TANJUNGPINANG - The Riau Archipelago Province Transportation Service did not increase the number of fast boats on inter-island routes during the Christmas and New Year periods. However, the intensity of inter-island shipping will be increased so that there is no accumulation of passengers at the port.
This was conveyed by the Head of the Riau Islands Transportation Service, Junaidi in Tanjungpinang, Saturday, December 17. "No sailing time is imposed. If the passengers are full, the ship will sail immediately", he said, as quoted by Antara.
Later, fast boats serving passengers from Sri Bintan Pura Tanjungpinang Port to Tanjung Punggur Port, Batam City, or vice versa, will not apply sailing time.
Likewise, the Roro Ship on the Tanjunguban route to Batam usually sails from 07.30-18.00 WIB every day according to a predetermined schedule. Especially before Christmas and New Year 2023, the entire Roro Ship fleet sails whenever the ship's load is full, regardless of the sailing schedule.
According to the agreement, the services provided by PT ASDP Batam to passengers on the Roro Ship route are carried out until the evening. "Services are provided until there are no more passengers", he said.
