SEPANGGAR: Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd (SPSB) and Asian Supply Base Sdn Bhd (ASB) have formed a strategic alliance that seeks to explore and develop the marine and oil & gas opportunities in the state.

The MoU was signed by SPSB managing director, Ng Kiat Min and ASB chief executive officer, Datuk Harris Annuar Tan.
Standing as witnesses were ASB chairman, Datuk Dr Donald Peter Mojuntin and Suria Capital Holdings Berhad cum SPSB board member, Datuk KY Mustafa.
