Anticipating Facing Christmas And New Year, PELNI Adjusts 14 Ship Routes

JAKARTA - PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia or PT PELNI (Persero) will adjust 14 ship routes during the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 (Nataru) periods.

The entire PELNI fleet will fully operate in support of Nataru's smooth running.

The adjustment of this route was discussed by PELNI together with the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation which was attended by the Director of Traffic and Sea Transportation Hartanto, Director of Shipship and Maritime Affairs Hendri Ginting, Director of PELNI Passenger Transport Business Nuraini Dessy, and Director of Fleet and PELNI Engineering Robert MP Sinaga.

PELNI Passenger Transport Business Director Nuraini Dessy said the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 periods for PELNI would be calculated from 11 December 2024 to 8 January 2025.

During this period, Dessy said that the entire fleet of PELNI ships will operate for the smooth running of Christmas and New Year's flows.

"All PELNI passenger ships have undergone docking and are ready to carry out according to the assignment route during Nataru," he said in an official statement, Thursday, November 7.

The adjustment of this passenger ship route, continued Dessy, was carried out in anticipation of a surge in passengers at certain ports. For example, KM Gunung Dempo will get additional routes to stop in Ambon during the Nataru 2024/2025 period.

"The regular route of KM Gunung Dempo does not stop in Ambon, but because every Nataru passengers ride from Ambon is always high, we enter Dempo to reduce the density of other ships," explained Dessy.

The regular route for KM Gunung Dempo itself is Tanjung Priok-Surabaya-Makassar-Sorong-Manokwari-Wasior-Nabire-Jayapura.

Dessy reminded prospective PELNI ship passengers to pay attention to the adjustment of this route and plan its journey well from a long time ago.

"Don't run out of tickets," he said.
