‘Quality of repairs to be upheld’

PUTRAJAYA: Telecommunications service providers and data centres here can be assured that 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, said the Malaysia Shipowners’ Association (Masa).

At a press conference here, 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.
