes if there are private parties interested in working with the government to revive the old ferries in the state to be used as tourism products.
