LABUAN: The Labuan Port Authority (LPA), currently overseen by the Bintulu Port Authority, will operate directly under the Transport Ministry pending the official transfer of the Bintulu Port Authority to the Sarawak Government.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the reorganisation, mandated under the Federal Port Act, would be implemented once the transfer of the Bintulu Port Authority to Sarawak is completed by 2025.
