Labuan and Sabah to be reconnected by ferry


LABUAN: Labuan and mainland Sabah will be connected by ferries again, with the service between the duty-free island and Kota Kinabalu resuming operations on Dec 15, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

The resumption of the once- popular ferry express service, which was forced to cease operations for nearly three years due to low traffic during the Covid-19 pandemic, is expected to address long-standing accessibility challenges as well as revitalise its tourism sector by encouraging tourism packages offering Sabah and Labuan experiences, according to the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories).
