Ketapang-Gilimanuk Ferry Services Suspended During Nyepi, When Will They Reopen?

PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) has temporarily suspended ferry services across the Ketapang, Banyuwangi, to Gilimanuk, Bali route. This policy is implemented to respect Nyepi Day. ASDP Ketapang Branch officers closed the port entrance at 5:00 PM WIB on Wednesday (18/3/2026). “Exactly at 5:00 PM WIB today, the crossing from Ketapang Port to Gilimanuk Port is temporarily closed starting today, and will reopen on Friday, 20 March 2026, at 5:00 AM WIB,” said Director General of Land Transportation at the Ministry of Transportation, Aan Suhanan, at Ketapang Port, Banyuwangi, quoted from Kompas.com. Aan explained that this adjustment is part of national transport arrangements. The aim is to maintain order and respect the implementation of Catur Brata Penyepian in Bali. Field observations show that the main parking area at Ketapang Port has become quieter with fewer vehicles. This situation occurred after the announcement of the temporary closure of the Java-Bali crossing.
