JAKARTA - Deputy President Director of PT Indonesia Ferry (Persero), Yossianis Marciano, said the peak of the 1447 Hijriah Eid al-Fitr return flow at the Ketapang (Banyuwangi) - Gilimanuk (Bali) crossing is predicted to occur on March 26-29, 2026.
"We remind the public to be more wise in determining the time of travel during the return flow," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, March 23.
Yossi also appealed to service users on the Ketapang-Gilimanuk route to arrange travel schedules in advance or choose times outside the peak period of the return flow, so that travel remains comfortable without having to face queues.
In addition, he continued, it is also important to purchase tickets independently through the Ferizy digital platform, as well as ensuring arrival at the port according to the schedule on the ticket.
"Currently, there is no more ticket sales at the port, service users are required to buy tickets through Ferizy which is available until H-60 departure. Avoid buying through brokers or unofficial agents to prevent potential losses," said Yossi.
Users of the service are reminded to fill in the identity data completely and correctly when ordering tickets to support the accuracy of the manifest and the safety of the voyage.
The reverse flow movement until H+1 Lebaran 2026 at the Bali Strait crossing, said Yossi, began to increase, but the services at Ketapang Port and Gilimanuk Port remained smooth, orderly and under optimal control.
"Since the weekend, vehicle traffic has moved at a steady rhythm without significant queues, this is also supported by adaptive operational arrangements, fleet readiness, and coordinated service orchestration with other stakeholders," he said.
