PUTRAJAYA: The quality of subsea data cable maintenance will be upheld even when Malaysian cable vessels are given priority over foreign ones following the revocation of the cabotage exemption, says the Malaysia Shipowners’ Association (Masa).

At a press conference here on Wednesday (Dec 2), Masa chairman Datuk Abdul Hak Md Amin said the revocation did not mean that foreign-flagged vessels were prohibited from entering Malaysian waters to perform maintenance jobs.
