ALOR SETAR, April 6 (Bernama) -- The arrival of the festive season saw more than 100,000 passengers use the ferry service from Kuala Perlis and Kuala Kedah to Langkawi and vice versa, from March 27 to April, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Ferry Line Ventures Sdn Bhd (Ferry Line) Operations Manager Lieutenant Commander (B) Norhafiz Abdul Wahid said the number of passengers for the Kuala Kedah-Langkawi-Kuala Kedah route was 45,063 people while for the Kuala Perlis-Langkawi-Kuala Perlis route was 55,649 people during the period.
"On average, ferry trips from Kuala Kedah and Kuala Perlis comprise 10 trips and two additional trips are carried out subject to the high number of ticket purchase requests during the two days before Raya and also the peak days of Raya from Monday to yesterday."
During the period, a total of 30 additional trips had been provided for all routes," he said in a statement today.
He said the company had also increased the level of readiness of all ferries owned by the company and that was one of the factors that contributed to the smooth operation of the ferries to operate without any hitches during this festive season.
"Ferry operators have ensured that all ferries can operate at a high level and are ready to be mobilised at any time, especially during the festive season. We will also use this method during the Langkawi International Air and Maritime Exhibition 2025 (LIMA '25)," he said.
