Fuel concession for ferry companies underway |14 August 2020

The government will soon introduce a new regulation to allow the two ferry companies operating in the country – Inter Island Boats (Cat Cocos) and Cat Rose Inter-Island Ferry – to benefit from a fuel concession.

Under the new regulation, the ferry companies are to receive 50% off fuel duty with the hopes that this may encourage the ferries to operate every day.

The ferries which connect the inner islands have been operating on odd days due to the impacts of Covid-19.
