Pelindo Prepares Homecoming Command Post With SOEs In 3 Strategic Locations

PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) as a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) has prepared a 2025 BUMN Joint Homecoming Command Post in the Pelindo Regional 4 area at three strategic points in Makassar.

"We are present at various strategic points to provide comfort and security for travelers, namely Makassar Port, Parepare Port, and Balikpapan Port which have been opened from March 26 to 29, 2025," said Executive Director 4 Pelindo Regional 4, Abdul Azis in Makassar, Friday.

For backflow, the Command Post will serve backflow from 5 to 8 April 2025 in the hope that thousands of travelers can benefit from BUMN services on this year's homecoming trip.

The provision of the 2025 BUMN Joint Homecoming Post is in accordance with the Asta Cita Presiden RI Prabowo, precisely point 8, which is to strengthen the alignment of life in harmony with the environment, nature, and culture, as well as increasing tolerance between religious believers to achieve a just and prosperous society.

The 2025 BUMN Joint Homecoming Command Post aims to provide security and comfort for travelers, security and certainty with information and assistance on the way, as well as strengthening friendship and homecoming traditions.

This post provides various facilities, including free health check services, free distribution of drugs, iftar & refreshment, provision of worship areas, rest rooms, working space, provision of baby & lactation spaces, and spot & photo areas.

"We want to ensure that travelers can travel safely and comfortably, especially those using sea transportation modes. With this BUMN Homecoming Post, we hope to help reduce the burden of their travel," said Azis.

In addition to providing facilities at the post, Pelindo Regional 4 also cooperates with related parties such as KSOP, Police, Transportation Service, and Port Health Offices to ensure the safety and smooth flow of homecoming at ports. Pelindo personnel will be on standby 24 hours to provide assistance and information to travelers.

The BUMN Homecoming Post is also in line with the direction of the Ministry of SOEs in order to improve services to the community during the homecoming period.

The SOE's commitment to support the community is not only in business, but also in important moments such as going home.

Raden, a Consultant at a sustainable shrimp pond development company who traveled back and forth from Makassar Port to Surabaya using KM Labobar, said he was very happy with the BUMN Mudik Command Post.

In my opinion, the existence of [Posko Mudik Bersama BUMN] is good, right, making the facilities already in Makassar Port more complete. So accommodating the unrest of travelers, for example, is not feeling well, so it can be facilitated and very helpful," he said.

Similarly, Jovanka, who is a student from a university in Makassar who also traveled back and forth to Surabaya from Makassar Port, said that the existence of the BUMN Joint Homecoming Command Post was very beneficial for travelers.

"We can do health checks for free before traveling by ship. It's very helpful," he said.
