"The peak of the backflow density is expected to occur today," said Plt. Head of BNPB Disaster Data and Communication Center Abdul Muhari in his statement, Sunday, May 8.

Meanwhile, on the evening of Saturday, May 7, the monitoring post officer reported that the situation at Gilimanuk Harbor was observed to be busy and smooth.

The density of vehicles occurs at the exit from Gilimanuk Harbor to Ketapang Port. However, the density of vehicles does not last long and the density only occurs at certain hours.

The port authority noted that there were 33 vessels operating with 244 travel routes in the Ketapang Port manifest to Gilimanuk Harbor on 6 and 7 May.

"As for the passengers who traveled as many as 35,956 people, two-wheeled vehicles were 4,388 units and four-wheeled vehicles were 4,465 units," said Abdul Muhari.

Meanwhile, in the manifest data from Gilimanuk Port to Ketapang Port, there are 33 ships operating with 241 trip routes.

On that occasion, the monitoring post officers also monitored the compliance with the health protocols of travelers at Gilimanuk Port. As a result, there are still travelers and traders who are still not wearing masks.

In addition, a number of residents appeared to be wearing masks incorrectly. After being reprimanded, those who do not wear masks get masks from joint officers.

"However, the general monitoring of travelers at the port has complied with the prokes," he added.
