AMBON - PT Pelni Ambon branch ensured that the two pioneering ships operating at Ambon Port had to postpone their voyages due to bad weather in Maluku.
"There are 103 Nusantara Belt Vessels and 106 Nusantar Belt Vessels that have submitted a postponement related to the bad weather warning," said Head of Operations (Kaops) of PT Pelni Ambon branch Muhammad Assegaf, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, May 12.
The 103 belt ships sailed the waters of Tual, Elat, Molu, Larat, Rumean, to Saumlaki and Marsela.
Meanwhile, the 106 belt ships sailed Banda waters, Sliding, Gorom, Kesui, Kur Island, to Tual.
The two ships must temporarily postpone the previously scheduled shipping schedule until an undetermined time.
"Until now, it is not certain how long the shipping delay will be, depending on the captain, because he also sees the existing weather conditions," he explained.
Prospective passengers who wish to use the ship are expected not to sail first until further announcement is issued.
Assegaf said it was done for the safety of passengers while sailing to the predetermined route.
"We prioritize shipping safety in service to the community," he said.
