PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) continues to strengthen transport\ncapacity and adjust vessel operational patterns to accelerate the\ndispersal of vehicle queues at the Ketapang Port (Banyuwangi) -\nGilimanuk Port (Bali) crossing, while maintaining a primary focus on\nsafety.<\/p>\n
The Director of PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero), Heru Widodo,\nexpressed apologies to all service users for the inconvenience and\nwaiting times experienced during the service recovery process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that the queues and waiting times have a direct impact\non public travel and logistics distribution. Our current focus is to\naccelerate the dispersal of queues in a measurable manner by optimising\nall available capacity without compromising safety aspects,\u201d said Heru\nWidodo in a statement received in Banyuwangi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He noted that field conditions are being continuously monitored as a\nbasis for adjusting operational patterns. Vessel capacity, load\ndistribution, and travel patterns are being dynamically regulated\naccording to the queue conditions on both sides of the crossing.<\/p>\n
As conditions on one side of the Ketapang-Gilimanuk route become more\ncontrolled, Heru continued, available capacity can be optimised to\naccelerate vehicle movement on the side still experiencing queues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are continuously evaluating all these steps to ensure that\nrecovery proceeds effectively until conditions return to stability,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
According to Heru, as of Tuesday (29\/9) at 06:00 WIB, the length of\nthe vehicle queue on the Ketapang Port side was recorded at\napproximately 8.5 kilometres, with the tail of the queue located around\nSangkong Beach and Parasputih. The waiting time was approximately 34\nminutes, with the queue dominated by logistics vehicles, while no queues\nwere reported on the Gilimanuk side.<\/p>\n
To accelerate the dispersal of queues, he stated that 27 ships are\nbeing operated on the Ketapang-Gilimanuk route, with strengthened travel\npatterns of up to 8 trips. The fleet consists of 14 regular ships\nserving via MB Pier and nine regular ships via LCM Pier.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdditionally, there are four Tanjung Balai (TBB) assistance ships\nstrengthening the service, consisting of one ship at MB Pier and three\nships at LCM Pier,\u201d said Heru Widodo.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/asdp-ketapang-strengthens-transport-capacity-to-resolve-vehicle-queues-1790665366", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
