        "summary": "PT Pelni, Indonesia's national shipping company, transported 316,602 passengers during the 2026 homecoming period from 6 to 22 March, marking a slight 0.5% increase from the previous year's 315,128 passengers. The peak occurred on 18 March with 31,255 passengers, with Balikpapan as the busiest departure port, Surabaya as the busiest arrival port, and the Batam-Belawan route being the most popular. A government 30% ticket discount programme significantly aided passengers like Jakarta resident Khaidir, reducing his fare from Tanjung Priok to Ambon from Rp892,000 to Rp590,000 amid economic challenges.",
