KUCHING: Abolishing the cabotage policy will benefit Sarawak by enabling direct international shipping to and from the state instead of going through Port Klang.

Industrial and Entrepreneur Development, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan said this would make it more convenient for local importers and exporters as well as reduce freight charges and shipping times.
