The Penang Ferry Service is said to be the oldest ferry service in Malaysia. This famous ferry service connects the Malaysian Mainland in Butterworth to the ferry terminal at Weld Quay in George Town on Penang Island.
The ferries are designed for vehicles to roll-on/roll-off. Some board pedestrian passengers on the upper deck and small vehicles on the lower deck.
The benches for passengers on the upper decks have pivoting backs that can be flipped back and forth so passengers can sit facing in the direction of travel regardless of which way the ferry is going.
"Penang Port Ferry is unique, as it is the only port operator in Malaysia that operates ferry services linking between Georgetown (Raja Tun Uda Ferry Terminal) and Butterworth on the mainland (Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal).
Penang Port operates a fleet of four ferries maximum during peak hours with 20-30 minutes interval from 5.20 am to 10.00p.m and one ferry from 10.00 pm to 1.00a.m with an arrival interval of 1 hour." Text Source: (
