SIBU: The Marine Department has exempted Sarawak from the Malaysia Shipping Notice (MSN 16/2020) where only double-hull double-bottom oil tankers are allowed to operate in the rivers and coastal waters.

State Transport Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin said that this came about after his ministry sent an appeal letter on Nov 16 to seek an exemption on the double-hull double-bottom requirement for the state.
