Shipping license requirement does not hinder undersea cable projects, says Dr Wee


PETALING JAYA: The current requirement for foreign vessels to obtain a Domestic Shipping License (DSL) to carry out submarine cable repair work is not a hindrance to any such project, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The Transport Minister said that Malaysia had never been the proposed landing site for the Apricot submarine cable project since it was announced in 2017, which is owned by a consortium led by NTT Limited Japan.
