National ferry operators in Indonesia have rapidly mobilized to support government emergency response efforts following a landslide and severe flooding in Central Tapanuli, Sibolga, and Nias Island. These disasters have completely cut off land access, making sea routes the sole logistical lifeline for affected communities.
The National Association of River, Lake, and Ferry Transport Entrepreneurs (Gapasdap) diverted ferry fleets from the Sibolga–Nias route to emergency routes between Padang–Nias and Padang–Sibolga. Six vessels, including KMP Wira Prime and Wira Victoria, have been deployed on continuous 22–23 hour journeys to deliver fuel, food, medicines, and other critical supplies.
Gapasdap acknowledged the swift response from the Ministry of Transportation and related agencies who expedited emergency permits and coordination despite it being a holiday weekend. Special recognition was given to PT Wira Jaya Logitama’s President Director for quickly organizing fleets and crews without delay.
Despite effective emergency actions, Gapasdap urged direct attention from the President and Cabinet, emphasizing the disaster’s impact on food security, fuel, vital logistics, and safety for island populations. Recommendations included ensuring permit issuance, fuel availability for humanitarian missions, increasing budget support for port facility improvements, and prioritizing logistics lanes for aid distribution.
Gapasdap reaffirmed the crucial role of the ferry sector in maintaining national logistics when land routes are disrupted and committed to continuous operation to support affected communities.
