Penang Ferry


Penang Ferry Service is the oldest ferry service in Malaysia. Located in the state of Penang, this famous ferry service connects Sultan Abdul Halim ferry terminal in Butterworth to Raja Tun Uda ferry terminal at Weld Quay in George Town in Penang Island. The ferries are designed for vehicles to roll-on/roll-off. Some board pedestrian passengers on the upper deck and small vehicles (cars) on the lower deck, whereas some board vehicles on both decks.
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.
Ferries from Penang International Airport depart in George Town, located some 16 km / 9.9 miles distance from the airport. A regular bus service operates between the airport and city centre locations, as well as the bus terminal in Victoria Street, which is near the main Ferry Weld Quay
