SIBU: Oil tankers plying Sarawak waters particularly its riverine areas are now exempted from complying with the double hull double bottom requirement after the Marine Department amended the Malaysian Shipping Notice MSN16/2020, said State Transport Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin.
He said this was following the publication of MSN22/200 by the department on Dec 7 which detailed the exemption for oil tankers to comply with the MSN16/2020.
“The oil tankers operating in the coastal waters and rivers in Sarawak are mostly single hull single bottom type and are deployed for carrying diesel fuel from adjacent towns to the upper river communities,” he said.
