JAKARTA - PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) ensures that the cancellation of the departure of the ferry, caused by extreme weather, will receive a refund or can reschedule at no cost.
"For the extreme, if for example there is an cancellation of departure, we will apply a refund or rescheduling without any additional costs," said ASDP President Director Heru Widodo in Jakarta, Thursday, March 13, quoted by Antara.
Heru said that his party always coordinates with the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) regarding weather predictions. Moreover, in March 2025, it is predicted that there will be potential for bad weather and high waves.
Furthermore, Heru said, when ASDP received a weather warning, his party would wait for a decision from the Office of the Harbormaster and Port Authority (KSOP) for approval of departure.
