Jakarta, September 16, 2020 - Passengers of PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia or PT PELNI (Persero) in the middle of the third quarter of 2020 recorded an increase of 314% compared to the previous quarter. The company hopes that the 11 ports that are still closing their activities can operate as soon as possible.

The Head of PT PELNI Corporate Secretary Yahya Kuncoro said that although 11 ports were still closed, 23 out of the 26 ships were operating in September 2020. "The ports which are still closed by the local government are Tarempa, Letung, Kijang, Karimunjawa, Bontang, Lewoleba, Namrole, Saumlaki, Nabire, Agats, and Merauke, "said Yahya.

According to the data, in Q III-2020 until September 13, 2020, the number of passengers on PT PELNI's passenger ships was 151,685 or increasing to 314% from 36,603 passengers in QII-2020. "The number of increases in passengers is quite significant, this is because in the second quarter the number of ships operating was less than in the third quarter due to the Covid-19 Pandemic," said Yahya.
