The illegal workers were ferried over in a Batam Line ship which arrived at Sri Bintan Pura International Port of Tanjungpinang at 2 pm, an immigration official said.
Members of the local task force for handling problematic workers welcomed them at the port and took them to a transit facility for temporary shelter.
"They consist of 101 male and 52 female workers," Hamdani of the immigration office said.
He said that most of them carried no immigration documents.
