Travellers up in arms as Labuan ferry operator halts services due to technical issues


LABUAN: Juta Bonus Sdn Bhd, one of Labuan's two ferry operators serving the Labuan-Menumbok-Labuan route, halted its operations on Thursday, throwing Christmas and year-end school holiday travellers’ plans into disarray.

A notice issued on Dec 28 by the operator's ticketing management company, Binabalu Sdn Bhd, via its official Facebook page, cited unforeseen technical issues affecting its two ferries - Galaxy and Blue Ocean - as the reason for the abrupt cessation of services.
