If got, I'm sure people will to ride it. Actually, having a restaurant upper floor is not a bad idea also. This still better than small yatch.

Cos MCA wants to get buta gaji & spin nonsense.

Penang ferry plies between Penang and Butterworth on the mainland. Using special vertical Voith Schneider propeller, it is able to move forward, backwards, and sideways without the need for rudders or tug boats.
Voith Schneider propeller are still being manufacture as it is extensively use for harbour tugboats in ports all over the world.

GEORGE TOWN: After nearly a century of service, Penang's iconic car-carrying ferries will cease operations on Dec 31.

Come Jan 1, Penang Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB), which will take over the ferry service from Prasarana Malaysia Bhd, will operate only fast passenger ferries between the Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim ferry terminal in Butterworth and the Pangkalan Raja Tun Uda) here, while one of the existing ferries will be used to transport bicycles and motorcycles.

This is only on the interim before PPSB introduces the use of passenger-only water buses and vehicle transporters by July 2022.

Penang Port Commission (PPC) chairman Datuk Tan Teik Cheng said the federal government had set aside RM30 million for the purchase of four units of the water buses and vehicle transporters.

I don't see any improvement after MCA took over the Penang old ferry terminal after they received huge amount for development. Their deadline for the completion also overdue on July 2022 yet DAP didn't question them at all. Now they become the new government, will they even care?

Money shouldn't be a problem for the spare parts since Penang is a profiting state and a famous attraction for toursim.

It won't come back one lah. DAP condem MCA just to score some point & mislead Penangite.

At the end of the day there is no spare part and it is expensive to maintain. Tax payer money need to be continued to inject just to ensure it continued it operation.

Like the old Proton Saga produced in the 80's officially no spare part liao.
But the old ferry spare part can still be specially produce/custom made...but it will be very expensive.

Unless new modern ferry was used, then plenty of spare part.

Penang is “betrayed” again by both PN and MCA with the termination of the iconic Penang ferry service, which had been operating for 126 years, following the government’s refusal to honour previous PH’s commitments.

According to the Penang Port Commission (PPC), the Penang ferry service that had been ferrying both passengers and vehicles between the island and the mainland will cease operation from January 1 next year, and will be replaced by speedboats carrying only pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles.

To save the ferry service, the Penang government had offered to take over the entire Penang water transport services and ferry service in 2015 by bearing its costs. Unfortunately, the Transport Ministry in 2016 refused to grant full authority to the Penang state government and insisted on exercising regulatory control over water transport and ferry services in Penang, even though the Transport Ministry was not footing the bill.
