BUKIT MERTAJAM: All six iconic Penang ferries, no longer suitable for transportation services and not in use, may be disposed of if no parties are interested in taking over or refurbishing them, says Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow adding that this is due to the deteriorating and decaying structure of the ferries.

“I was informed that the bottom parts of the ferries have also decayed. If no one is interested in taking them over, they cannot be kept there forever,“ he told reporters. The Penang Port Commission opened a Request For Proposal to repurpose the ferries. Two might still be salvageable – one with the developer Ideal Property and another that would be turned into a ferry museum based at Tanjung Marina.
