The event was part of the Kick-Off of the Transportation Fare Discount Stimulus Program in preparation for the 2026 Christmas and 2027 New Year (Nataru) holiday period.
The event was attended by Deputy Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Ir.

On this occasion, Deputy Minister of Transportation Suntana expressed his appreciation to PELNI for its participation and contribution to supporting the national transportation system, particularly in providing greater convenience and comfort for sea transportation passengers.
"On behalf of the Government and the Ministry of Transportation, we would like to thank PELNI for its participation in supporting the national transportation system. Ahead of the Nataru period, we remind all sea transportation operators to ensure that their transportation facilities are properly prepared and undergo ramp checks. Ship captains and all crew members must also ensure their physical fitness before carrying out their duties. In addition, services must be delivered transparently, with public comfort as a priority. We hope PELNI will continue to provide the best possible services, including through this fare discount program," said Suntana.
PELNI Director of Passenger Transportation Business Nuraini Dessy stated that PELNI fully supports the Government's economic stimulus program through a 30% transportation fare discount.
"PELNI fully supports the Government's program to provide economic stimulus through transportation fare discounts. The public can enjoy a 30% discount on the base fare of economy-class ship tickets for departures from 17 December 2026 to 10 January 2027. Throughout the program, PELNI continues to prioritize safety and service readiness for the public," explained Dessy.
Dessy also encouraged the public to plan their journeys well in advance and take advantage of the PELNI Mobile application or all official sales channels, which provide ticket purchases up to 60 days before departure.
"We encourage our customers to purchase tickets through the PELNI Mobile application or other official sales channels connected to PELNI. Avoid ticket scalpers and make sure to purchase tickets only through official channels. In addition, please prepare for your journey carefully, including ensuring that all personal and family needs are taken care of before departure," added Dessy.
In addition to promoting the ship ticket discount program, PELNI also took this opportunity to introduce the PELNI Mobile application to the public.
Through this initiative, PELNI hopes the public will gain information about PELNI's services, the convenience of purchasing tickets digitally, and the importance of using official channels for travel transactions.
