GEORGE TOWN, Aug 5 — The Ministry of Transport intends to make the Swettenham Pier Cruise Terminal as the home port for the cruise industry in an effort to bring more tourists to Penang.

“Under the Ministry of Transport, our plan is to implement Fly & Cruise in Penang where SPCT will be used as a home port while the Penang International Airport will be upgraded to allow more tourists to visit the state,” he said after holding a visit with the DAP candidate for Padang Kota area, Chow Kon Yeow, here today.
