Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi asked the Prabowo-Gibran government to allocate state capital participation (PMN) to PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia (Persero) or Pelni.
Budi said the capital injection was needed to support Pelni's services. For example, it is used to buy new ships.
Furthermore, Budi said Pelni had the role of transportation services that spread to remote areas of the country, especially in Eastern Indonesia. He said Pelni's presence helped the community a lot.
"I stick to Mr. Hekal for the next government to give PMN to Pelni. This is important for us to give. Because it is indeed economically difficult if this is commercial," he said in a Talkshow entitled Pelni Opportunities and Challenges at the Mulia Hotel, Jakarta, Thursday, August 1.
Furthermore, Budi emphasized that services in the maritime sector really need to be a concern. Because it not only helps the community, but can increase Indonesia's competitiveness in the eyes of the world.
"Because we believe that we have an obligation to support achieving our comparative advantage or competitiveness against other countries. The competitiveness element cannot be separated from connectivity in eastern Indonesia," he said.
