Pelindo together with all port agency stakeholders continue to monitor the movement points of travelers and vehicles from all passenger terminals for 24 hours through the Lebaran Transport Post from April 7 to May 8 2023.

"Although the movement of travelers has experienced a surge, the handling of backflow at service nodes in all passenger terminals can be handled properly and safely, including during peak density," said Group Head of Corporate Secretariat, Ali Mulyono.

On April 29-30 2023 (H+6 & H+7), return flows by sea are expected to still occur but not in too large a number. The Long Route - Ciwandan is also prepared to serve logistics and two-wheeled transport vehicles. The return flow for travelers using motorbikes from Panjang Port in Lampung, to Ciwandan Port in Banten, is planned to sail on D+6 or April 29, 2023.

"We are continuing to make efforts so that services at Panjang Port can run optimally, so that there is no congestion and can shorten the process to crossings to Ciwandan and Indah Kiat Ports in Banten," explained Ali.
