ASDP Indonesia Ferry

Founded in 1973, PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry is Indonesia’s foremost provider of roll-on/roll-off ferry transport services. As the only state owned enterprise in the sector, the company takes upon the responsibility of ensuring affordable sea transportation and logistics for the public throughout the archipelago. Owing to its heritage as a pioneer of routes into previously inaccessible parts of Indonesia, ASDP Indonesia Ferry’s commercial operations now tap into the largest network of domestic trajectories among local ferry businesses and serve as a medium for Indonesian trade between islands.

ASDP Indonesia Ferry’s well established presence in the passenger and cargo vessel industry is consolidated through its port management services. The company presently oversees the day-to-day operations of 34 major ferry ports. A one-stop-shop for all vessel needs, these facilities make available international standard port services including streamlined loading and unloading to allow for the seamless movement of goods and passengers from ferry to dock. ASDP now stands ready to take upon larger projects as the next phase in its development into a name synonymous with first rate logistics and port management services in addition to ferry transportation.

ASDP Indonesia Ferry’s commitment to expanding its operations comes at a time in which the flow of goods between ASEAN countries is projected to reach new heights. Beyond its plans to evolve into a major player in port management, ASDP will take upon an active role in regional integration and connectivity by introducing new routes between ASEAN member countries. Having reaped the rewards of a captive market in carrying out its diversification strategy, ASDP Indonesia Ferry now has its sights set on catalysing the emergence of maritime services as the future of Indonesia’s transportation and logistics industries.

ASDP Indonesia Ferry in 2015 will launch a number of routes to spur greater ASEAN connectivity in preparation for the upcoming implementation of an integrated regional economy. Tapping into its previous experience in operating Malaysia-bound ferries, the state owned enterprise will make available trips from Belawan in North Sumatra to Penang. ASDP Indonesia Ferry also plans to introduce routes from Bitung in Sulawesi to the Port of General Santos in Davao, Philippines. Success in these endeavours will encourage the establishment of further ferry links between Indonesia and its neighbouring countries, and will mark the beginning of ASDP’s continuing evolution from the ‘bridge of Indonesia’ into the bridge of ASEAN.

International Routes

National Network

ASDP Indonesia Ferry boasts an unparalleled network of local ferry routes with over 154 routes covering in excess of 13,000 km; a distance greater than that travelled between Jakarta and New York City. The company’s widespread presence across belts spanning the north, south and centre of Indonesia is further cemented by its 34 self-operated ports, located in major commercial hubs such as Surabaya and Batam as well as less developed areas including Luwuk and Sape. In addition to fulfilling its responsibility to reach out to outer islands that are otherwise inaccessible, ASDP Indonesia Ferry offers routes to secluded tourism destinations such as Labuan Bajo and Raja Ampat, and thus plays a pivotal role in showcasing Indonesia’s natural beauty. ASDP Indonesia Ferry also makes available river and lake crossing ferries to allow for the straightforward transport of cargo and people further inland.
