ALOR SETAR, May 8 (Bernama) -- More than 40,000 ferry tickets have been sold ahead of the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2025 (LIMA’25), which will be held from May 20 to 24.
Ferry Line Ventures Sdn Bhd operations manager Lt Cdr (Rtd) Norhafiz Abdul Wahid said ferry services from Kuala Kedah and Kuala Perlis to Langkawi have been increased with an additional 100 trips to cater to the surge in demand during the exhibition period.
“We still have about 10,000 tickets available. If needed, we will extend operating hours until midnight for services from Kuala Perlis to Langkawi, while ferries from Kuala Kedah will run until 10 pm,” he told reporters here today.
He explained that the earlier cut-off time at Kuala Kedah takes into account the travel duration and ongoing dredging works in the area.
Norhafiz also gave assurance that passenger safety remains the company’s top priority, with full compliance with regulations set by the Malaysian Marine Department.
“We have met all requirements, including the provision of life jackets, lifebuoys and navigation lights. In addition, we have standby vessels ready to be deployed in the event of emergencies, such as a ferry becoming stranded,” he said.
He also advised the public to purchase tickets online to avoid congestion at ticket counters during the exhibition period.
