Bakauheni-Merak Crossing Back To Normal After Being Affected By Extreme Weather

JAKARTA - PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) said that the Merak-Bakauheni crossing service had returned to normal after previously being affected by extreme weather.

"The open-close system of the dock is no longer in effect, and the operation of the ship is running according to schedule," said ASDP Corporate Secretary Shelvy Arifin at the Merak Port Executive Pier, Tuesday, November 3, which was confiscated by Antara.

The crossing from Merak Port to Bakauheni Port, Lampung returned to normal and had previously been stopped, because the weather in the northern part of the Sunda Strait was relatively bad.

Currently, vehicle blocking is still being implemented on the Upper Cikuasa route to regulate the smooth flow to the port.

The conditions around the Merak toll exit were observed smoothly, without any long queues.

ASDP coordinates with all relevant parties, such as the BMKG, the Police, and the Land Transportation Management Center (BPTD), to ensure smooth and safety of crossing operations.

"We are committed to providing the best service to service users, although previously we had constrained weather conditions," he said.

He said ASDP also imposed an extension of the ferry ticket period for 24 hours, so service users who had purchased tickets with today's schedule remained served.

ASDP continues to urge service users to plan trips well by setting departure times so they can arrive at the port on schedule.

In addition, they also take advantage of Ferizy's online ticket service by booking online tickets to speed up the check-in process and minimize queues.

Furthermore, monitoring the latest information by following the update of weather conditions and traffic flow through the official ASDP channel and customer service.

"The weather conditions of the Sunda Strait still need to be anticipated by all service users. We urge you to remain vigilant, even though the service has returned to normal," added Shelvy.

ASDP continues to ensure smooth crossing operations and provide excellent service to service users.
