GEORGE TOWN: A photograph of the Penang Ferry Floating Museum listing to one side has raised questions about it possibly sinking.
Sources said there had been a leak below the ferry, which had caused water to gusher in and cause the ferry to list to one side.
The ferry, 'Pulau Pinang,' was set to be opened as a museum at the end of the year. On Oct 3, it was towed from Bagan Dalam and temporarily placed at the Sweetenham Pier Cruise Terminal (SPCT).
Penang Port Commission (PPC) chairman Datuk Yeoh Soon Hin in a brief statement said the private company, Printhero Merchandise (M) Sdn Bhd who are doing the repair and refurbishing works on the ferry would take steps to address the problem.
"PPC has requested a detailed report from the company," added Yeoh.
