The Ambon branch of PT Pelayaran Nasional (Pelni) has adjusted routes to deal with the 2024 Christmas and New Year holidays.
"Regarding our route, there are engineering for several ships such as the Doloronda ship that usually arrive in Jakarta and then return to Ambon, but this time after arriving in Ambon, then returning to Ternate and returning to Ambon, then returning to Ternate, now this is to facilitate prospective passengers who will celebrate Christmas," said the Head of Operations of PT Pelni Ambon branch, Mohammad Assegaf in Ambon, Friday, December 8, confiscated by Antara.
Assegaf said this was done in addition to facilitating prospective passengers celebrating Christmas, as well as to anticipate the surge in passengers that usually occurs ahead of Christmas.
In addition, he continued, PT Pelni also added safety equipment in the form of rescue rafts. This is one of the requirements so that PT Pelni can apply for a dispensation to increase passenger capacity considering the increase in passengers on holidays is quite high.
The addition of high season safety equipment such as Eid al-Fitr and Christmas is indeed from the Central Ditkapel. Additional dispensation of passenger capacity on board on condition that you have to add safety equipment and usually every ship is added safety equipment in the form of liferaft or the rescue capsule," he said.

He continued that PT Pelni would rent additional safety equipment in Ambon, specifically for KM Doloronda, which is centered in Ambon. Meanwhile, other ships will be added by Central Pelni.
"Especially in Ambon because there is a ship that has a home base in Ambon, we provide liferaft in Ambon, if it arrives in Jakarta or Surabaya it is plotted there," he said.
As for the Pioneer Ship, Assegaf said there was no additional safety equipment because there was no dispensation for increasing passenger capacity.
Previously, PT Pelni Ambon branch had also added two ships to anticipate a surge in passengers during the 2023 Christmas and 2024 New Year holidays.
