JAKARTA - Head of PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia (Pelni) Tanjung Priok Branch, Nuraini Dessy said, sea boat tickets at Tanjung Priok Passenger Port, North Jakarta, during the 2022 Christmas and 2023 New Year celebration periods are still available at around 20 percent.

Dessy estimates that his party will transport around 6,500 passengers from 18 December 2022 to 8 January 2023.

As of Friday, December 23 afternoon, 4,360 passengers had been dispatched using the Nongpulu Motor Ship (KM), KM Bukit Raya, KM Lawit, and KM Ciremai, and KM Doryonda.

"Tiket sekitar 20 persen lagi ketersediaannya, untuk KM Dorolinda kebetulan sudah habis," kata Dessy kepada awak media.

He ensured that Pelni would continue to apply strict health protocols to the flow of homecoming and back to the Christmas and New Year period this time, where passengers must get a booster vaccine (third) as the main condition for getting tickets.

"Incidentally, our ticket sales system has been connected to PeduliLindung. When we enter the NIK from the ID card, it has been seen, it has been three or two times. If it is only twice, according to the requirements from the Ministry of Transportation, we will not give you a ticket," said Dessy.

He explained that these requirements apply to passengers over the age of 17, meanwhile, passengers under the age of 17 are given relief if they do not carry out a booster vaccine (third).

The public can buy passenger ship tickets online or directly, including through the resm website, Pelni application mobile, Pelni application mobile, and minimarket outlets in collaboration with Pelni.

"Our preparations regarding ticket sales were mainly that we sold tickets long before the implementation, 1 month earlier we had already sold tickets," said Dessy.
