PSI fishermen to get modern and better boats

A fishing boat being built by Fibra Marine Manufacturing and Trading. The new boats will be made of fibreglass which is more durable than wood.

ELIGIBLE fishermen involved in the Penang South Islands (PSI) reclamation will be getting modern boats that are safer and higher in capacity in the second half of the year under the project’s Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP).

Preparations are now underway to build the first batch of 20 new vessels, which have been designed by marine consultant Aaira Marine Consultancy and Services.
