Throughout 2023, the income of MV. Lintas Kepri managed by the Port Business Entity (BUP) PT. Pelabuhan Kepri experienced an increase

This was conveyed by the Director of PT. Pelabuhan Kepri, Capt. Awaluddin. The increase in income was due to the change in the route or shipping route of the MV ferry. Lintas Kepri since mid-2023.

“The result of the change in route was an increase in the number of passengers by 60 percent, automatically our income for MV Lintas Kepri increased,” he told the media crew at his office, Thursday (4/1/2024).

He revealed that the decision to change the route was based on strategic considerations, which had a positive impact on the company and the community in meeting the needs of the ship fleet for the Batam, Sei Tenam, and Jagoh round-trip routes.

In addition, continued Awaluddin, this change is not only about optimizing transportation services, but PT. Pelabuhan Kepri has also provided health service facilities for passengers which are still ongoing to this day.

“This reflects the significant social contribution of PT. Kepri Port (Perseroda) to the community, especially for those who are less fortunate,” he added.

Awalludin explained, since its establishment in 2013, PT. Pelabuhan Kepri has successfully managed two port assets owned by the Riau Islands Provincial Government to be operated as a business/port service.

“In accordance with the company’s vision to manage ports that have been built by the provincial government, including Kota Segara Tanjung Uban Port and Kuala Riau Tanjungpinang Port. In order to have competitiveness in supporting logistics mobility activities from and between regions in Kepri,” he said.

The port service provided by PT. Pelabuhan Kepri is not only limited to the provision of water, fuel oil, and electricity for moored ships, but also includes the arrangement of loading and unloading activities.

He said all of this aims to provide more optimal services for the flow of goods in and out of the port managed by PT. Pelabuhan Kepri.

His party, continued Awalludin, provides marine service through cooperation with strategic partners in fulfilling the anchorage business activities of BUP Kepri

“This service has been running very well, starting from requests for logistics needs, transportation, clean water for ships that are laid up, ship to ship, and other activities,” he said

He said, the optimistic spirit of PT. Pelabuhan Kepri as a BUMD Kepri is reflected in the efforts to continue to market the Kabil Selat Riau and Berakit anchorage areas.

“All of this cannot be separated from the full support of the government, both at the regional and central levels, to optimize maritime business activities in BUP Kepri anchorage activities and port activities,” said Awalludin.

He said, these efforts are expected to be able to provide a major contribution to the development of human resources, employment, Regional Original Income, and Non-Tax State Revenue. (*/Richo Ajho)
