Corporate Secretary of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Shelvy Arifin said his party had prepared a dock and ferries to prepare for the 2023 Eid homecoming flow.

"We have prepared all existing ports, namely 36 ports throughout Indonesia, as well as 222 ships and we have prepared in good and prime conditions to be able to operate during Lebaran later," Shelvy said, quoted from Antara, Friday, March 17.

According to him, his party has predicted that there will be an increase in the number of ship ticket buyers this year.

"For tickets, from last year to today there has been an increase, but in percentage terms, the details are around 10 percent from last year, and there are also those who buy even though it is still far away," he said.

According to him, from a survey by the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub), there were 123 million national travelers using crossing services.

"Well, from there, maybe 5.5 percent or about 6.6 million service users will use our crossings for 2023, that's for Merak-Bakauheni and Ketapang-Gilimanuk crossings," he said again.

He said that to this day tickets have not been ordered too much, because ASDP will continue to socialize regarding ticket purchases from far away.

"Socialization still has to continue to be carried out that there is no ticket sales at the port, so all service users are expected to have purchased tickets before entering the port at least one day before the departure ticket," he also said.

He conveyed, because the purchase of Ferizy tickets can be done from D-60 before departure.

"Buying tickets can be done remotely, because we at ASDP do not sell tickets inside the port," he said again.
