JAKARTA - PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry Bakauheni Branch, Lampung, will add to the executive dock facing a surge in homecoming and return flow during the Lebaran 2023 holiday.

"We have prepared it for Bakauheni at pier one, we can see that the progress of the executive dock work is still on the connecting access from the executive dock platform to pier one," said General Manager of PT ASDP Bakauheni Capt Rudi Sunarko, in Bakauheni, quoted from Antara, Friday, April 14.

He said the addition of this dock was to avoid long queues due to the interest of people traveling back and forth who prefer to use the services of executive ships.

"This is done to avoid long queues like what happened on previous holidays," he said.

Furthermore, he said, for travelers who use Bakauheni-Merak crossing services and vice versa, there is no need to be afraid to run out of tickets, because tickets can be purchased 60 days before traveling.

"So for service users, of course, don't panic, because you can book tickets 60 days before departure," he also said.

He also said that ASDP's entrance ticket had already used the quota system.

" Service users don't worry about running out of tickets, because we have used the quota system, one day it can reach 860, so don't be afraid we have prepared the quota," he said.

Rudi Sunarko appealed to ferry service users to buy ferry tickets from far away.

"So we urge prospective travelers from Java to Sumatra and vice versa who will use ASDP crossing services to buy tickets from far away," he said.
