Penang Ferry - George Town, Penang, Malaysia. - Ferries and Ferry Landings on Waymarking.com

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.
