inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Transportation Minister Dudy Purwagandhi says the sea transportation for 2024 Christmas and New Year Holidays continue to operate smoothly.

Dudy says that throughout the holiday, his party continues to visit ports to directly see the preparation of sea transportation facilities in serving the public.

“On our visit, we also talked to the passengers while also checking on ship facilities preparation,” says Dudy on Monday (12/30/2024).

Minister Dudy also said that his party had monitored the Christmas and New Year sea transportation travels with the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), at Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta on Sunday (12/29/2024).

In Tanjung Priok, the Minister of Transportation together with Coordinating Minister AHY reviewed the facilities at the passenger terminal and greeted passengers of the KM Labobar Ship which will sail from Jakarta to Surabaya, Makassar, Baubau, Ambon and several areas in Papua.

The Minister of Transportation said that Tanjung Priok Port is one of the crucial points for passenger movement in and out of Jakarta.

As previously predicted, there was an increase in the number of sea transportation trips and crossing passengers during Christmas and New Year compared to normal days, all of which can be served well by PT Pelindo, PT Pelni, and other private ship operators.

He also appealed to all sea transportation service providers and all stakeholders involved to always improve and prioritize passenger safety and security, in order to provide optimal service.

Meanwhile, AHY says that sea transportation is the most favourable transportation of the public, especially when compared to other transportation, despite its slow movement.

He again emphasized the importance of ship safety and security factors, followed by comfort, cleanliness and order.
