Meantime, Norhafiz said the response and demand for ferry tickets for this edition of LIMA'25 have been significantly higher compared to LIMA'19 and LIMA'23.

If needed, we will extend operating hours until midnight for services from Kuala Perlis to Langkawi, while ferries from Kuala Kedah will run until 10pm,' he told reporters here yesterday.

'We have met all requirements, including the provision of life jackets, lifebuoys and navigation lights.
