TAWAU: The reopening of barter trade and transshipment trans-border activities in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone) from March 5 will help restore the positive prospects of the economic sectors impacted by Covid-19.
R-NIE Enterprise manager Arniati Sulaiman, one of the players involved, said the decision to allow non-convention ships (NCS) or kumpits (traditional wooden boats) to transport goods from Sabah to Indonesia and the Philippines, and vice-versa, helped to halt the losses suffered by industry players in Tawau.
“These activities certainly contribute to Sabah’s economy and the State government’s decision is very appropriate and brings relief to all barter trade and transshipment players here.
