YOGYAKARTA - Access to the Ketapang Port crossing has been tightened. People who do not meet the rules are not allowed to cross. This means that people can be sure that they cannot continue their journey to Bali if they do not meet the requirements. Therefore, it is very important for people to know the rules for crossing the Ketapang Port, Banyuwangi, East Java.
Rules Crossing Ketapang PortThe implementation of new rules for crossing the Ketapang Port is applied ahead of the Christmas and New Year (Nataru) 2025 holidays. The rules are in the form of tightening the inspection of passenger and vehicle identification. In addition, there is also a restriction on the operational vehicles of logistics and the system of delaying travel. This is done to anticipate a surge in passenger traffic crossing. The following are some of the rules that apply.
Matching identity with reservation dataASDP Ketapang General Manager, Ardhy Ekapaty explained that in this new regulation, officers will carry out inspections and match the identity of passengers and vehicles with the data of previous reservation information. Ardhy also said that identity checks are carried out strictly without compromise.
"Reservations must match the valid KTP and STNK data. So there is no more bargaining, we all check the identity match to ensure order and security," said Ardhy, Monday, December 22, 2025.
If it is found that there is a difference between the passenger's personal data and reservation information, the officer will give a ban to cross against the passenger. Thus, the passenger will be asked to turn back.
Ardhy also appealed to all passengers who will cross the Ketapang Port to fill in the manifest data correctly and accurately. Data from and data on vehicles must be consistent.
Implementation of Delaying SystemThe Ministry of Transportation also implements the Delaying System policy in the port area. For information, the Delaying System is to hold vehicles at a predetermined point. The point is located before entering the port area so as to reduce the accumulation of vehicles while avoiding long queues at the port. This system is implemented in anticipation of an increase in community movement at the Nataru moment.
Logistics vehicles are restricted.As of December 19, 2025, there will be restrictions on access to logistics vehicles. These vehicles should not cross from Ketapang to Gilimanuk. This is done by prioritizing public passengers and private vehicles, which almost certainly always increase at the moment of Nataru.
In tightening this rule, ASDP will be assisted by police officers. Later, data will be checked in two stages, namely at the port gate and in front of the pier before all passengers and vehicles enter the ship.
The tightening of the rules is carried out in order to increase security along the crossing. The public is also asked to buy tickets through the official application and not buy tickets through brokers so that the data entered matches the original identity.
