LAMPUNG - The City and Port Authority (KSOP), Bakauheni, Lampung office has alerted four ports to anticipate a surge in passengers during the 1447 Hijriah Eid al-Fitr or Lebaran 2026 homecoming and return transportation.
"The main port is ASDP, then the BBJ Port, Wika Beton as a supporting port, as well as a contingency port. In emergency conditions, we will use the PT SMA Port. SMA can be used for RoRo ships and Landing Craft Tanks that transport goods vehicles and motorcycles," said the head of KSOP Bakauheni Suratno, Thursday, February 26, reported by ANTARA.
According to him, the optimization of the Wika Beton Port and the High School will focus on freight vehicles and motorcycles to reduce congestion at the main port.
He explained that the alternative route was prepared to reduce congestion if there was a surge in travelers, especially on the east-west and central cross-roads during the 2026 Lebaran homecoming.
Meanwhile, the Director of Road Traffic of the Directorate General of Land Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation, Rudi Irawan, added that all ports that will be operated have been evaluated based on minimum service standards.
"We ensure that the ports prepared for Lebaran transportation have met the minimum service standards. The BBJ port is currently considered ready for use, with the hope that the weather will also support the crossing service to run smoothly," he said.
To note, the National Police and cross-ministerial support have monitored to ensure the readiness of facilities on the Bakauheni-Merak track to anticipate a surge in vehicle movement and ensure the smooth flow of Lebaran 2026 homecoming and return.
