Based on the present cabotage policies, foreign vessels are allowed to enter Malaysian waters and they only need to apply for the electronic domestic shipping licences (eDSL) upon entering, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The Transport Minister said as such, it was not true to claim that the national cabotage policy had banned foreign vessels from operating in Malaysian waters to repair undersea cables.

“Some are saying Malaysia bans foreign vessels. This is untrue because we had allowed Singaporean vessels such as the Asean Explorer and the Asean Restorer to enter,” he said. The reimposition of the cabotage policy for submarine cable repair works has been a contentious issue with critics arguing that it could deter foreign investments and cause giant tech companies to exclude Malaysia from cable projects aimed at boosting regional Internet connectivity.

“The Transport Ministry has requested Miros to conduct a study on the effectiveness on all intervention measures to address the issue in light of enforcement of the law for almost a year now,” he said in his ministerial reply on the motion of thanks on the Royal Address.
