NBCT master plan needed


Zairil: ‘No payment has been made for the undersea tunnel project.’

GEORGE TOWN: The feasibility study on the Penang undersea tunnel project has been submitted and the state government is waiting for the master plan for the expansion of the North Butterworth Container Terminal (NBCT) to be finalised.

Penang infrastructure and transport committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the state government was now waiting for NBCT’s expansion master plan, since the mainland end of the proposed tunnel is near NBCT and has already received the results of the study report on the feasibility of the Penang undersea tunnel since last April.
