Homebound travelers sailing with PELNI from Batam can receive free health checks at the BUMN Joint Homecoming Post located within the port area.

Head of PELNI Batam Branch, Edwin Kurniansyah, welcomed the presence of the 2025 BUMN Joint Post, which aims to provide comfort to travelers and highlight the involvement of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) during the 1446 H Eid homecoming season.
“In collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV and Perum Perhutani, we aim to create a joyful and enjoyable homecoming experience. We hope this BUMN Homecoming Post will be fully utilized by travelers,” said Edwin during his visit to the location.

For passengers found to be unwell, free medication is also available.

“We’re pampering our passengers with health check services and massages. We’ve also provided a play area for toddlers and children. While parents get a check-up or massage, the kids can play—everyone’s happy,” Edwin added.

In addition to Batam, PELNI has also collaborated with ID FOOD, Perum Perhutani, and Jasa Raharja to set up BUMN Homecoming Posts at Semarang and Baubau Ports.
