The Eid al-Fitr 2026 return flow on the Tanjung Uban, Bintan, to\nTelaga Punggur, Batam, route entered H+3 on Tuesday, 24 March 2026. PT\nASDP Indonesia Ferry\u2019s Batam branch has strengthened crossing services\nfollowing a record of 11,427 passengers crossing in a single day on\nH+2.<\/p>\n
ASDP data shows that on H+2, or 23 March 2026, 3,539 people were foot\npassengers, while 7,888 others were passengers in vehicles. The number\nof vehicles crossing on the same day was recorded at 3,105 units.<\/p>\n
General Manager of ASDP Batam Branch, Reno Yulianto, stated that the\nincrease in return flow had been anticipated since the beginning of the\nEid transportation period through operational optimisation. According to\nhim, although there was a rise in the number of passengers and vehicles\ncompared to the previous year, the crossing services continued to run\nsmoothly and under control.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough there has been a significant increase compared to 2025, the\nconditions on the ground can still be managed well through operational\narrangements and intensive coordination,\u201d he said on Tuesday (24\/3).<\/p>\n
To serve the surge in passengers, ASDP operated four ships with a\ntotal of around 30 trips on H+2. Adjustments to the sailing schedule\nwere also made to ensure services could accommodate the increased number\nof users.<\/p>\n
Up to H+2, the cumulative total of passengers on that route reached\n67,706 people, an increase of about 16 percent compared to the same\nperiod last year. Meanwhile, the total number of vehicles that have\ncrossed was recorded at 20,179 units.<\/p>\n
ASDP had previously mapped that the highest surge in return flow at\nTanjung Uban Port was predicted to occur on 24 March 2026 or H+3. To\nanticipate this condition, service strengthening was carried out\ngradually starting from H-9, H-3, H-1, up to H+5 and H+8.<\/p>\n
On the Telaga Punggur-Tanjung Uban route, transport capacity was\noptimised through the operation of four ships under normal conditions\nand could increase to five ships during high density. In addition, ASDP\nalso prepared various supporting facilities such as buffer zones,\ntollgates, vending machines, health clinics, customer services, waiting\nrooms, and worship facilities.<\/p>\n
ASDP urged the public to plan their trips earlier and purchase\ntickets through Ferizy to reduce queues and maintain the smooth flow of\nthe 2026 Eid return.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/return-flow-on-h-3-asdp-strengthens-services-on-tanjung-uban-batam-crossing-1774368438", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
