Pier expansion crucial for Penang


SINCE the Swettenham Pier was established in 1903 and given a major refurbishment in 2010, its cruise terminal has handled more than a million passengers each year.

The cruise terminal handled nearly 1.1 million passengers in 2010 and the number grew to nearly 1.29 million in 2013 but dropped slightly to 1.02 million last year.
