Penang is a state in Malaysia and the name of its constituent island, located
on the northwest coast of peninsular Malaysia by the strait of Malacca.
It is bordered by Kedah in the north and east, and Perak in the south.
Penang is the second smallest Malaysian state in area after Perlis, and the eighth
most populous. It is composed of two parts - Penang Island, where the seat of
government is, and Seberang Perai (formerly, and occasionally Province

Wellesley) on the Malay Peninsula.
The island of Pulau Pinang is separated from the mainland by a strait 1.5 to 7
miles wide, which affords sheltered anchorage.
The N part of Pulau Pinang is mountainous, and through the center of the island
runs a range of hills, declining in height as it approaches the SW extremity.
Western Hill, the highest point of the island, is 834m high, a short distance to the
E is Government Hill. The W side of the island is low and wooded.
The N side of Pulau Pinang is much indented, except near its NE extremity, and
is fringed by a shoal area with depths of less than 5.5m extending as far as 2
miles offshore.
If you are already cleared into Malaysia, the standard procedure is
to check in with Jabatan Laut [Marine Department of the Ministry of
Transport] and to check out with Jabatan Laut and Royal Malaysian
Customs.
Jabatan Laut is in the Wisma Laut [Marine House], with entrances in
both Lebuh Light and Lebuh Union. Customs officers, located in
Swettenham Pier, issue the Port Clearances. Enter Swettenham Pier via
the vehicular gate (not the building) and tell the guard that you need
to clear out your yacht with Customs.
If you are coming or going internationally (eg direct to or from
Singapore, Thailand or Indonesia), you also need to check in or out with
Immigration. The relevant office operates 24 hours a day and is in the
old Immigration Building at the corner of Lebuh Pantai and Lebuh Light;
enter the building by the door marked ?Bahagian Perkapalan? [Shipping
Division]. For visa extensions, visit the new Immigration Building
across the channel, in Seberang Prai.
When checking in and out, carry ship?s papers, passports, crew lists,
and forms including Port Clearances from previous Malaysian ports.
Remember, in Malaysia, you must carry your passport at all times. A photocopy
does not satisfy the legal requirements.
Penang is justly famed among cruisers for its medical services, superb
food and provisions, developed retail sector, and its multicultural and
friendly population. Services catering specifically to cruisers are
sparse, but many services are available in the well developed industrial
and commercial environment for those who seek them.
Three anchorages and two public marinas are popular with cruisers.
If arriving from the south, you can travel the Western Channel

(between Pulau Pinang and Pulau Jerjak) to the Seagate Anchorage or the
Marina Batu Uban. Or use the Main Channel (under the Penang Bridge), to
reach the Tanjong City Marina or the Junk Anchorage.
Arriving from the north, the Tanjong City Marina, Junk Anchorage, and
E-Gate Anchorage are handy. Or you could continue along the Main
Channel, under the bridge, and round Pulau Jerjak to the Western Channel
and Seagate Anchorage or Marina Batu Uban.

Tanjong City Marina based around
the century-old Church Street
Pier. It is handy to the downtown of George Town. The marina has a floating
breakwater that partly shields boats from ferry wake and wave. Tidal
streams can be significant at spring tides. Berths at the northern end
of the marina offer the best shelter from ferry wash.
Arriving yatchs are required to call Tanjong City Marina on VHF channel
68 when passing Pulau Rimau or Pulau Jerejak if entering from south or
while heading east after passing Tanjong Bungah on your starboard if

E-Gate commercial complex
E-Gate anchorage lies , after
proceeding south down the Western
Channel from the Junk
Anchorage.
Anchor offshore from either the E-Gate
building (prominent
cupola) or the blue-roofed building
housing the Jabatan Laut
headquarters for the northern region
of peninsula Malaysia.
Be alert to
submarine cables and the associated no-anchoring area. The anchorage is
handy to the old marine police jetty, where diesel fuel can be bought.
The old marine police jetty is no longer being maintained.
The bay is
slated for land reclamation. A Tesco hypermarket and associated shops
and food court are handy to this anchorage.
