Few days ago, Penang Government announced that pedestrians can enjoy free ferry rides for 6 months. But there’s more! Now we can all look forwards to floating museum and restaurants in the future! Definitely better than letting the ferries rot a way eh?
Transforming Five Penang’s Old Ferries
According to Penang Port Comission (PPC) Chairman, Datuk Tan Teik Cheng, the five iconic ferries will be handed over to eligible companies starting 1st July 2021. “Two ferries will be turned into special tourist ferries, two will be transformed into floating restaurants and another one will be made into a floating museum.”
The PPC has received many proposals on 19th March. After evaluations were made, the PPC Board of directors approved the qualified companies. “PPC and the successful companies will sign a contract of 10 plus five years,” he said in a statement here today.” Tan continued.
Three To Six Months To Rennovate The Iconic Ferries
Eligible companies can take up to six months to repair and renovate the iconic ferries.”PPC’s main mission now is to ensure that these five iconic ferries continue to appear in Penang waters.” Tan also believe that these ferries will be important tourism products and attractive holiday destinations in Penang.
