ASDP states Gilimanuk stable after queue cleared to zero kilometres

Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) states that the management of vehicle traffic at Gilimanuk Port has now returned to stable and controlled conditions, following the successful clearance of queues to zero kilometres before the suspension of crossing operations for Nyepi Day.

“A significant moment occurred on Wednesday (18/3), where the vehicle queue was successfully reduced to 0 km right before the temporary suspension of crossing operations. At 22.20 WITA, no vehicle queues were found in the port’s tollgate area,” said Deputy Director of PT ASDP Yossianis Marciano in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday.

He explained that as part of respect for Nyepi Day, crossing operations were temporarily suspended on several main routes, namely at Ketapang Port starting 18 March at 17.00 WIB until 20 March at 06.00 WIB.

Then at Gilimanuk Port on 19 March at 05.00 WITA until 20 March at 06.00 WITA, at Lembar Port on 18 March at 21.00 WITA until 20 March at 01.30 WITA, and at Padangbai Port on 19 March at 04.00 WITA until 20 March at 11.30 WITA.

According to him, thanks to close collaboration among all parties, the service suspension process at several ports could proceed smoothly, orderly, and while prioritising the safety and comfort of service users.

He emphasised that this achievement is the result of collective cross-sector work that moved quickly and in a coordinated manner.

“The synergy of all parties enabled the queue to be cleared to zero kilometres before the Nyepi closure. This shows that solid collaboration can deliver real solutions in a short time,” he said.
