Based on the present cabotage policies, foreign vessels are allowed to enter Malaysian waters and they only need to apply for the electronic domestic shipping licences (eDSL) upon entering, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The Transport Minister said as such, it was not true to claim that the national cabotage policy had banned foreign vessels from operating in Malaysian waters to repair undersea cables.
