BUKIT MERTAJAM: All six iconic Penang ferries, which are no longer in use, may be scrapped if no parties are interested in taking over or refurbishing them, says Chow Kon Yeow.

The Chief Minister said this was due to the deteriorating and decaying structure of the ferries, which were no longer suitable for transportation services.
