JAKARTA - PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) said that the ferry ticket booking via the Ferizy online application at Lebaran 2022 is still below 5 percent, but in Lebaran 2023 it is estimated to increase to reach 10 percent.CorpoRATE Secretary of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Shelvy Arifin in his statement Saturday, March 25, said that around 123 million travelers are predicted to travel this year, including users of crossing services.In the 2023 ASDP Eid Transport service ready to serve travelers, especially in eight nationally monitored trajectories under the coordination of 9 branch offices.ASDP prepared production equipment at 8 piers (42 ASDP piers, 2 UPT piers and 7 Pelindo piers), the ship ready to operate as many as 213 units of ASDP vessels, 160 non ASDP regular ships and 1 Pelni ship unit. "The most favorite completion is Bakauheni-Merak, Ketapang-Gilimanuk. There are also Padangbai-Lembar, Kayangan-Potano, Panajam - Kariagau, Tanjung Api-Api - Tanjung Kelian, Bajoe - Kolaka, Ajibat-Ambarita, and additional Ciwandan-Bakaheni, and Ciwandan - Panjang," he said, quoted from Antara.

"In the last two, there are additional ports that will be operated in support of the smooth 2023 Eid Transport," continued Shelvy.

He said there are several things that the public needs to know before going home by ferry. First, there is no more ticket sales at ports and service users must purchase tickets via the Ferizy application for the Merak-Bakauheni and Ketapang-Gilimanuk crossings. Second, tickets can start to be booked from H-60 departures. Then third, prospective passengers must take the H-1 tiet from the date of departure. "We hope that the crossing will run smoothly, comfortably and safely to the destination," he said. He explained, since ASDP implemented ticket purchases via Ferizy, this has made the movement of vehicles inside the port more evenly and the waiting time is shorter. Before the Ferizy implementation, the flow of arrival of service users during golden time or peak load has caused queues of vehicles both on the way in and in the port. However, after Ferizy settings were made, the arrival flow of distributed service users was evenly distributed after the schedule selected by service users and was in accordance with the port capacity and ship transport capacity. "With Ferizy, ASDP sells tickets according to the same amount every day or split traffic according to the concept of flattening the curve," he said. ASDP applies online ticket purchases that can be made by H-60 before departure via web review at www.ferizy.com, applications on Android and IOS, and retail outlets such as Alfamart, Indomaret, Agent BRILink, and others.

Meanwhile, ticket payments can be made through interbank transfer, e-wallet, retail outlets, internet banking, and others. Service users, he continued, have purchased tickets to arrange time on D day so they are not too late and check in the previous 2 hours.

Tiket akan kedaluwarsa jika melewati waktu jadwal masuk port. Apabila tiba di port belum bertiket maka kendaraan akan diputar balik keluar port. "Jangan lupa saat membeli tiket via online, pastikan pengguna jasa mengisi daftar penumpang dalam kendaraan secara tepat dan lengkap (manifest), termasuk data kendaraan. Ini penting terkait hak asuransi setiap penumpang dan memperlancaraan perjalanan," katanya.
