BUTTERWORTH: The Penang Port Commission (PPC) is calling for an open tender to salvage and remove two iconic ferries from the Sultan Abdul Halim terminal here.

Vijayaindiaran R. Viswalingam, its general manager, said urgent measures are needed as Pulau Undan, another ferry that berths next to Pulau Kapas, is on the verge of sinking.
