ALOR STAR – The ferry service from Kuala Kedah, here, to Langkawi will be suspended for two weeks following the implementation of the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) in Kuala Kedah tomorrow.
Konsortium Ferry Line Ventures’ human resources and operation manager Baharin Baharom said this follows the closure of the Kuala Kedah Ferry Terminal from tomorrow to Sept 19.
“Passengers to and from Langkawi can use the ferry service to Kuala Perlis at 11am and from Kuala Perlis to Langkawi at 1pm.
“The ferry consortium, which is operating one trip daily, could increase its frequency if there is a demand,” he said in a statement here today.
He said the allowed passenger capacity at any one time is 50%.
He said passengers who have bought tickets from Langkawi to Kuala Kedah or from Kuala Kedah to Langkawi can get their tickets refunded via email.
“Apart from that, they can also claim their refunds at the ticket counter or exchange them for a journey from the Kuala Kedah Terminal to Kuala Perlis Terminal,” he said.
Yesterday, National Security Council director-general Datuk Rodzi Md Saad announced the implementation of the EMCO in two zones in the Kuala Kedah subdistrict following the spread of Covid-19. – Bernama, September 5, 2021
