        "content": "<p>PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) is strengthening the Ketapang\n(Banyuwangi)-Gilimanuk (Bali) ferry service ahead of the 2026 Idul Adha\nholiday by deploying the auxiliary vessel KMP Rodhita. General Manager\nArief Eko stated in Banyuwangi on Sunday that the addition of the\nauxiliary vessel KMP Rodhita, previously operating on the Padangbai\n(Bali)-Lembar (Lombok) route, is to anticipate potential increases in\nvehicle and passenger volume at Ketapang and Gilimanuk ports. \u2018The\nauxiliary ferry vessel measures 1,236 GT and has a capacity to carry up\nto 58 small vehicles or approximately 30 mixed vehicles, and is expected\nto help maintain smooth ferry operations during the Idul Adha holiday\nperiod,\u2019 he said. Arief emphasised that the main focus on the ground is\nensuring gradual and orderly vehicle distribution, with queues remaining\nin motion. \u2018That is the most important aspect; therefore, we ensure all\nvehicle management patterns are coordinated to keep port congestion\nunder control,\u2019 he added. \u2018The northern route from Situbondo, which\npreviously experienced queues up to Grand Watu Dodol, has now returned\nto normal with logistics vehicles accommodated at Bulusan Port area,\u2019 he\nsaid. Arief added that ASDP Ketapang Branch is also optimising the\nparking facilities at Bulusan Port as part of integrated traffic\nmanagement, capable of accommodating up to 400 logistics trucks.\n\u2018Additional BKO personnel have been deployed at key points to ensure\nvehicle flow continues without long stagnation,\u2019 he said. Arief urged\ntravellers planning to cross during the 1447 Hijriah Idul Adha holiday\nto plan journeys in advance, purchase tickets via the Ferizy app before\narriving at the port, and ensure their vehicles are in good condition\nfor a safe and comfortable trip.<\/p>",
