PENANG Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB), which operates passenger boats at the Swettenham Pier, will not increase frequency of the boats as they are currently running at full capacity.

PPSB chief executive officer Datuk Sasedharan Vasudevan said since Penang entered Phase Four of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), the boats which were earlier operating at a 20% to 30% capacity due to physical distancing, were now running at 100%.
